Good tags, great sift.

this guy was arrested not long ago for assault and battery... was on the news him in his costume handcuffed and taken to jail.

probably some youtube vids of it, but he's a great talker but a bit nuts, usually making the local news a few times a year for being arrested, from assault to obstruction

he's got good idea, but cops keep telling him to stop the vigilantism

i just wish we had more vigilante's that would attack the police and beat them up instead

Best case, he's a fucking loon. If he's not, he's far worse... Vigilantes are scum, bypassing all due process, proclaiming themselves judge, jury and executioner without anyone's consent.

One of the Emerald City's more colorfully deranged personalities. =o/

The difference is pretty simple. Superheros exist only in comic books dealing with fictional people...this guy is in the real world dealing with real people.

I accept a lot of premises and actions in fiction that I would never accept in real life.

uh, that's what I'm saying. I think you missed my tone, which is difficult to convey online.

If you took pretty much any straight-up "super hero" and put them in a real world context, not only would they appear to be a weird-o in a lycra jumpsuit, but they'd be considered fascist in their unilateral form of "crime-fighting" which places them in the position of policeman, judge, jury, and executioner...>> ^Stormsinger:

Yep, I'd say I missed your tone completely. Usually, it seem that when someone gets started talking about "superheros" (as opposed to "comic books"), they're a fan of the genre, and hold that superheros are a good thing. I (and apparently you) tend to disagree with that stance. LOL>> ^Trancecoach:
