…

I can’t even say anything. My head’s shaking back and forth too fast.

Hey, I’m totally for this. There’s more than enough bigoted, ignorant assholes in this world devoted to completely terrible ideas and notions. These guys might be foolish, but at least their idyllic. They’re simplistic and there’s nothing wrong with that. No need to shit on their parade, at least they’re TRYING to do something even if it won’t amount to much in some people eye’s. If they’re happy and they try to stand up for positive ideals, Kudos.

…still it’s kind of funny.

You guys should really check out Mr. Silent’s MySpace page. It’s inspiring and hilarious. (Like Mike Huckabee.)

Imagine if everyone was inspired to do good?

Can’t pick on anyone that reads comics and tried to help their community. sure they can become obvious targets…but i like the idea that one day the crime fighters might outnumber the amount of criminals out there.

it just shows that local crime enforcement has their hands full as well.

entertainment coming our way daily.

As long as nobody strays into vigilantism, I have no problem with this.

Please tell me this is viral marketing for Watchmen.

This is real. Not marketing. Mister Silent is someone I talked to a few years ago. He’s been on the news a few times and alot of people feel like he kinda helped push all of this.

If this is real…

“Ultimately, police wouldn’t prosecute unless The Eye revealed his secret identity—a concession he was unwilling to make—but he nonetheless chalks it up as a victory.”

then that sentence perfectly sums up exactly why these people do deserve to be mocked and insulted.

this is real. i’ve met a few of these people, and used to check out a message board they circulated through.

most of them are innocent do-gooders, doing neighborhood checks, chasing off vandals, reporting anything REALLY serious to the police and filing a report (just…you know, in costume), but there are a few that are a bit more…hardcore about it, infiltrating gangs and sabotaging them from with in under deep cover.

it’s pretty crazy/amazing, and really takes alot of balls, even if people do think its silly.

Notice how most of these guys are, for lack of a better term, blue collar? So much for the bored, rich philanthropist conceit.

One of the reasons comic book super-heroes don’t appeal to me as much as they used to is that the real crime, the real problems in the world are not street crime. Those are the symptoms of it. Capitalism run amok, politicians whose sole aim is to line their pockets and those of their cronies, war for the sake of making a handful of people richer at the expense of the entire country: THESE are the real evils in society.

Yet if Green Arrow went around murdering CEOs who made $400 million per year while their employees (or their foreign “contract workers” thanks to outsourcing) get horrific working conditions and slave wages, of course he’d be a “villain.”

But that would be justice.

P.S. Yeah, I’m a left-wing nutjob.

Still not as powerful as Mr. Silent but Deadly “He who smells it and deals it”

i don’t want to be a stick in the mud, but i think this is a mark millar prank.

Can’t say these articles aren’t being written by journalists that want to ride the storm of the “comic/movie” sweep, BUT WE are here to help.

Community support, Crime Prevention, Disaster Response… If citizens need help, we are there for them!

There are those, as any community, who take things too far… Personally I have yet to hear of any accounts.

OMG guys and girls the expendables will be awesome
