Another statistic in the making:

[UCANSEE2]

“Police say the “costume-wearing complainants” are lucky they haven’t been hurt.”

True. They would be much safer sitting in a donut shop.

[Carling]

Somebody watched Kick Ass a dozen or so too many times.

[GraceG]

If they are people doing foolish things, why should the state protect them from themselves...

[Le Chien Rouge]

FartMan!!!!

[Pollster1]

Some of them just like the costume.

Well great, now the Seattle police will have something to do. Lord knows that stopping, preventing crime is not in their job description. The only time the SPD is willing to do something, is when their own lives are in danger, or somewhat in danger. If you’re not wearing the blue, you’re on your own in Seattle. I’ve boycotted the city, and no longer venture into that cesspool.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Tell me that this is a joke. Tell me it really isn’t happening.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

How long before some self-delusional guy in a pair of tights has the guts to do something that stops a crime? How embarrassed will the police be then?

[B Knotts]

There are a lot worse things people could be doing than fighting crime.

I wish more people would do this.

The police reserve their god-given right to shoot whoever the heck they want for whatever reason.

Another guy shot in Tukwila last night.
I used to live in Tukwila...

I remember (well, as much as I can remember these days) when I first moved to Seattle about 1979. I noticed that compared to other big cities like NY or Philly or LA there was RARELY a report of anybody shooting anybody.

Now... it’s a daily occurrence.

And honestly, I could sleep better at night and end my days happier if I could trust that I would never have to shoot anyone...

[PeaceBeWithYou]

Tune in next week, same bat channel, for the super villains...

[marine86297]

Same Concept, different outfits.................

[KarlInOhio]

I thought the Keene Act outlawed all "costumed adventuring" in 1977. ;-)

[DCBryan1]

Heh....

The soon to be "statistics" need to be in NIJ level IIIa body armor and carrying something that begins in .4 caliber.

[r9etb]

but also performing good deeds for the communitarian place whom he inhabits.

Apparently superheroes are not required to learn the proper use of "whom."

[DCBurgess58]

The Adventures of Handgun Man. Faster with a speeding bullet! More powerful than a local neighborhood watch! Able to shoot tall villans with a single round! (”Look Up! at that guy!” “It’s a glock!” “It’s a Smith and Wesson!” “It’s Handgun Man!”)... Yes, it’s Handgun Man ... strange visitor from a red state, who came to Seattle with powers and abilities far beyond those of unarmed men! Handgun Man ... who can change the mind of mugged liberals, Cold steel in his bare hands, and who, disguised as an average citizen, a mild-mannered Republican living in a great metropolitan cesspool, fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the Second Amendment!

[Wee-Weed Up]

Mushrooms are very popular in those areas.

Just saying.

[RansomOttawa]

Vigilante "superhero": What gives you the right? What's the difference between you and me?

Batman: I'm not wearing hockey pads.

[The Comedian]

Posers.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[Interesting Times]

Please excuse me. I'm needed in Seattle.
