History[]

Fighting Back Agianst Criminals[]

As Paul watched a news report about how his vigilantism was inspiring citizens of New York City to fight back against criminals, Andrew McCabe was asked by a news reporter how he and his construction crew caught a mugger. He explained that many of the workers from his crew roughed up the mugger before the police came, but in the dramatization, it is shown that the construction crew beat him brutally giving him two broken arms, a broken jaw and cracked ribs. After the news reporter tells McCabe about the mugger's injuries, he lies to the reporter by saying that the "poor guy must have fell down". The construction crew's violent reaction against the mugger was fueled by them being fed up with crime and being inspired by Paul's vigilantism in the city.
