Police are pissed at Batman

Some doofus dressed as Batman interfered at a crime scene.

You can't make this stuff up.

I thought the thread was in reference to our SportsJournalists.com member Batman.

Carry on.

 

This is a story that screams for a mug shot.

 

I figured they got Batman for his prostitutes avatar.

 

Me too. Thought I might have to go on the lam. That we won't ought to make the wife happy, even if it means we're not going on vacation.

 

My question is, why he dressed up as the Dark knight or Adam West era Batman?

 

Actually, more like the 1940s movie serial version, complete with sweaty pits.

 

Wow. That is Adam West-era Batman. All we need is the "POW!" "BAM!" for it to be complete.

 

Wolv, I just like how a story coming out of Petoskey is in the "Metro" section of the Detroit News.

 

It's a weekend suburb. Close enough.

 

Two points:

1) Wouldn't this guy in the tights in Michigan be more suited for Seattle (Isn't there some supposed do-gooding group up there who dress in costume)?

and

2) In this day and age, shouldn't we just throw a net over this caped crusader and throw away the key (One more nutjob running loose, ladies & gents -- let's give the guy a big hand......).

 

Not just in Seattle. There's a nationwide community of folks who dress up and do things like safety patrols, charity work, neighborhood watch, etc. To their credit, they stress working with law enforcement and calling the cops to deal with most situations instead of taking on gangs of armed thugs and storming crack houses.
