Jacksonville Florida Needs A Super Hero

Jacksonville Florida Needs A Super Hero

Dear Potential Super Hero,

Jacksonville Florida is in trouble and in need of your super human powers.

Just in the last month our city appears to be taken from a scene straight out of The Dark Knight.

4 homicides on Sunday.

A brutal eye gauging on July 5th.

Cops shoot 2 men at local club.

A near riot near downtown.

Pretty scary, eh? The city is beginning to feel more dangerous than a small village in Afghanistan.

Not to mention the city has zero dollars and enough corruption to hide 5 Jimmy Hoffa's.

So where is Batman or Spiderman?

Must we turn to masked vigilantes to keep us safe and clean up the mess?

I'm not a big fan of vigilantism, but one must wonder who will save Jacksonville.

We actually have people stealing cop cars, gauging out people's eyes, trying to perform drive-bys on officers how much is enough.

Seriously, is the Joker on the loose?

If you read this and you are a super hero with superhuman powers please consider taking a trip to Jacksonville.

We need you.

Signed,
A Concerned Citizen

P.S. We have milk and cookies...

"One Comes to Save" Not for the Milk-&-Cookies, but That ...

... the saved might live life abundantly. Your 'p.s.' ought to include the fact that people will stop living and/or live in heavy fear if the 'one who comes to save' does NOT get there soon! ---Uncle MythMan & we Xombies Explain Money, Love, God etc. Work w/ Us to Find Yours! WAKE UP! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .. p.s. but milk-&-cookies are a wonderful collateral product!

Thanks so much for the welcome!

Thanks! I missed being here as well. It was way too long to stay away. I have missed reading your stuff jdub, and I sense I have a lot of reading to do to catch up on all the great stuff! :)

This sounds like a subplot of Mystery Men

Since it looks like Superman is busy, perhaps we can round up some "B" List superheroes and attack the supervillain. DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?

If I were a superhero...

The first thing I would do is come help you guys out. :) Maybe there is a purple alien superhero lurking in the night that will come save the day. That really is crazy though. Hopefully something will change for the good. P.s. I am FINALLY on here again. :) I have missed it so much! Feel like I am finally home again. :)

nothing yet

No one has answered my call... :(

What a sad state of affairs

I would consider applying but my powers are currently focused in accomplishing administrative tasks. Perhaps I could shuffle some papers in their general direction...
