And Now For More Vigilante News...


Being a pedestrian shouldn't require a superhero to keep you safe, but it couldn't hurt I guess. According to the Where the Sidewalk Starts blog, Mexico City has one. Peatonito ("Little Pedestrian" in Spanish) and his friends roam the city in Lucha Libre costumes, blocking cars, painting crosswalks and righting other wrongs against pedestrians. Intrigued? Here's Little Pedestrian's Facebook page where you can learn about his exploits. If you can read Spanish that is. Otherwise there are some pretty funny pictures. I've got a Wonder Woman costume I could contribute to the cause...

You think cars will stop for Wonder Woman? Most do not stop for other pedestrians. I do hope they don't get run over helping the kids cross the street.

That's the problem with efforts like this. Despite good intentions someone usually gets hurt. Like that superhero guy in Seattle that got beat up while fighting crime.
