Biggest mission ever, Biggest team , Biggest load of supplies. But a near snag almost ended it.

.. And so this marks the start of what I hope to be a usefull and valuable blog for the people who so choose to bless me with its readership.
A big thanks to Zeataman and Dark Guardian for giving me this blog to post in.
That said, I may not post as much as some; I want to strive for quality over quantity. Nothing is worse then a blog with a millions posts, but nothing useful or interesting to read. At the moment, I just need to figure out how to customize this thing.
 

From Motor Mouth:
For those of you in California, Arizona, & Nevada, I have a surprise for you…
I’m holding an RLSH Workshop, BBQ, & patrol on Saturday, the 28th of August.
– Mega-Rad is going over information gathering techniques.
– Med-X is going over medical first responder training.
– Kingsnake is going over teaching body rolls and anti-gun defenses.
– Motor-Mouth (oh, that’s ME!) is going over public relations & dealings with the police.
A BBQ will coincide with this and later in the evening, everyone present will uniform up and hit the streets of San Francisco for a handout then a patrol.
Anyone that wants particulars (as in the address it’s gonna be at) can just hit me up privately on here.
Also, if you’re coming from out of town, no worries for a hotel/motel room. I can’t promise you a bed but I can offer couch or floor space for sure.
Hope to see some of you beyond my local team there!
– MM

Allarme sicurezza? C’è chi si organizza per fare le ronde, chi propone leggi più severe e chi si traveste da supereroe come nei fumetti per combattere il crimine. Tutto questo può sembrare uno scherzo, ma non lo è. Infatti a Napoli c’è davvero qualcuno che indossa un costume da supereroe e si propone di difendere la gente. Costui si fa chiamare Entomo, ha 31 anni e nessuno sa chi sia. Da due anni pattuglia le strade della città partenopea, mascherato come un supereroe dei fumetti. Non spara, non picchia, ma segnala ciò che vede alla polizia.
Il suo costume è di color verde chiaro con le maniche scure, indossa pantaloni neri e stivali marroni, non ha nessun mantello e si nasconde sotto un cappuccio neroverde. Il suo nome, Entomo, significa insetto.
Restando come i Batman e i Superman rigorosamente coperto dall’anonimato, il giustiziere in maschera napoletano chiarisce subito di appartenere alla “schiera scelta dei Supereroi”, una specie di Rotary della sicurezza che esiste davvero.
Ma cosa fà materialmente Entomo? “Io pattuglio le strade della città – spiega – di giorno e di notte. Non sono un vigilante, non mi sostituisco alla legge. Io fermo i piccoli crimini che so di poter riuscire a bloccare, altrimenti avverto anonimamente la polizia”. Il supereroe napoletano ha anche una pagina, “MySpace”, da dove lancia i suoi appelli. “Essere un supereroe è il gesto più importante che si possa realizzare in un mondo arretrato come il nostro. Utilizzo le mie capacità salvando quel che resta da salvare e distruggendo quel che non rientra nel grande schema dell’equilibrio”.
Ma Entomo non è il solo, infatti in tutto il mondo sono circa duecento i così detti “Real Life Superhero”. Questi signori vestono come gli eroi dei fumetti, aderiscono a regole severissime e hanno anche un capo che si fa chiamare “Super Barrio Gomez” .

I managed to get a long-standing crackhouse (that was “doing GOOD business” I might add) shut down after trying for about a two months. Usually I’m faster than that. It’s now boarded up and being watched for a while by the local Task Force AND neighbors.
Might not sound like much, but my “secret identity” had to do a lot of work, and take a lot of risks to get this done, and location had been a “nice” lil link in a chain for the gang running it. At least this chapter of the gang. I can’t really give out any more details, but have a drink for me >:D
