Superhero on 103.8

    Hi all,

    I dont know If this has been 'discussed' (AH style of course lol) but was listening to 103.8FM(normally cant stand the channel-too much talk not enough music) and there was a guy from the US(typical:rolleyes:) talking about how he is a superhero, due to the fact that policing apparently not being great over there.
    He said that in order to protect his own children & to set an example he went out & got this special 'superhero' costume made that had bullet proof & stab resistant material built in.
    Anyway the long and short of it is that he goes on patrol in his superhero costume & if he see's someone commiting a crime such as breaking into a car he tackles them and makes a citizen arrest, then waits for the police to arrive.
    Now I was having a good giggle listening.

    My question is....would you get involved if you were to see a crime being commited or would you just keep your head down and walk on?

    Personally I have actually chased after lads that tried to break into my car then returned to the house and sat there shaking thinking to myself ''what the f*ck did I think I was doing'' and rang the local gardai, they actually laughed but also gave me a talking to saying ''they could have stabbed you'' but of course I wasnt thinking at the time:o

    Oh he said he was stabbed and shot at.......but still he carries on doing what he does. The police have told him that he should let them do their jobs and he basically told them that because they weren't always there when needed that he was not going to stand around doing nothing while crime was commited in his neighborhood.

    Citizen arrests were made for The Citizen.


    Speaking of him, I wonder what's he up to these days? Haven't heard anything from him here on boards for a while.

    Phoenix hits the streets in a less-than glamorous Kia driven by a female sidekick who never gets out of the car.

    So he grabs a guy, then it's a case of his word against the other guys?

    hmm...

    Local TV stations have somehow managed to catch up with Phoenix who said: "When I walk into a neighbourhood, criminals leave because they see the suit.

    Personally if I saw someone walking around my neighborhood I would pmsl. I would also assume he was on his way to a costume party.

    I was a superhero a few weeks ago. In the sense that a junkie scumbag snatched a girls phone about 10 feet in front of me at the four courts then ran right towards me. I made to stop him and he ran up a lane, I went after him and when he saw me close behind he stopped, turned around and said he "was only messin". Told him to give the girl back her phone, which he did while repeating "but I was only messin". Walked the girl down as far as Capel st and said goodbye. Not even a "my hero" with a leg popping kiss or nothing. :pac:

    So the guy was half my size and probably strung out, the real hero part was not thumping him in his nose for the trouble.

    I'm a lover, not a fighter. Besides, he gave back the phone without putting up a fight, all's well that ends well. Admittedly he did deserve it but I'd rather the situation ended as it did and not have him pull a needle or a knife on me.

    Radiation sickness, visitor from another world, incredible technologically-advanced armour, or it's no superhero.
