I guess I didn't "Jones it" ?

by Webmaster February 5, 2012

So just now Ladyhero Rlsh gets home & I go out front to greet her & I hear “You fat F765ing whore! I hope you die! You’re gonna die anyway!” :/ It’s some guy on a bicycle yelling at some car …The car pulls up & stops about 70 yards from me The guy pulls up next to the window, stops and the verbal exchange continues. I watch…they quit…go their separate ways. Why didn’t I feel the irresistible urge to run up to them screaming ” BREAK IT UP!” & soak them both with pepper spray? Something must be wrong with me.

(Maybe I just didn’t want to get beaten with a shoe? I don’t know…)

Chuckle….
Yes, a heated exchange of words alone rarely lands someone in the hospital.
Sticks, stones, and shoes, however…

That irresistable urge is something i believe is engrained into you from birth but the very fact that you dont have it and you still do what you do is even more admirable in my eyes. The fact remains though, if its a domestic dispute that is only verbal and you dont know the details behind said dispute its better to keep an eye on the situation for any physical escalation than to respond with violence. Violence only begets violence. And for a hero that means you can never start violence without just cause (eg imminent threat of someones well being or blatant/known criminal action with refusal to end said criminal act). And in my opinion a hero should never kill unless absolutely necissary, everyone is capable of changing their ways. If it takes me knocking someone out and leaving them for the police with evidence on their person to give them their wake up call then so be it. I believe a hero is a courageous person who fights for whats right when need be but is also compasionate to his/her fellow man. keep up the good work man. I hope to start my own hero career in Detroit soon enough.

Detroit? Yikes! Good luck to you man! Keep your head down 😮 But it sounds like you have a level head & are already way ahead of the game in the smarts dept. You’ll do fine.

You and I both know that there’s a difference between a rough verbal exchange and someone getting beaten by a mob when they’re on the ground. You did the right thing. I think the world of you, Bud.
But I also think Phoenix did the right thing in his situation and the court agreed with him, much to the embarrassment of one Seattle police officer who overreacted.

superhero February 24, 2012 at 7:55 pm

The court didn’t agree with him the people he attacked were Russian Immigrants & didn’t want to deal with the authorities. Hence they didn’t press charges.

Why so much hate on jones? Its very stupid have internal fights instead of focusing that energy on doing good stuff.
You are not a superhero, just a guy whit spare time for dressing up like a comic book and speaking bad of other people.
I feel sorry for you :(.

superhero February 24, 2012 at 7:53 pm

yeah & I feel sorry for you. Supporting some guy who randomly runs up & maces people (Three different Groups that night BTW…trying to get good footage of it) who are minding their own business…while he himself has two illegitimate children out there from two different women and supports neither. If you think that makes him a superhero instead of a piece of garbage…you’re the one who deserves the pity.
oxoxoxo

And as for “Doing good stuff” let’s see….I run a Non profit that just raised the cash to HELP send a little boy for his treatments, I patrol the streets of my town looking to HELP stranded motorists (Not mace them…what a novel idea) I HELP people where ever I can & HELP promote the RLSH community (Not myself…wow another novel idea) where ever I can. the caps locked word being HELP…
…but if you feel the somebody who runs around randomly attacking groups of people so he can get some good footage for a reality show is “Doing good stuff” well once again…pity.

You are right. He isn’t a SUPER hero. No one on this website is a SUPER hero. SUPER heroes have super powers.But they are heroes. They go out and risk their lives everyday. It’s THEIR choice. They can do whatever they want in THEIR sparetime.
Good article, SH, I enjoyed it.

@rANDUmdude
You are right. He isn’t a SUPER hero. None of us are SUPER heroes. Super heroes are heroes with super powers. But they are heroes, and dang good ones at that! Sure, we could do something normal in our spare time, but WE choose to do something that helps other people wo aren’t as fortenate as us. Why don’t you get a life instead of complaing about what we do in OUR spare time.

Hi I live here in Chandler, Arizona and I’m very interested in becoming a real life superhero myself. Right now I’m doing a research paper about all the things real life superheros do, and its been really fun. However even as I read about all the cool fun adventures you guys go on that I really want to be apart of, I still find it hard to really just slip on the costume and go do something amazing. Maybe its cause I’m timid? Or maybe because I’m sure my parents would never approve of my dream, they want me to grow up and be something where you earn alot of money, but I want to do something that makes a difference. Anyway I’m not really so sure why I just wrote all that, I’m just really interested in joining the RLS community. And any response or advice would be greatly appreciated. By the by, I’m 14. I know I’m not old enough to do all the really dangerous missions, but I hope that by doing charity work around my community I will feel more comfortable in the getup and learn somehelpful techniques as well.
Thanks for taking the time to read this long comment

Just Got your message.
Interesting you asked me, Years ago a Younger guy (Symbiote Now) came to me & asked for advice about “Coming out of the closet” or telling his parents he was a Superhero. I helped him out & he was on my Team for years, now he’s just about through Collage, 21, and his Superheroing has the full support of his folks. So I’m usually the guy who gets refered to about helping you guys tell your folks.
Here’s a link to a conversation I had with the new “Z” and his mom about him doing it. she supports him now as well. Hope listening to this gives you some ideas.

As far as Joining? If you’re already doing charity & such? helping the general public whenever you can? Then you’re already on your way.
I’m a big one for helping students & any help you need with your paper I’ll gladly give you, I’m easier to contact on Facebook send me a friend request: http://www.facebook.com/oldsuperhero
Hope this helps you out & I’ll hear from you soon.

Sometimes staying out of a situation is the best thing you can do. If things were to get violent, though — well, that’s when it’s time to step in.

DeathWatch February 28, 2012 at 3:33 am

yeah some how i think running at them with a load of pepper sprey wouldnt have helped(except maybe that you head would have got beaten in ) sometimes just watching and waiting is the best defence.

superhero March 22, 2012 at 9:02 pm

yeah I used to get paid to get my head beat in at least 🙂

Black Eagle March 5, 2012 at 1:50 am

I’m Black Eagle from Huntington, West Virginia and I haven’t even started my patrols yet and I was wondering if you had any tips becoming a RLSH. I’m not even 13 yet so any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Black Eagle

superhero March 22, 2012 at 9:02 pm

My advice is Keep training, & do the right thing for now. We really can’t condone “Minors” going out on patrol but that’s not a huge deal. just gives you more time to study up, train up, & be ready when the time comes. Good luck to you Brother 🙂

The Blazing Blitz March 29, 2012 at 4:17 am

Hi Black Eagle,
I just wanted to say I live in Chandler, Arizona and I turned 14 a few months ago. So, in a way i kind of know what your going through. I have a bit of karate training that I’m still doing but I still haven’t had my first patrol yet!!!!! I think going out and doing food/toy donations is a good way to do superhero deeds too, without parents freaking out, and you still feel like you made a huge difference. Your superhero name is really cool by the way.

“Superhero” gets the point across. I show up & say “I’m Superhero I’m here to help” and folks know I’m the good guy. It works way better than when I called myself Chainsaw killer 😉 Charity, food drives, & just helping your fellow human beings is a great way to get started & get your feet wet while you’re still getting your skills up & are ready for full on patrolling. get as much training as you can in the mean time, & helping others out will make you more street savvy in the meantime.
