Has anybody every thought about becoming a vigilante..seriously?

[WeaponZ2]

Wow, There hot.

 

[Golgo-13]

What do they have to do with the topic?

 

[WeaponZ2]

Who cares there hot.

HA! By coincedince I found out where your avatar is from. I was looking up the old Hitchhiker show and there was the same screenshot of Marvin. YAY! I MADE A CONNECTION!

Yes. My previous avatar was Marvin from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy miniseries. Of course the current one so far looks like that white Toonami Robot with a bigger head. But can you guess where my current avbatar is from? Huh? Huh?

 

[Golgo-13]

Who cares there hot.

..they're OK. I've seen hotter. I guess you don't get out much, huh?

 

[Golgo-13]

O.K now that you guys have seen Batman Begins, what do you say about the thread title?

 

[Alexia Dark]

I think that if I saw that someone was going to be beat up or mugged, then I would definitely step in and break it up. But I wouldn't go out and look for trouble.

 

[Master Chief]

I understand how someone can break up a fight, but how would someone go about breaking up a mugging?

 

[Alexia Dark]

Punch the thief in the face and give the purse back .

When I was a bit younger, more idealistic, and above all, naive, I thought that if I were ever placed in a situation where I could save a life, I would do it. Hell, just a few months ago, I did.
Now, I know better. I don't care about people enough to put my life on the line for them. And they sure wouldn't do the same for their fellow man either. But it's funny this thread was revived, because something interesting happened the other day.
A couple of days ago, I saw my neighbor from up the street. She was running and screaming for help because her boyfriend, who had recently moved in, was beating her up. I could have helped her, but I chose not to. Some people say I was right to not get involved, others said it was cold of me to not help her. So I've been wondering about it for awhile. Still don't know how I feel about the situation.

That boyfriend and girlfriend domestic fght thing is best left as you did. Alot of times you get involved and the girl ends up going back with the guy a few hours/days later, so then your efforts would have been in vain. You did the right thing. If anything, just call the cops and stay out of it, that's what law enforcement is there for anyway.

I thought about starting to take martial arts classes last fall but I never did. I think I was feeling pretty powerless in my life at the time and needed an outlet. I got super into comics that fall too and it stuck. Escapism anyone?

But no, I've never seriously thought about it. I often times try to picture them scrambling around on rooftops for the heck of it during the day and realize how cool it would be if they did exist. I've written a story about one and that seems plenty for me.

 

[Golgo-13]

You should think about taking Brazilian Ju Jitsu or Muay Thai. That's what i take. They require very little psyical stength and can be mastered by the smallest indidvidual to the largest. It was rough on my body as when you start training at anything, but once i got used to it and started getting the moves down...WOW! Now i can't get enough of it!

 

[Twitch]

you guys are nerds

Why did you join these boards.....and DUH!

 

[Phantasm]

I have. I want to be Batgirl. I know there are SO many people in he world who would benefit from vigilantism of the sort. I wanted to sign up for Karate classes but you need more than just that....

Ya'know, I've always been in the same boat. Whenever I see someone getting into trouble (like getting yelled at or escalating whatever), I usually pay more attention to it and kind of prepare myself to go help. I'm a soccer referee and had to throw myself in there to break up fights with people bigger than me. But I've never REALLY had to put myself in harms way. It would be interesting to see if I actually did what I think I would do in my head.

being a lifelong comics fan, of course this has crossed my mind the same as everyone else. for the longest time when I was growing up, pre-teens, I used to come up with all sorts of different ways and costumes to be a superhero, of course thats me being a creative little kid. I never intended to actually do any of it... mostly cause I didn't want to get shot.

it still crosses my mind every so often... if I had superpowers, would I be a superhero? maybe I'd just join the NFL, make millions of bucks. or both!

nothing short of indestructibilty or Wolverine's healing is gonna make me become a vigilante (that whole being shot thing again), so let's say I somehow came into superhuman strength and rapid healing. here's how I would go about this: I think batman is on the money with scaring criminals, though I'd do it in a way that would actually scare them. I'd make a suit, almost like a movie, that makes me look really organic and like a monster. human-like, with defined muscles and veins, jet black. either creepy looking eyes or no facial features at all. I wouldn't say a word, would stick to nighttime and the shadows, and go with the urban-legend route. in theory, this could go on for a while, as long as I could stay away from the cops, or scare them too.

Bump

Why bump if you have nothing to say? You find the topic interesting enough to knock it back up and hope people will discuss it, yet you don't have enough going on in your head to bump it by actually adding something to the discussion? Why? God I hate bumping with just "bump."

 

[ScottyBBadd]

No, not really.

 

[The Comedian]

Only if i get a sexy female sidekick

 

[DareDemon]

How anyone can stand around and not even call the cops when a boyfriend is beating a girlfriend disgusts me. What is wrong with people?

 

[Carter]

Not this again....

 

[Man-Thing]

On the subject of the thread...

I've thought it would be kinda neat to do what they do on dateline NBC (you know with the luring in of pedophiles into homes, and then confronting them?). Instead of confronting them with a microphone though, I would blow their brains out with a shotgun.

I would do just what they do on there too, have them come in naked, so there is no chance of it just being an accident.

I've just entertained the idea though, I'm not gonna go through with it.
