A reporter for KOMO-TV Seattle became a bit of a hero Sunday after breaking up a street fight on the Seattle waterfront.
Shomari Stone was just beginning to film a video when he looks over behind the cameraman and begins yelling, “Hey, hey, hey .. Whatcha all doing?"
Stone tells the cameraman “hey. get the video,” and as he turns around, he captures three guys fist fighting on a Seattle boardwalk; a fourth one lurks up shortly after the camera turns around.
At this point, one of the men is being held down while he gets pummeled, and that is when Stone decided to jump in. Seattle Examiner
Uhhh, good job? This video is pretty insane for a couple reasons, besides the obvious ones. Brings up a lot of questions too. What's going on with white boy's friends when he gets taken down? Have they seen too many superhero movies and think you're supposed to wait your turn to attack a dude one by one? Check out the little on the toes dance they're doing in a circle around the real action. Perhaps they're muggers who just don't have their heart in it.
Then our hero news reporter executes one of the worst tackles I've ever seen. I know that when you're in a fight everything sort of moves in slow motion, but I don't think that is supposed to apply to the people watching it on a video too, is it?
And then let's consider the outcome of the entire thing. Are we sure that was the guy that needed to be admonished? The black guy being surrounded by three skinhead looking motherfuckers who managed to protect himself?
“Hey, stop man, you’re going to hurt him,” said Stone, as he grabbed the man and began rolling on the ground with him.
Uh, durr? That's what I'm trying to do.
Then there's the little moralizing sermon at the end. The irony of the story! Ho ho. You have to watch it to find out. /nospoilerz. My man here is like Jesus meets Batman, fucking up villains and forgiving thine enemies and whatever. Except he's also sort of fighting the wrong battle. So, exactly like those two I suppose.

Some people think Batman was just a different retelling of the same Jesus parable, so I can see where you might be confused.
Nobody thinks that.
