How many lives must be lost? How many billions of dollars will the people of Gotham be forced to dole out in property reconstruction while these unelected, unlicensed, un<em>wanted</em> vigilantes tear up our streets and assault our people?<br/><br/>This so-called "Justice League" is a mockery of all our civil liberties! It is an organisation accountable to no one with power only checked from within. What's to stop them from tapping our phones? From searching us and seizing our belongings? From assaulting us "in the name of justice?" If they cannot be fired or detained, they cannot be held accountable for their actions and therefore have no reason to respect the constitutional rights afforded to us.<br/><br/>And just <em>who's</em> justice are they defending?<br/><br/>Police uphold the law. They've sworn to keep the peace, and they have a system of checks and balances to keep corruption to a minimum. They are supposedly our best, noblest, finest citizens, and yet they still face widespread corruption and criminal activity within their own ranks! Imagine the devastation Superman could bring in just fifteen minutes if he so wished. It would make a nuclear bomb look like a firecracker.<br/><br/>The destruction left in the wake of this most recent terrorist attack—fielded by the criminals known as Gorilla Grodd, Killer Croc and King Shark—is just <em>one</em> example of the kind of trouble putting these kinds of vigilantes in the spotlight provokes. Killer Croc, whom I happen to know personally, is mentally unstable and fixated on destroying the Batman. The two of them alone nearly managed to topple an entire tenement complex right over the heads of its residents! Did Batman show respect for the fact that Killer Croc is mentally ill? No, he mercilessly <em>beat him down</em>, then <em>kidnapped him</em> and brought him to an <em>undisclosed location that the government cannot reach.</em> I ask you: does this this sound like the actions of a hero?<br/><br/>Any group that takes the law into their own hands is a menace. If you ask me, this "Justice League" is no more than a vigilante cult; it should be officially classified as a terrorist organization and stamped out before it causes any further damage!<br/><br/>-Edward Nygma</div><hr/><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Wonder(ful) Woman</span></span></strong><br/>I was down on the ground during the attack, and I saw firsthand how Wonder Woman trounced King Shark and the big ape almost single-handedly. There was some lanky pretty-boy speakin' gibberish there, too, but you should have seen that girl at work! I've been in law enforcement for twelve years, and I've never seen a woman fight like that.<br/><br/>Wonder Woman, if you're reading this, gimmie a call.<br/><br/>-Agt.

The dinners will be hosted at stations 14, 35, 51, and 61. Price for admission is $10 for adults, $8 for children under twelve years old. Donations will be accepted and appreciated.<br/><br/>Over fifty firefighters, EMS providers and Law Enfocement Officers were injured in this tragic event. All together, their hospital bills total in the millions, but that's nothing compared to the mental anguish and emotional toll that these villains have impacted these responders and their families with. Together, we can help them start the healing process.<br/><br/>-Battalion Chief Arthur Douglass, Gotham Fire Department<br/></div><hr/><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><strong>Attention!</strong></span></span><br/>If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma, you may to be entitled to financial compensation.

I saw them on GNN, and they were in pretty rough shape.<br/><br/>Robin saved me from a mugger when I was just a freshman at Gotham U a few years ago; he never asked for anything in return. For all we know, he could be some poor schlub like us. He might not be able to afford any extra medical expenses, so I'd really like to help him out. I think we all should, really.<br/><br/>-Emily Vale<br/></div><hr/></div>
