Real-Life Gadgets For Real-Life Superheroes
cylonlover writes "Yes, there are real-life superheroes. And no, we're not just referring to firefighters, paramedics, and other heroic people whom we're used to seeing come to the rescue of others. We're talking about costume-wearing, identity-concealing, cool-name-having people who fight crime, pollution, or other evils in their own communities, on their own time, and at their own risk. Many of them actually patrol the city streets, ready to intervene if they see trouble brewing – and being ready includes having the right tools. Given that none of these people have Bruce Wayne's budget, Gizmag takes a look at some of the real-world gadgets they use as they go about their crime-fighting duties."
Yet it's perfectly OK to kill someone for trespass? Sounds like the kool-aid is all yours.

Judging by your xenophobic rant, I'd say they are pretty effective on the fear side of things for some people at least.
And this comment will never be modded up. People will continue to debate the merits of a completely imaginary version of Canadian law, based on right wing pro gun myths. Right wingers love Canada. They can just make up anything they like about evil socialist Canada and no one will contradict them. Apparently, many American right wingers are actually from Canada, and can describe life in Canada in authoritative terms. They will tell you all about their grandfather dying in line waiting medical for treatment and how they aren't allowed to defend themselves, because honest to god, they are really real Canadians and know all about life in Canada, which they hate because of all the socialists and peaceniks making crazy laws.

I've likely been giving this thought for longer than you've been alive. The irony of the one-liner reply dissing the use of a one-liner is lovely though.
Why not wade in with some thoughts yourself, assuming you have opinions on the issue.

They've broken into my home, and that is all I need for proof. What the hell else should I do to confirm they desire to kill/rape/attack me or my family? Ask them politely?
I bet you heroes can't wait to bag your first street urchin who sneaks in the pet door looking for food. Do you think the police will let you put his head up above the mantle ?
Experience, Motherfucker. Do you speak it?
