Dear Editor,
I have heard many people crying out against what Mayor Jack Heart says when he talks about the vigilantes of this fair city, decrying his words as blaspheme, saying that he's wrong, saying that he's foolish to think that those caped and necowled crusaders are only there to make our lives safer and easier, but I'm here to tell you that they're wrong.
As somebody who has lived in a world where these people exist in nature, I can tell you whole-heartedly that these people are insane. They put on costumes and run amok, claiming to be a boon to society, when all they're really doing is putting innocent people into hospitals, wrecking havoc on innocent cities, not caring about what happens to bystanders, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage in their wake. And for what? To bring down a small handful of petty criminals?
The likes of Batman, Superman, Black Canary, Robin, Green Arrow and their fellows take the law into their own hand. We have a police force for this reason, everyone from beat cops to the FBI - or CBI as it were, here - people who are trained to make sure that our streets are clean of the scum. Vigilantes say they're working in the name of the People, all the while breaking laws themselves.
Is a life saved still a life if your neck was broken as you were being saved?
I, for one, call for an immediate unmasking of these foolish people! Make them face the reality of what they've done without their pretty costumes to hide their shame!
Sincerely,
Joe K. Earsworthy
