I can't believe no one has commented on this yet...It's funny, and sad, and ludicrous all at the same time.

Any of you Seattle guys dressing up and hitting the streets on your off nights?

Nice Vette though...I like that you went to the effort to match. Nice touch!


Fer real, I can't believe that people aren't at least intrigued by the notion that there are people in Seattle (and a fair number of them) dressing up and going out to 'fight crime'. Not a joke.

Actually I'm surprised it hasn't happened earlier. I'd imagine that when one gets shot things will come to a halt quite quickly.

Criminals aren't voided from suing people at their crimes...

There have already been so many movies about "regular non-super people" dressing up as superheroes and going out to attempt to fight crime, that it does not surprise me in the least that some people are actually doing it.

I think it adds just a little bit extra to my day, thinking that a dude in spandex might be in my town trying to accost muggers.

I think it makes a good symbol of the population standing up against crime. It's a much better stereotype than the home-sheltered angry guy holding a rifle.
