60,000+ people within 10 square blocks.
cops everywhere with riot gear and horses.
while investigating some trouble outside of a parking garage,we were asked to stand back from the entrance as the police went in with shot guns..i still have no idea what happened,but i heard no gun shots..another citizen was trying to get into the garage,and we began talking..within seconds he said..”hey,are you justin?”…i played it off and told him i wasn’t,of course….it was some kid i haven’t seen for years who remembered me from the performance art stuff i’d do downtown.

This is the birth of the first website of the Super League of Superheroes! We, as the SLS, decided that this new global community that some have taken to call the “Internets” has grown to a point where there are people that need protection! Thus, SuperLeagueofSuperheroes.com spawns as a home for those that need protection, idealize Real Life Superheroes such as myself and Squeegeeman, or just like our flashy costumes!
It is also a place that Superheroes can congregate, strategize against villainy, or participate in the union meetings. Check out the FORUM link on the side for more opportunities to network with Heroes and common citizens alike!
You also might want to check out the interview with Squeegeeman from TIMEOUT NY magazine. Squeegeeman, as well as fellow Superheroes Tothian and Dark Guardian were followed by a reporter and photographer on their patrol. The magazine is supposed to hit shelves Wednesday, September 27th. Get yourselves a copy! I’m off on my patrol, so GOOD DAY CITIZENS!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

I myself am finding less and less “need” to work in my costume, even as dangerous as it can be to do what I do. For one thing, I don’t drive. Therefore looking inconspicuous comes in handy more often than not when gettin to the site. For more “high profile” fuzzy wuzzy occasions (I almost threw up when I typed that.) I have devised a secondary mask that’s a little more colorful; pics comin soon. One more of many to come >:D
 

Tothian and many other RLS are stepping up to try and help with more sophisticated communication tools and I think this is great.  I have some expereince with this and see this as a growing interest in the community.  Be that as it is, I’d like everyone interested in this to ask themselves two things.  One, who in the rls community has experience running boards or websites like this?  And two, if we are suffering from lack of experience in this, would we want some seasoned guidance?
If ‘no one’ and ‘yes’ are the overall answers to the questions above, please take the initiative and contact me.  I can and will help get something ‘real’ going.  Blitz, Tothian and others are are scrambling to make a difference here and I have some unique experience that can contribute.
Its important to say, I’m not trying to create another brand of something others have been working on.  If I could caution everyone on one thing and one thing only, it would be running off in different directions.  The last thing we need is everyone proposing something new.  I’m trying to help unify the many people who see a need.  Hopefully, a combined effort will lead us to a quality platform and a connected community.
Why even create a tool?  Don’t we have MySpace and Frappr?  First, I feel its important to create a virtual Hall of Superheroes where we control access.  I want someone (or a council of someones) to have some control over who gets to read what.  Forums are great for this as are rl chat systems like TeamSpeak.  I believe this would lead to better communication and better trust over allowing us to put things out there and ask for help without feeling like we are being watched or monitored.  If this was not already obvious, I’m sure there are least a few law enforcement folks watching the super hero movement on MySpace.
Like Tothian, I’m not so much concerned about leading this effort as much as contributing.  I can offer my significant experience in this and hopefully that can make a difference.  My experience?  I led one of the top City of Heroes portals for over a year (forums, roster, news, live chat, all that junk) and, as my secret identity, I have created and managed a business website that maintains a forum (for three years) as well as host and present at conferences (7 years).
So if you would like, coordinate through me, or if there is a solid movement, I’ll give input if invited.  I’ll gladly do whatever I can to get something ‘quality’ up and and running if this is something people want to see.
I realize not everyone in our community is a team player (and thats just fine).  We do need to unite on this, however, and get behind a process that has us coming together – not leading off in different directions.

I don’t take Law Enforcement into MY OWN HANDS, as far as bein “judge, jury, and executioner”. I just do what I can do. Therefore I ain’t sure if I really fit the dictionary definition of “Vigilante”. I think that’s more of the Guardian Angel’s category.
In the past I have fit that definition, but my new code is “stickin to the books” as much as possible. Therefore how am I a vig?
Besides fighting in self-defense almost a month ago, I haven’t “laid hands” on any “perps” whatsoever.
 

Update on the Orange County Postal Stalker.
I’m closing the case from my side. They have my suggestions and are taking back up the fight. Apperantly they had just given up and were fine with receiving stalker mail for the rest of their lives. But they were encouraged to start anew. Here is a portion of the email she sent back. To understand it more thoroughly, I was dealing through a friend of the victim.

Thank you for your help. I relayed your information to my friend who realized that she was settling for complacency because it has been so long. She is intending to use the letter you sent once she is more certain of who is targeting her. Her and her husband are more active now into taking it to higher sources to get this resolved.
So, thank you very much for your help. The insight has helped her refocus on stopping this person rather than accepting this to be her life now.
Much gratitude,
Lisa

CRASH RESCUE
From Superhero
Me and my Girl went to see Psycho Beach Party in St Pete. Halarious check it out, but anyway as we come off the 275 overpass into Clearwater and there’s a car off the road, and UPSIDE DOWN in the drainage ditch!
One other guy has stopped, and he’s standing next to the victim, a young girl who’s like 25 feet away from the wreck and up on the bank! (huh?)
she’s sitting up and I yell “Is there anybod else in the car?” just as she flop’s flat on her back, I yell to the other stopper to call 911 and jump into the ditch with a splash, and sink up to my ankles in the mud. I yell to the girl one more time “is there anybody else in the car?” no answer the car is halfway emersed in the muck , I fumble around until I find the door handle & it pops, but being in the muck, it don’t budge. All I can think about is somebody hanging upside down from there seat belt head first in the water, or worse a kid in a baby seat. Now, I’m a 215 pound knuckle dragger, I like to powerlift, not bodybuild, but still, don’t ask how I ripped that door open, it just happend.
It’s pitch black in the car and I yell “FLASHLIGHT!” just as some new guy from the bank tosses me one! (great timing!) and I’m down in the car. Nothing, no kid, no adult, nothing. Thank God, now I can concentrate on the victim. Like I said this girl was at least 25 feet from the car, a nurse pulled over (Even better timing) and all this kid had was a broken forearm!
Some other new girl crouching with me says “Girl you have been saved for a reason!” stands right the @$ up and starts PRAYING aloud to Jesus thanking him for this girls life!!! I look down on her holding her head to keep her from moving it and say “I can’t argue with the prayer kid, this is some kinda miracle! I don’t have a clue how you ended all the way up here!” The Fire dept. arrived, she could move everything (Except her fore arm) they boarded her and took off.
Every body at the scene tells me what a great job I did, which they did just as good a job as me. And I took of home to get the muck outta my nice shoes.
The fact that I saw a situation and acted instead of reacted gave me my omph back.
