The Escapist's Vigilante Coalition.

[enzilewulf]

Yeah all my city has is a bunch of deep Republicans (i'm neither btw) that are white trash. I really couldn't do much except slash their tires to their trucks... that would help me not hear those god awful things every fucking night

That's actually a good idea. Except it would be stooping to their level.

Fuck the levels. They broke my window on new years. When they fired guns. So glad I go to a different school then them

See we don't have many guns here in England apart from farmers and fox hunters . But if it got to the point when they were being used in my area Batman would have to step in.

Point and case why I wanna go to england. I can deal with the neo-Nazi's.

last summer some douchebag vandalized my entire neighborhood, the next night i stayed up the whole night with my late grandfather's cane, hoping the lil punk would come back. He was caught the next day, douche was like 13. i kinda wanted to be the one that caught him...o well

I would be a detective with military training and equipment. I'd wear a trench coat and a fedora and I would kick some serious ass.

I'd be the opposite, I'd have criminal-grade training (so I could think, act and blend with the crooks as well as be prepared for any of their funny knife-games) and I'd wear fancy-looking clothing - my shoes would be black and shiny on the outside but would be built for running, jumping and fighting, my pants would be evening wear trousers (black), then I'd have a long-sleeved black-satin shirt with light body armour over the top so that it looked like I was wearing a vest. I wouldn't have a hat, just smart-looking glasses (they wouldn't alter my vision, except maybe have some night-vision functions or something). So basically I'd be a high-tech 'smooth-talker' type.

Ooh! I know! Think batman style mixed with Simon's clothing from Firefly.

 

[TheEvilJester]

I'd love to be a vigilante. Well a vigilante that could take a serious beating. I can handle running around in tights yelling out to people in need. I can't handle guns to the face.

Or be like Deadpool. Deadpool is awesome.

 

[Canid117]

Totally. I'm actually planning on being a cop when I get older so I can help the community. I live in Toronto, so if you've heard anything about the G20 summit a few weeks ago, you don't realize how much I wanted to take down the people causing damage to the city.

Then throw rocks at the Anarchist jackasses doing damage to your city. Holding up signs saying "I don't really care about the G20 I just want these Poli Science Major Pricks out of my town" while doing it will ensure internet hilarity for decades.

 

[The King of Rock and Roll]

There's actually groups of people from around the world who claim to be superheros. They have a website somewhere, but by no means should you take it seriously since everybody just laughs at them.

 

[King of the N00bs]

I considered it once...but unfortunately I have not the time nor the resources to do so, not to mention that the place that needs to fixed up is about 60 miles away

Uh, loud trucks and political ideology doesn't really sound like the kind of thing that usually leads one to think "Fuck the law, this needs the A-Team".

Well no I personally don't have a problem with trucks or political beliefs I just hate how these people act and how ignorant they are. If you so much as walk on their lawn they will want to fight you.

 

[HigherTomorrow]

I've always toyed with it, since I was a kid. But the problem is, I have a family and friends, and I'd rather be a legitimate police officer than a vigilante. If my family were to die in a fire caused by a criminal, maybe that'd be enough to push me over the edge and become a vigilante, and if I survived my next meeting with the man, I'd probably just become a police officer anyway.

EDIT: I'd probably put my basic parkour skills to the test, and use distraction methods and knockout techniques to take down enemies without a bullet being fired or a life being taken. I'd probably have a cliche name like NightWind or Blackout, considering I'd wear all black and use the night to my advantage.

 

[The Salty Vulcan]

I have actually given this thought, but then again as a writer with a love/addiction of comic books, thats kinda justified. The things that usually stop me are the funds required, the time/energy and getting away with it. If I WERE to become one though, I think my city would be safer. Drunks and drug dealers and sex fiends galore.

 

[similar.squirrel]

I'm a firm believer in the 'it really hurts to get shot' line of thinking. But I have toyed with the idea in my weaker moments.

Wow, that's pretty ridiculous. Which city in which state is this?

Picktown Ohio. Well out side of it...

 

[Anachronism]

I would be sorely tempted to, but there are a number of problems associated with it. I'd need a lot of preparation before I could actually do anything worthwhile. I'd need to:

a) Buy lots of guns (tricky in the UK).
b) Learn wushu (very difficult and time consuming) and get a long knife or a sword.
c) Find light but durable armour (difficult and expensive).

The big problem with this is that I am a raging misanthrope, and there's a quotation from Nietzsche which I think would apply to me.

He who fights monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Considering my current opinion of the human race, if I were to become a vigilante I think it would take very little to push me over the edge and start killing. And once I'd started, I'd begin to rationalise it, and I would not stop.

Now you see the problem.

 

[The DSM]

I live near Manchester, outside of the council estates so ther eisnt much trouble where I am, but in the estates there is ALOT.

 

[BGH122]

Picktown Ohio. Well out side of it...

Cheers, I'm moving to the USA once I've got my medical degree so I'll make damn sure to stay the heck away from Picktown. I don't want to just live in London 2.0.

c) Find light but durable armour (difficult and expensive).

Learn Krav Maga or Wing Chun (it's Kung Fu, but they've made it more street practical in most Wing Chun classes), they've served me much better than Wushu would have, largely because traditional kung fu, whilst insanely powerful at high levels, just require far too much training to pull off.

Penn & Teller recently made a fatuous point about martial arts in their episode on the matter (last week, iirc), that's there's qualitatively no difference between carrying a gun and using a deadly martial art. Wrong. If I carry a gun I can get arrested in the UK, but the police can't arrest me for knowing martial arts.

Manchester, UK? That's grim, sorry man.

 

[Uncreation]

Sounds awesome. I've never been stabbed or beaten before. And by that of course, i mean NO.
