Residents of Park Slope are organizing a group of vigilantes to patrol their ritzy Brooklyn neighborhood and nearby Prospect Park after a pet dog was murdered by a crazed homeless man in August.The group is calling itself the Park Slope Panthers, and talks about following the model of the Guardian Angels - which famously kept the subway safe throughout the 70s and 80s by posting red-beret wearing street toughs throughout the lawless transit system.'Do we want to organize a community safety patrol, and take our park back? Think what the Guardian Angels did to take back the subways in the 70s/early 80s,' wrote Panthers organizer Kristian Nammack, 59, in a social media post organizing organizing the group, 'We may also get to wear cool berets. I'm being serious.'
