I'll admit, I'd be less concerned about his presence and decisions if I knew that he had formal training in something other than mixed martial arts. I still get the feeling that their weird little hearts are in the right place.

If Midnight Jack or whoever called 911 to help out the situation, good on them. Let's see the UNEDITED FOOTAGE.
Also good to know that others who wear the label of RLSH or Initiative don't do anything "of consequence." Maybe we should just stand on a street corner and wait for a fight to break out like the RCSM.
Purple Reign (only female member of the RCSM) who DOESN'T PATROL (not often, if at all) was recently awarded by the UW Women's something or other.. basically was recognized for advocacy of DV awareness. Not patrolling. Not standing on a street corner and waiting for the bars to close.
So basically, the only member of Phoenix Jones' "crew" is a woman who doesn't patrol... and I'm guessing 'doesn't do anything of consequence."

trolling is par for the course on the internet. Human nature is profoundly fucked up. Offline, we check our behavior for fear of consequences ranging from job loss to alienation/ostracism or of provoking violence. Online, when people believe they are anonymous (you aren't really, but it sure feels that way), people will express their individual pathos in ways they never would in the real world.

Most of the people posting here have that mentality. You can't take them seriously, because they are fundamentally cowards. If we had this discussion at City Hall, I'm sure people's responses would be more measured and thoughtful.

Besides, half of them are teenage children posting their hormonal angst onto the web anyway. Of course they're impressed with punching people out-haven't you noticed that action flicks primarily target the adolescent male audience? Its a rare and sad 45 year old that goes to the theater to watch 300 or movies like it.

The good news is that these kids posting here can't vote. They have no voice in our government. We do. And we can get meaningful things done.

If you liked my idea, share it with a politician who can implement it. After enough phone calls , emails, and personal contacts, it will get done. And together, we can move Seattle forward.

I think that EMT training would do many of these costumed people a world of good, or even basic First Aid.

If the rest of his crew is afraid of being named as part of certification, I'm sure that a doctor or trauma nurse or SOMEONE with training would be more than happy to teach them basic first aid and how to recognize signs of things like drug overdose.

... But they don't. Because if it can't be solved by punching someone or unloading tear gas into their face, it's not glamorous enough.

Help us bomb those jungle towns
Spreading pain and death around
Coke 'n candy wins 'em round
Batman

Help us smash the Vietcong
Batman
Help us show them that they're wrong
Batman

Help us spread democracy
Get them high on LSD
Make them just like you and me
Batman

Show me what I have to do
Batman
'Cause I want to be like you
Batman

Listen, I know these folks have odd taste in street clothes and perhaps their adulation of comic books is a tad juvenile, but so what? I like living in a freak show. I live in the Greater Seattle Area because there is a 75% chance that anyone I happen to be near is even weirder than I am. Phoenix Jones wants to romp the streets dressed in tights calling himself a superhero? Fine by me. And while they're at it, lets train them up so they can be useful, too.

Besides, if this superhero thing leads to more men working out and developing easy-to-look-at bodies, I'm all for it. Keep Seattle beautiful by encouraging geeks to go to the gym.

If you want to call us trolls that is fine. We bring the facts, we bring them hard, and you have not once, NOT EVER been able to argue them down.

You say that we should stop trolling your page? Guess what... takes 5 seconds to look, post something, and move on to the stuff that we do... which is what you do, only correct, and the multiply that by about ten.

And we're not slapping band-aids on a societal problem. We are looking for ways to bring actual change. BIG change. And we have found those ways.

We are not trolling some celebrity's page... We are voicing concerns over a man who has decided to take others lives into his own hands, and is doing it poorly and refuses to do what is necessary to be better. All he does is continue to up his force levels and his cache of weapons, instead of raising his knowledge, education and conflict resolution.

Our POV may not be popular, but it is right.

To Fodor: It's never going to stop until you start doing it right. And that's not politics, that is directly relevant to that fact that you have put many people in danger due to your lack of either training or understanding/comprehension of said training.

You are on notice.

-Love, Jack
