The Infamous Snackman: The Type of Hero we Really Need

Have you all heard of "The Snack Man?"  In 2012 a man was riding a subway in New York City when a domestically violent physically fight broke out on the train between a man and woman.  "Snack Man" came to the rescue, not by confronting the man, or throwing around some equally violent fists, but with potato chips.  Yes, we said potato chips.  He calmly stood in the middle of the two people and continued snacking on his bag of potato chips.  He didn't say a word, he strategically moved to remain a physical barrier, but he effectively broke up the fight.  This "Stand Up Guy" is exactly what we're talking about.  Let's foster men coming together to address violence, in a non-violent way.  Check out the clip:
