Hi ya! Good to see you. Help yourself to a mug of Joe and a virtual treat or two while I tell you about a new super hero...
The residents of Beaverton, Oregon, can rest peacefully at night, knowing their streets are being patrolled by their very own real-life superhero. ‘The Guardian Shield’ has taken it upon himself to ensure the neighborhood’s safety after dark, and in true superhero fashion, the masked crusader hasn’t revealed his identity because he wants people to focus only on his mission.
“I want to be taken seriously,” he told FOX 12 Oregon. “Everything I do is legit, as much as possible. I make sure no one is breaking into cars, no one’s fighting, everyone is getting home to their families after a hard day of work.”
The Guardian Shield, or simply ‘Shield’, wears a red costume and is always armed with pepper spray, a stun gun, a baton, a flashlight, a first aid kit, a GoPro camera, and of course, a shield. He says the police are aware of his crime-fighting ways and he’s only had positive interactions with officers. They don’t encourage him to intervene in dangerous situations, but they do appreciate being tipped off when there’s trouble brewing.
I can see it now...superheroes springing up a;; over the place. Good idea? Not really unless the police are not doing their job and I doubt that...s=despite municipal budgetary restrictions.
Gotta go...we're off to the Lao Temple in a few minutes with anticipation of some great Lao/Thai food!
See ya, eh!
Bob
