The Wall Street Journal has recently come out with an article about a few real life\u00a0superheroes\u00a0disagreeing. \u00a0It was actually on the front page.\u00a0\u00a0I believe it \u00a0is a pathetic article coming from the Wall Street Journal. The Journal is know for being an elite source of media and they stooped to the level of printing essentially a gossip column about real life\u00a0superheroes.
\nThe writer spoke to several real life\u00a0superheroes and heard about some of the amazing work they do and even after continued to write a trash story. \u00a0The story focused on some minor disagreements between a few people in a much larger culture. \u00a0In any community or culture there are always people who disagree about things and the real life superhero community is no different. \u00a0It is really not a big deal and most certainly doesn’t warrant a news article, especially in the Wall Street\u00a0Journal\u00a0of all places.
\nThe real story about real life superheroes is the work they do. \u00a0There is an amazing and inspirational story to be told which\u00a0unfortunately\u00a0was not. \u00a0People are\u00a0going\u00a0out on their own free time, spending money out of pocket, putting tons of effort in to going out to help others, put their lives on the line fighting crime, finding wrong to right, and making their communities & the world around them a better place.
\nThere were many\u00a0mis-characterizations\u00a0about rlsh. \u00a0Phoenix Jones fed into it. \u00a0He is very unhappy about the way his words were used. \u00a0The reporter spent lots of time with him and cherry picked quotes and lead him into saying certain things.
\nReal Life Superheroes do all types of\u00a0activities\u00a0which the writer knew about, but decided to follow the slant of rlsh’s feed the homeless and do charity work while Phoenix Jones does hardcore crime-fighting. \u00a0He was trying to further create division and drama.
\nFact is the real life\u00a0superhero movement has been around since the 1970’s. \u00a0Many have stopped violent crime and many specifically work to combat violent crime. Real life\u00a0superheroes have been risking their lives to help protect others, they have been in serious danger, injured, threatened, and so on, all to protect and help others. \u00a0Not all real life\u00a0superheroes fight crime, some focus on homeless outreach, community service, and\u00a0environmental\u00a0issues. One must remember being a real life superhero is about making positive change in your community and not\u00a0necessarily\u00a0about being a tough guy and\u00a0fighting\u00a0crime.
\nThis is a movement working to bring good deeds, community action, public and social awareness to problems, and create a better and brighter society.
\nThe media can slant things the way they want,\u00a0over-dramatize\u00a0things, and try to create division, but they will not divide this culture because we are all united in working towards a better brighter tomorrow.
