Fixed.

That story cries out for some pictures.

Jason

Yes it does. :-)

When people used to ask me why I exercised I would tell them that I was
training to be a super hero. After all, there are plenty of super
heroes that don't have actual super powers. Heck as far as I can tell
DareDevil's super power is that he can't see.

I even had preliminary plans for a super hero gimmick. I could carry
around pieces of playground equipment and call myself "Jungle Gym."

After reading this particular article, however, I have decided that you
would have to be pretty damn crazy to actually dress up in tights and
walk around outside looking to fight crime.

I can totally understand neighborhood watch type stuff. You absolutely
should know your neighbors and should be on the lookout for suspicious
activity, but walking around in dangerous parts of town dressed as some
sort of comic book hero is well beyond the pale.

Jason

But one must admit, it'd take a helluva lot of guts. :-)

"Jungle gym". That got a good snicker, thanks for the laugh!

At least the one guy carried a taser...
