TEXT. 100% ANON.

[askedtobe]

[ 100% fully anonymous ]

Name: Unnecessary
Occupation: Mob Boss
Business: Racketeering (namely money laundering), working with the MFPD
Residence: Maurtia Falls
Murders associated with: Total # unknown, but 6+
Status: Dead as of 7th

I can't exactly say why I found myself in front of this man over a week ago. It wasn't planned to any concrete extent, and yet my intentions were decided upon before I even arrived in Maurtia Falls. While I continue to struggle with my feelings towards those who commit crime without abandon, and towards those who show no inclination to change, I can't help but think there's only one true thing that can be done about it. Which was exacted by my hand without a second thought and no real lingering guilt - at the time

From here on out, it would only be done with far more reserve - pause, if you will - and yet no less reason. Simply put, I cannot and will not guarantee i'll be looking to save those who have done others significant harm.

I'm fully aware that a known vigilante group is out to help others as well - outside of the government - and both its function and initiative is in no way focused on the end goal of annihilation. Otherwise they might be simply considered murderers, causing more harm than good. One mobster's death may not cause so great a tumble in the mob's structure as to result in further problems in MF, but it will shake the foundation into necessary light and bring out those that once remained where they could not be seen. It will make it that much easier to spot who is willing to cause more trouble, and how they might go about doing it.

While i'm not encouraging, to the deepest extent, to kill others haphazardly, I still believe that there are more permanent ways to handle problems that we all face here. Permanent being the key word. Some people should simply not be allowed to walk freely and should be stopped before they're capable of enjoying another day under their horrifying command.

For those who choose to comment on what the government might have to say, they've already spoken their feelings on the matter. The flood gates have opened, there's no longer any way of saying they'll close.


[ ooc note; OKAY SO. Feel free to respond to this post as you will. It's more of a commentary from 'anon' regarding the aftermath of Famine and about his feeeeelings. But, most importantly, he miiight not be responding to commentary. HOWEVER, the Archangel people he'll be... at least more likely to talk to. No promises on that regard, but he mostly wants Archangel folks to know that he's talking to ya'll more than anyone else.

That's all; have at! ]

You mean they have spoken their feelings on the matter of you?

[askedtobe]

To us as a whole. With regards to capturing vigilantes.

[steeletto]

Considerate of you to hand them a poster child.

[runningstart]

you are so full of it

so youre encouraging people to kill other people CAUTIOUSLY instead of haphazardly because that way a problem gets fixed PERMANENTLY is that it

because thats still murder and im pretty sure that counts as premeditated in most courts

text - anon forevah!

[askedtobe]

[ pretty much. ]

Still better than murdering people for kicks. [ that was... mild sarcasm. BUT STILL. ]

permatext

[runningstart]

oh yeah and i hitting someone with a bat is better than running them over with a car but you stiLL SHOULDNT DO EITHER

[ He wasn't going to respond to this in the first place, but then he got suspicious, because one of the mobster's that he's tagged as useful, possibly a key to getting him inside the larger family network in Maurtia Falls has recently disappeared, and hasn't shown up at any of the courts.

Could this be the one who took him out of circulation? And if so, does this guy, in turn, need to be stopped?

First, Bruce has to identify the culprit, and make sure that he hasn't judged him in error. There's all kinds of reasons why a murderous mobster might disappear that has absolutely nothing to do with Operation Archangel. He has to engage to find out more.

He's going to try and hack the anonymous filter, but God, if he ever finds out that it's Peter... /fistshake ]

Murder is murder. Killing a man for killing a man still puts blood on your hands.

[ Isn't it funny though, that you taught him how to do all this? Funny as in totally unkind (to Batman), but it's not like Peter's got much of a clue as to how to go about this vigilante business. Especially when he spent so long distancing himself from.... well, from Adam.

And Adam was never anonymous.

Which is at least one reason why he is, apart from not wanting to be identified by the government quite yet. He rather likes not being in the middle of a complete shitfest. ]

And what if you've already passed that point?

[chiroptophobic]

[ Good intentions killed the big bad bat. ]

The street doesn't go in one direction only. Redemption is possible for almost everyone; but they have to want it.

[rathercommon]

So...Was he able to fight back against you?

[askedtobe]

He didn't just sit there.

[rathercommon]

That's not what I'm asking, is it. I'm asking whether he stood any bloody chance against you.

"When he reached Lehi, and the Philistines come shouting to meet him, the spirit of the Lord came upon him: the ropes around his arms become as flax that is consumed by fire and the bonds melted away from his hands. Near him was the fresh jawbone of an ass; he reached out, grabbed it, and with it killed a thousand men."

So you killed one guy. Good job.

[ SIGH. ]

I'll remember to only be a braggart when I get up the billions.

[angelfire]

Well, you're not doing God's work. What you really need to start hitting those quotas is divine backing, you know?

[ Now this is something. Someone actually taking a mob boss out. Glitch has carried that secret thought in his head away from everyone else. What if they just took out the worst of the worse in The Falls? Wouldn't that help fix things? Sure someone would rise to power but, maybe they could decide who? Mainipulate the system of crime to make it work for them, change it so these crime people are actually helping out like kids with diseases or some sort of noble thing.

But, that's a dangerous thought. He knows it. He's not quite sure how he feels on the whole killing bit, since while he's okay with the idea of some people needing to just die, Glitch isn't quite sure he could pull the metaphorical trigger.

So, he plays it safe. ]

You know, you're not helping the group by doing this. Doubt anyone's going to be happy when they find out what you did.

Never said I was part of the group.

And people still wonder why the government doesn't just love vigilantism.

Do you think this will help? Or are you just trying to make a point?

text; oh u crazy kids

[askedtobe]

More of a point.

[whathawksdo]

[ Oh good, an anonymous user on their filter. Just what they needed. ]

And here I thought proving the government right for cracking down was the exact OPPOSTIE of the big goals here.

[askedtobe]

[ He's a pain in the ass, he knows. ]

They would've found a way to be proven right no matter what.

I think you need to turn yourself in to the proper authorities, son. Failing that, come to a member of this organization and we'll see you have proper legal representation.

[ He's not going to go into his feelings on the matter; his frustration is carefully packed away, because he can already tell it will do no good here. ]

[askedtobe]

Which proper authorities are those?

[infomodder]

Doing bad things to bad people can make the one who does those things feel good, it's true.
But how do you expect to permanently stop among the imPorts when it's been shown we might come back?
Unless you're talking about simply slaughtering people who have no abilities to rival what the Porter grants. That comes very close to taking over with a different sort of horrifying command.

[askedtobe]

How is it any different from shooting someone?
