Since I work at a Public School and am attending a college football game Saturday I won't be wearing any big steel till next week!
I 'm just an Ole Sinner saved by Grace and Smith & Wesson.

During Harvey he has organizing and been working with some other cosplayers at GRB, distributing toys to children and taking pictures with them, trying to cheer them up and lift everybody's spirits. So yeah, he's a real superhero in my book.The real super heroes, have better things to do in Houston. They are helping people. JMHO
Maybe that should have been included with the original photo. As it was, with the caption posted, he doesn't come off as a hero. Since I now know "the rest of the story" I will retract my criticism.

Re: what knife are you carrying on friday?
I hardly think a picture of a cosplayer riding a bike and fully exercising his second amendment rights deserved any criticism whatsoever - it did just so happen that the person doing it in this case is a really great guy and a well known local hero. His portrayal of Deadpool has been delighting folks young and old all over Houston for quite a while, even before Harvey. Perhaps this can be a little object lesson for you about being too quick to criticize and judging someone solely on their appearance?with the caption posted, he doesn't come off as a hero

Re: what knife are you carrying on friday?
It had nothing to do with his appearance, or someone excercising their rights, had you not posted, that he was driving around Houston, for the purpose of celebrating OC, and repeal of knife laws, I would not have given it a second thought. My issue was that with everything going on in Houston, it seemed a little self serving. For those of us who don't live in the Houston area, we are not familiar with this particular person, perhaps more info regarding this person initially, would have prevented any misunderstanding.RSX11 wrote:I hardly think a picture of a cosplayer riding a bike and fully exercising his second amendment rights deserved any criticism whatsoever - it did just so happen that the person doing it in this case is a really great guy and a well known local hero.

Re: what knife are you carrying on friday?
Have to agree with Jusme. I found the picture and caption posted by RSX11 to be almost an invitation to contraversy. If it wasn't intended to be misleading, it was certainly not an example of clarity.Jusme wrote:It had nothing to do with his appearance, or someone excercising their rights, had you not posted, that he was driving around Houston, for the purpose of celebrating OC, and repeal of knife laws, I would not have given it a second thought.

For me it will be a Gerber Covert or an Openil #8.
