Is being a costumed Vigilante feasable?

[Last Jackdaw]

Its a trope but have you ever put any thought into what it would take to really become a vigilante?

In the times we are entering into i feel like state curated justice is going to be farther and farther out of reach of the common person.

Out groups especially will find them selves on the short end of equity and outcomes.

What would it take to have a reasonable lifetime as a vigilante extracting extra judicial justice?

My notion is at least a year before getting caught or killed. Enough time to inspire others to replicate or exceed you?

I think we should abolish the police and rely exclusively on costumed vigilantes.

What evidence do you have for this statement?

no. the thought of this itself isn't justice. batman isn't a story about justice, its a story about revenge.

you can't apply justice equally if you're personally emotionally invested in the matter.

if you have a lot of complaints about the justice practices in your area, you should work to change them, or find a country that suits your point of view better.

A lawyer-themed superhero would be funny.

The real villains of the world do dress like lawyers.

5 years of extraordinary training all over the world would certainly help.

Being a vigilante is illegal for a reason. We have a process to make sure innocent people aren't punished. Vigilantes do not have a process.

If you don't like what someone is doing legally, do something about it legally. If you feel like you can't, do better.

In the US, at least, there's plenty of opportunity for people to do things legally. It's purposefully slow to prevent rash decisions, but it's still possible.

Naive much?

Now that more drugs are legal, it'll probably work out better this time.

(I need to check when Phoenix Jones gets out of jail...)
((Good news! He was released on Jan 11th!))

Phoenix Jones did pretty well until he was busted for selling drugs.

I was gonna say, he pretty much ruined the real life superhero schtick for everyone and their dog.

You can be whatever you want, but you will suffer the consequences.

Unless you're a cop, then you're above the law.

There's a reason we don't see Batman and Robin in real life, and it's not just because wealthy people don't actually play hero, and superpowers don't exist.

Your desire for a costume is in direct contradiction with your other stated objective that this character you're asking about would have. If you like costumes so much, maybe just become a cosplayer instead of trying to play real life Batman.

sorry nope in real life you going to be killed, because normal people are not incompetent like in movie and anime, they not miss you with their gun and they not go 1 vs 1 like in movie, they will dogpile you and use their outnumber to jump on you, also they will learn from you and prepare ambush against you

But what if you got bulletproof armor and automatic weapons?
I mean, it's not like you need to play the hero and "merely" break every bone in their body with cqc which they'll totally survive.
