While professional politicians debate crime policy in Washington, D.C., one Florida man decided to take action.
He didn’t wait for a committee hearing or a task force recommendation.
And a Florida man in Batman pajamas showed criminals what real justice looks like.
Kyle Myvett turned his neighborhood into Gotham City
Kyle Myvett was sound asleep in Cape Coral, Florida at 2 a.m. Wednesday morning when his security cameras started going off like Christmas morning.
His wife noticed the alert first – someone was breaking into their truck right outside their house.
Most people would call 911 and hide under the covers.
Not Kyle.
Dressed in his Batman pajamas – and we’re talking the full onesie with the cape – this guy marched outside like he owned the place.
“I grabbed a hold of their shirt and their right wrist and told him, ‘Listen, don’t try to get away, I have plenty of experience with this,’” Myvett told Fox4.¹
The burglar he caught red-handed was 20-year-old Justin Schimpl, who already had a rap sheet longer than a CVS receipt.
Schimpl wasn’t just hitting one house – this career criminal was working his way through the entire neighborhood like it was his personal shopping mall.
He’d stolen a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses worth $300 each, cash, a woman’s wristlet, and more than $500 in gift cards.²
Here’s what makes this story perfect
Look, we’ve all heard the stories about crime running wild while police departments get defunded and criminals get coddled by Democrat prosecutors.
But Kyle Myvett just proved something that drives the Left absolutely crazy – ordinary Americans don’t need the government to protect them.
They can handle business themselves.
“I’m really glad I had my Batman pajamas on because that gave me the extra confidence I needed,” Myvett said.³
You want to know why this matters? While cities like San Francisco and Chicago watch criminals walk free after stealing from hardworking families, Kyle took matters into his own hands.
He didn’t wait for social workers to have a conversation with the burglar about his childhood trauma.
He didn’t worry about the criminal’s feelings or whether detention might hurt his self-esteem.
He grabbed the guy and held him until the real cops showed up.
The criminal’s story fell apart faster than Biden’s approval ratings
When Cape Coral police questioned Schimpl, his story changed more often than Kamala Harris’s policy positions.
First he claimed another man was with him.
Then the name of that accomplice kept changing.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office sent up a helicopter and deployed K9 units to search for this mysterious partner.⁴
They found nothing because – surprise – the career criminal was lying through his teeth.
Schimpl got charged with multiple counts including burglary of an unoccupied conveyance, petit theft, and burglary of an occupied dwelling.
That’s what happens when you mess with the wrong neighborhood.
This is what community policing actually looks like
The Cape Coral Police Department didn’t lecture Kyle about taking the law into his own hands.
They didn’t arrest him for assault or unlawful detention.
They thanked him.
“Thanks to a quick-thinking neighbor in his Batman pajamas, another burglary suspect was put behind bars,” the department wrote online.⁵
Compare that to what happens in Democrat-controlled cities, where good Samaritans get prosecuted while criminals walk free.
Kyle Myvett worked in corrections, so he knew exactly how to handle the situation without anyone getting hurt.
He used his experience, his common sense, and apparently the psychological advantage of Batman pajamas to stop a crime in progress.
The guy turned into a real-life superhero because he refused to be a victim.
You know what this proves? Americans don’t need more government programs or more social spending to fight crime.
They need more Kyle Myvetts – people who look out for their neighbors and aren’t afraid to act when criminals come calling.
While politicians argue about root causes and systemic issues, regular folks like Kyle are out there actually solving problems.
One Batman pajama-wearing hero at a time.
