Guardian Angels Train In The CTA Subway

By Marcus Gilmer in Miscellaneous on Jun 10, 2009 2:40PM

You might remember a post from March about some Guardian Angels taking on an alleged graffiti artist at a CTA train stop. Now comes this video (via The Windy Citizen) of the Chicago chapter of the Guardian Angels training for hand-to-hand combat on a CTA subway platform. We're not sure if they expect to tangle with buskers or real hardened criminals, but from the looks of it, they're taking it seriously - the video's description calls it, "SUBWAY HAND TO HAND COMBAT." The YouTube user, 3RDRAIL1988, has several similar videos and even a few more altercations between the Angels and disturbers of the peace.
