Darkness has descended onto the streets of Great Britain. And in this darkness the streets that house it’s citizens and people go to work have plunged into a chaos where the lawless rule, striking fear into the most vulnerable.
Who will stop these criminals from rioting, looting, terrorising communities and burning down people’s places of work and homes? A constrained and lacklustre police force that on their own simply cannot cope with the volume and expansion of the spreading violence? Whitehall, with the politicians who are responsible for marginalising those that have chosen to walk on the dark side?
Or, perhaps, it could be you. It could be me. It could be all of us!
In neighbourhoods across London and the latest cities to be subject to this crime, people are uniting in the cause to defend their communities from these thugs. But the answer is not just in picking up arms to protect ourselves from harm, theft and vandalism. It is the duty of friends, parents, siblings and other relatives to appeal to the human side which exists in all those that chose to take up crime.
And from us all there may emerge superheroes. Masked vigilantes, who will use powers of reasoning & persuasion, or simply frighten the shit out hooded thugs, that they might be deterred from evil. Dark knights, like the ones you will read about in this post, who will once again let us see the light.
1. Motor Mouth
As Motor Mouth’s name suggests, he is all talk, but he has “all the action to back it up”.
When riots broke out in Oakland, following the conviction of involuntary man slaughter of a police man (a case tinged with racial overtones), Motor Mouth organised himself and other local Real Life Heroes into action.
“We went to Oakland, we defended its businesses, we protected its people, and were bold in what we did. The Bay is our home, and we stood our ground and stood up for it.”
I don’t know about you, but if this guy was to tap me on the shoulder for a word in the street, he’d have my ears. Our cities are in need of people like Motor Mouth to talk youth out of crime.
2. Urban Avenger
Urban Avenger is a man who likes to be in the thick of it: “even when I’m not in my costume as a visual deterrent for crime, if I see something going down, I will act. Anytime, anywhere.”
His attire, not that far removed from that of our hooded hooligans might allow him to infiltrate their organised ranks and persuade some of them to lay down their baseball bats and petrol bombs.
Are you part of a group who is involved in rioting or looting and don’t feel right about it? Do what you can to make your peers see sense!
3. Samaritan
Samaritan is a Real Life Superhero living and working in New York City, where he does all kinds of outreach work involving the elderly, children and youth groups amongst others.
“For me, these acts of kindness are the province of heroes. Being a hero for me is a battle with my human nature—to put others ahead of myself. It’s a constant struggle that I know I haven’t quite mastered, but I know that when you stop trying, that’s when you lose sight of what you’re about,”
Sometimes confronting confrontational people can be the worst tactic. If you come across the disaffected youth who have been involved in crime, try killing them with kindness, it might help to disarm them and eventually see that there are people who care about them.
4. Soundwave and Jetstorm
Soundwave and Jetstorm are not allowed to patrol the streets without an adult accompanying them, or after their bed time, but that does not mean they can’t put their superpowers to good use, which they do in their charity and outreach work.
“If you can walk, you can help somebody out,” said Soundwave… and “Anyone can do it. Except babies, of course”, agrees Jetstorm.
If these two were to confront you as you are about to loot your local Curry’s, would it not make you think twice about what your little brothers or sisters, who so looks up to you would think about your actions?
5. Death’s Head Moth
Death’s Head Moth splits his time between confronting violent criminals in the street and doing outreach work.
“There is no sanction for evil. And the one weapon necessary to defend against it, is justice.”
I sincerely hope he removes the mask before visiting sick children in hospitals… Not the kind a guy I would like jumping out on me in a dark alley, which will serve him well in confronting criminals…
In this situation it might remind some recreational rioters that they are just scared children looking for attention.
6. Mr Xtreme
He may look like a cop gone sticker crazy on his riot gear, but Mr Xtreme is a real life Super Hero who himself has been a victim of crime and has seen some terrible things in his life.
“I wanted to do something positive, heroic and also as a way of protest against indifference in society. People are being victimized, and I feel that someone has to take a stand. Someone has to stand up and put a stop to it.”
Like Mr Xtreme, as well as standing up against crime, why not try to help those that turn to crime because they feel they have nothing, by campaigning on their behalf for things like more jobs in the local area and government funding for youth centers and clubs to keep them out of trouble?
7. Nyx
And this one may look like she belongs in street corners, which of course Nyx does frequent, but as a Real Life Super Hero active in the New York City and New Jersey areas where she mostly does outreach work for the homeless.
The best quote of her I could find is a bit more obscure than the rest:
“Like the night, I cannot be proven or disproven to certain degrees; and also much like the night, when morning comes, there will be no trace of me.”
Now, I’m not quite sure what that means, other than you’re not likely to see her during the day and that that may or may not be proven to be right, but what I am sure about is that Nyx has a couple of assets that may well help distract young men from crime.
Ladies… do what you can to help the needy in your communities… and show young men who might otherwise be involved in crime that there is much more comfort to be had in a warm, loving bosom.
