    If the headline was, “For the sake of boosting their own egos, Guardian Angels assault the first Latino man they see,” it would still be one of the least surprising things I’ve ever read.

      Everyone wants to feel important, valuable, like they are contributing.

      Turns out the easiest way to feel important is to declare yourself the area’s protector, no qualifications needed except your willingness to use violence. Now you’re important and every who isn’t a libcuck should appreciate you and thank you for your service.

      None of these guys would ever dream of providing value to their communities by bringing a broom and garbage bag with them to clean the streets. No, they’re above that.

        What? Do you expect them to bring narcan everywhere just so they can do something as mundane as saving a neighbor’s life despite them being a drug addict? Or for them to talk to their neighbors about what they need instead of just deciding themselves? It’s not like they’re gonna stoop so low as to start picking up groceries for elderly neighbors
