One of the first points made here against the RLSH movement was about the Gun.
People out in the night with a firearm looking for problems to solve is a vigilante. Many a hero, villain, and supporter stood up and said that is not what the movement was about. I was misinformed, incorrect, and wrong. I was told anyone who carried a firearm would be dealt with and not considered a RLSH.
So please inform me! Superhero carries a firearm. He has said so, this is a fact. Please tell me how this act is justified?
In his own words he claims to need this for self defense against the 00.1% of people who have made threats against his life or those of Team Justice. Why have people made threats against them? I can only speculate that certain people in society do not feel like they need self proclaimed protectors. I also wonder what happens after 10% of the populous stands against the RLSH? If you use fire arms for 00.1% what next, full automatic machine guns? Grenades? Flame throwers?
A Firearm is a tool of man, the same as a flash light, a microwave oven, or a wrench. Will you stumble around in the dark if you have a flash light? Will you boil water over an open fire if you have a microwave oven? Will you use your hands to undue a bolt if you have a wrench? And will you restrain someone who is dangerous or shoot them instead?
As the Kick-Ass movie states... they don't have powers.... and they don't care.
Very well put as always, my good friend. If I do indeed (as I've heard from the heroes) represent the raging, profane asshole of the villain community, you most certainly are the calm, intelligent commentator who's voice must be heard.

PK, when you're right, you're right.
ReplyDeleteMalvado, you're still a douche. You can't be a douche and then ride the coattails of someone that's not a douche to make your image justified.
Poop Knife,
ReplyDeleteWell said, and a point one had missed. Another consideration is that, as the RLSH will point out themselves - there are heroes we know about, and heroes we don't. These heroes who maintain a low profile, but follow the exploits of their web-friendly counterparts, are unquantified. How many of these vigilantes are (as Ghost of Nixon claims) "Packing Heat"?
Thank you for another excellent post,

None of them.
ReplyDeleteWe do tend to police ourselves when it comes to loose cannons. Superhero works closely with the police, fyi. If they had a huge problem with it, I'm sure they'd put a stop to it. No matter how much I don't like that he carries, but I've had that conversation with him about it.
I suggest that you start some kind of arena/public forum where you can debate directly with some of these guys. Because these free floating blogs aren't going to do much, honestly.
freewebs is a good, easy site to use.
LOL! I just listened to Malvado's show. Where is that little mouse? I just played back the second Creature Feature episode you called Poopy. Both Mr. Dingles and Mall Peeper said they would deal with any RLSH who carried a gun.
ReplyDeleteI still think you are a load of crap Poopy, but sadly you have made a point.
