At one point, we have all have wanted to be a superhero. But 21 year old Tanis Baker of Newport, Wales did it. He made himself a ninja costume and a wooden samurai sword and took to the streets, telling thugs to get going and scaring off underage drinkers and smokers from his area. He was often seen running from building to building, ally to ally, in his ninja suit ready to fight off crime. However one day a cop saw him and his sword, and called in for back up thinking it was an actual sword. Baker ran from the cops, hiding in a bush at a nearby children’s park. After being hauled in, the cops noted he was just trying to help and didn’t mean to frighten anyone. He had been bullied in school, and last year was mugged by some thugs hanging around in his neighborhood. Since then he was keen to help the police in any way possible. However, the surrounding neighbors were not so pleased that he had been patrolling the neighborhood. One neighbor commented, “He was running across it and doing roly-polys. He’s been watching too many films.”. Who calls them roly-polys? Theyre stunts. Parkour. Learn to be educated and cultured, people!

I think his neighbors are just jerks. He just wanted to help, and sometimes cops don’t or can’t get the job done. Cops have trouble getting the evidence they need legally, and if they do it illegally, the evidence is thrown out and the person may not be convicted. Im all for personal freedom, but im willing to sacrifice some to put people behind bars. For example: child pornography. Its on peoples computers, where the law cant reach it legally, and those people watching it are still out free.

He hadn’t hurt anyone; he just took alcohol off some school kids and got rid of some thugs by throwing smoke grenades at their feet. He did flee from the fuzz, but whatever. He had been doing good in the community, it makes me mad that his neighbors were making fun of him for wearing a ninja suit. I want to be a ninja, too. And anyone who makes fun of me is gonna get a round-house to the face. Chuck Norris checks under his bed at night for me. BAM.
