![]() Shadow Hare is the one on the Left. Caped superhero vows to clean up crime in Cincinnati The mysterious masked man is only 5ft 7 ins and weighs about 10 stone but is armed with handcuffs, a Taser and pepper spray, which can be legally carried in the city. It is known that he is 21 and comes from Milford, a town in Ohio. He claims to have been abused as a child and grew up in a succession of foster homes. "My message to Cincinnati is that there is still hope and all we have to do is stand together," he said. He and other members of a group called the Allegiance of Heroes have pledged to make citizens' arrests and intervene in crimes. Predictably, the local police are not taking the Allegiance too seriously, even after four members were recently filmed helping the homeless around the city. Evidence of Shadow Hare's anti-crime efforts have yet to surface although he said he dislocated his shoulder while trying to help a woman who was being attacked two years ago. He said he is currently working with a San Diego-based superhero called Mr Extreme to "track down a rapist". Other members include Wall Creeper from Colorado and Aclyptico from Pennsylvania. Shadow Hare is by no means the first American citizen to take to extremes the country's fascination with comic book superheroes. Others also dress up in the regulation tights and underwear worn over outwear, but their do-gooding activities rarely extend to actual crime-fighting. A group called Superheroes Anonymous includes Red Justice, a New York teacher who encourages young people to give up their subway seats to others, a litter-collecting woman in white cape and yellow gloves called The Cleanser, and The Super, who rescues victims of bad plumbing wearing green tights and a red cape. Shadow Hare has written on his MySpace blog – all superheroes have a blog – that "criminals and corrupt people will run out of places to hide" now that his group has formed. Shadow Hare is my Hero!

I have been to Nigeria many times on business and I find your stereotypes almost as offensive as your avatar. Perhaps you should join a wine tasting club to disabuse you of your angry disposition. All in all, I expect you will pay $200k in damages, 80% of it to Apple, 10% to the woman so senselessly mauled by that panda, and 10% to me for being a good citizen and reporting your online debauchery. Good day sir.

Were they 48" pizzas?
Hostage released for pizza An Australian prison guard held hostage for two days was released after a ransom demand for pizzas was met. Up to 20 inmates at the Risdon Prison in Hobart, Tasmania, seized the guard in a protest over conditions in the maximum security jail. Initially they made 24 demands to authorities, but eventually gave up their hostage after agreeing to 15 pizzas, Coke and garlic bread instead. "At midnight, the final sticking point with the inmates was that they were requiring pizzas to be delivered. Our staff member was negotiated out with the delivery of 15 pizzas," Graeme Barber, Tasmania's director of prisons, told The Advocate newspaper. The guard is recovering from his ordeal at home. |

Yeah, here's to making 24 demand and finally settling for a few pizzas. The hostage negotiator deserves some kudos. I can almost hear the behind the scenes discussions. WE CAN NOT AND WILL not negotiate with prisoners. It makes us look weak, puts our guards at greater risk and would make for a more hostile environment. Oh wait, They'll settle for a few pizzas, I guess we can handle that.

Moron...
How not to rob a bank Don't leave your wallet at the scene, m'kay? Albert Vincent Perkins, 39, of Kansas City, allegedly walked into the First Federal Bank at 4227 Blue Ridge Blvd. around 9 a.m. yesterday, May 7. He placed a checking brochure and a wallet on the counter, gave the teller a plastic bag, and told her to give him all the $100 bills in her drawer. He left with $3,129. The teller told law enforcement agents that Perkins seemed agitated and nervous -- so much so that he left his wallet sitting on her counter. Both the bank teller and a customer who was in the bank identified Perkins' photo on his driver's license as the bank robber. |

Yeah... I had similar thoughts
![]() And yet another moron... Cops: Alleged liquor thief fills out raffle ticket May 11, 4:49 PM (ET) HARTFORD, Wis. (AP) - An alleged shoplifter with a bottle of whiskey in his pants decided to take one more gamble before leaving a Washington County liquor store: filling out a raffle ticket. But the gamble led police right to him. The man was charged Thursday with misdemeanor retail theft, resisting an officer and disorderly conduct. After filling out the raffle ticket to win a ticket to a Slinger Speedway race, the 20-year-old also allegedly snatched two more whiskey bottles before he fled B&S Liquor in Hartford. Owner Steve Jost said the store clerk saw the suspect fill out the ticket and wasn't going to chase him. The ticket box had been emptied the previous day, so the clerk opened the box after calling police. |
