GUARDIAN ANGELS KNIFE ARREST 11/10/08 CHICAGO RED LINE 95TH C.T.A.

[clockwrkclash]

thank you! some of these comments are ridiculous, how can you say anything against these guys? they are volunteering their time to save lives.

[def51100]

hooplemott..i'm the other guy from the UK who agrees that the GAs need to come back! Film maker Michael Winner got them to visit the UK in 89 and people felt MUCH safer, particularly as The Equaliser was also on tv at the time! Kids get stabbed to death outside schools in London almost every week! Bring back the GAs...NOW!!!

[MrKdog3000]

Thank yall my dad use to be a graduian angel,until he got shot keep it up

[gyoussef]

@MrKdog3000 sorry to hear that your dad is a hero and with more people like him the world would be a better place.

[MyYutub11]

man, you're awesome!! but why don't you arrest any major drug dealer, are you afraid or are they paying/threaten you not to?

[3RDRAIL1988]

@MyYutub11 If we are a afraid why patrol? We only arrest people who commit crimes in front of us. Regardless of what you may want to believe, most major drug dealers are seldom seen, let alone with drugs on them. That is what the street level dealer does. That is why they are major. Threatening someone is against the law.

[bangtokhammer]

@MyYutub11 That's the police's job. Major drug dealers don't just waltz down the street causing trouble - they live detached and in the background. It takes evidence and surveillance to arrest and prosecute a major drug dealer, something which only the police have the resources and power to do. The Angels are on the street level stopping street level crime. Try not to be so cynical.

[3RDRAIL1988]

@bangtokhammer Thank you, well said.

[hooplemott]

can you guys come to the UK please, we are n dire need of help here!

[MrBeeknees]

SHIT IS ILLEGAL

[3RDRAIL1988]

@MrBeeknees Robbing people is illegal. Wake up. If your mom or sister was being robbed, you would want someone to do something.

[MrBeeknees]

@3RDRAIL1988 I didnt read any thing about a robbery, the kid had a knife so what? maybe he was scared? maybe to protect himself ? What happens when someone pulls a gun out what are you going to do then?

[Mrstupidsexy]

Y didn't they go upstaires on 95th? I hears dem boys don't play ova there! Good job, but if you go up there u might want to carry a gun..........

[3RDRAIL1988]

@Mrstupidsexy Every time we leave the system, we have to pay to get back on. If we could get on the CTA for free while on patrol, we could patrol around the train stations in some of these neighborhoods. We do not carry an weapons regardless of neighborhood.

[Nickwestv]

Citizens arrest, get shot stabbed or knocked the f out pullin somethin like this on them streets, and theyre only gonna patrol till midnight, ha, camdens just startin to come alive at 12 midnight

[Nickwestv]

I guess you could say thats professional considering you did nothibg but film the incident while the undercover did everythibg else, ive seen plenty of videos with you people getting involved and doing things you have no right to do although you stand for a good cause im against this group what a bunch of straps get a life, or it will be taken from you when you guys get shipped to camden,nj which is a real hood where people could care less about some random white guy gonna try to put them under

[Flopstar80]

I seen these guys along time ago here in Toronto but i dont know if they still exist here cause i havent seen them in over 10 years.

You guys still have a chapter here in Toronto?

[pete5668]

Illinois (especially chicago) needs to allow people to carry guns.

[kadafi1257]

last year my girlfriend was on the train n she felt she was bein followed by a guy wen she got off work she had gotten on the train and desided to aproach her she refused to talk to him so he sat on the opposite side talking to himself how he would love to do a female thats in front of him she called me n i told her im meeting her on the tracks wen she gets to her stop wen she gets off there were 3 guardian angels that tried to approach him i guess they heard him seend him

[3RDRAIL1988]

Thank you for sharing that story. Sorry she had to deal with him. Take care.

[ladytrapstaryadigg]

y i dnt neva c yall

[3RDRAIL1988]

The CTA is a big system. We haven't crossed path's and maybe one day we will. You can join us and volunteer and you will have no problem seeing as many Guardian Angels as you want?

[xMANIACxCOP]

Good job, very professional. There is nothing wrong with a citizen standing up for another citizens rights. It is legal for a citizen to make a "Citizens Arrest". GA takes a proactive approach rather then the police who are more reactive.

Don't pay attention to these tree hugging liberals.

[charlestodd3]

I agree. They did a great job!

[Nostinkingbadges]

Where was the CTA Security,we all know that there is none whatsoever,ans to top it off we all get to pay more money for those union salaries for them to do nothing.Thank God for the Gueardian Angels, Keep up the great work

[ikickpuppies01]

@Nostinkingbadges the security at cta is outsourced and non-union, blame your mayor for not having transit police like other big cities.

Those who would trade liberty for security, deserve neither and shall have none. ~ Benjamin Franklin.

Btw, I've been jumped on more than one ocasion.

I've had knives and sharp objects and even guns pulled on me.

These are the assholes that I worry about.

aggro thugs amped up with a false sense of authority trying to control people.

They seem to love to go after people for minor offenses.

Harassing the citizenry of our once fine, proud nation. It's sad.

[xMANIACxCOP]

"Those who would trade liberty for security, deserve neither and shall have none. ~ Benjamin Franklin." - infowarriorpdx

You talk about liberty, what about the passengers liberty when someone displays a knife at you? What about the passengers liberty on each plane that went down on 9/11when displayed with boxcutter.

Nobody is trading liberty for security. These guys along with the police ensure liberty.

You don't know shit, stop talking out of your ass.

[hal2526]

strange

[jorgehere]

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK....dont listen to these meatheads... one day when they get mugged, stabbed or shot then they'll wish the guardian angels were there to help them.

[jpschubbs]

The good citizens of this country can take care of themselves without some goose-stepping self proclaimed vigilante group.

[jorgehere]

To be honest, I would much rather the guadian angels roll up on me than the cops... You'll notice on all their videos they DONT use unesesarry force.. furthermore they help calm down the criminal by telling them calm down dude relax.. the cops would just mess you up bad with their big old flashlights and you know!!! These guadian angels are disregarding their own lives just to protect people like us while wanting nothing in return... thats what I call a HERO....

[jorgehere]

one more thing to jpschubbs, the majority of citizens are just that, civilized people who are not trained to be street smart and how to street fight.. in the street there are no rules... the angels help make sure those good citizens make it to work and back home to their families.... the angels are here for good citizens and to get rid of the trouble makers and i'm thankful we have people like that around...

[rivethead469]

Thank you very much for your opinion. I am a member of the Inland Empire chapter in California. Granted we are not a "goose-stepping self proclaimed vigilante group", in all honestly I believe this country was to be "for the people, by the people," and that it is every single persons responsibility to keep an eye out for our own. if more citizens looked out after eachother then our country would be a much more secure place for our children to live. "DARE TO CARE"

[bluecollarcanuck]

@jpschubbs Well, I beg to differ on that one...I'd trust the "vigilantes" more than I'd trust the cops.

[liljtellem]

@jpschubbs Their helping you ungrateful piece of shit

[bangtokhammer]

@jpschubbs You might be able to take care of yourself, but what about an 80 old lady against two young men? Same old story USA. As long as I'M ok and don't need .. why should anyone else.

[3RDRAIL1988]

@bangtokhammer Thank you. 

[withfists20]

i dont care what the critics say, good work

[njtr]

It's great to see average citizens serving their communitiy in this way. These guys are a real deterent. The police do a great job, but they can't be everywhere at once. A criminal who wants to victimize someone will think twice about it if he sees guardian angels. Somebody could have been robbed that night if the arrest wasn't made. Good job.

[1badvr4]

Nice job.
