Some cheap kevlar level IIa armor

Shadow Wolf — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:51:09 GMT

If you guys look on this website, cheaperthandirt.com you can find this vest called the "flaktarn" flak vest or something like that, it has kevlar inserts rated up to IIa protection, and you can throw some thick metal sheeting or something for blade protection. Just an idea. Or you can just pull out the inserts and use them for something else. Oh and did I mention it is only 50 dollars????

RLSH Movement Promotion Initiative During Kickass Opening Weekend

DrTomorrow — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:57:38 GMT

I have a question during the opening weekend of the movie Kickass: Is anyone in the rlsh community going or planning to do anykind of news interviews to promote the RLSH cause or pass around flyers/answering questions outside of movie theaters playing the Kickass movie on opening weekend? We have to be foolish to pass up this opportunity to bring some legitimacy to the RLSH movement and to show people that are not even aware of our movement that this in not just in a movie, but that it is ...

Hiatus

Dark Guardian — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:07:15 GMT

I just wanted to let everyone know I will be taking a short hiatus. I will not be on here.
I will be focusing on myself; taking somewhat of a "personal journey". I will be doing lots of training, planning, personal development, focusing on my job, working on my personal life, spending time with family, etc.

I will be back, so don't get worried and I won't be gone for too long.

So begins the Detective's path

ChaosDetective — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:59:35 GMT

First off I will get a few things off my chest. It's an honor to be allowed in a forum with so many people who want to do good in this world. I was beginning to lose hope for a while. Will I agree with everyone's views here? Most likely not but I won't insult anyone here either as they feel they are trying to do good. Ah so with that out of the way maybe I should try and introduce myself. You may call me Chaos, Chaos Detective, or CD. You see I tend to have a knack of seeing things out ...

Relaunching

NN — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:15:42 GMT

Well, i had a few of successes (not to mention my ass kicked one time heheh) but i know i can do more good than i did. I will try to come up with a new uniform, since the last one was cheap, scary and i scared a child last time i went to the docks hehe, poor boy. Anyway, i ll try to take a photo or two because i dont want Entomo to think that i am a wannabe (i dont think he thinks that XD its just that i really admire him). Besides, it used to be a group dedicated to Paranormal activities, ...

The Mandolin

TheMandolin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:42:15 GMT

G'day everyone, First thing is first - I do not consider myself a "hero" or "super hero" or what not, and even if I did go out and do a lot of good deeds, I'm not sure I would even call myself one then. I am mainly here to observe and learn about this community, as I find it quite interesting - as well as contribute in anyway I can. However, that does bring me to the question of whether or not I have done anything that would deem me to be of similar rank to many of you, ...

AMBER ALERT: GRAND RAPIDS, MI

the visitor — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 06:23:48 GMT

This is coming a bit late actually. The amber alert was issued wed. and it was announced today that the were surching for her body at the trash dump of all places. It was the moms boyfreind that did it. Apparently the 2 yr old girl died in the home and this douchbag just dumped her in a trash bin a couple of doors down. I know that stuff like this happens and I see sories about people being muged or killed all the time but every time I read something like this it makes me sick to be human. I ...

The Blur

The Blur — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 08:51:22 GMT

Good morning everyone, Until I stumbled upon your website I had began to feel that the majority of the time things were just out of our control and that people that committed crimes, however petty or serious, often escaped justice through various reasons; whether it be a lack of police resources, a lack of police manpower (or womanpower for that matter), arriving at the scene of the crime too late, or even if its simply down to “bad luck”. But seeing the many different forms of work that ...

Surplus Army Blankets & Stuff

Silver Sentinel — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:00:34 GMT

One of the problems we ran across at the NE Meet Up was that we couldn't find a local store that had the items we needed to hand out to the homeless. And when we did find items, they weren't of as good a quality as we would have hoped, and were overpriced for what they were. So I decided to look into being able to buy better supplies to do better hand out missions. If you have a link to something quality and reasonably priced, please post it here. The more items we have access to, the better ...

Costume help please??

Renegade — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:43:01 GMT

Hey everyone I'm new to the site, I've gone through tons of concepts for my costume and have come to a conclusion of what i want. I was wondering if anyone could suggest any ways of making this costume. What fabrics? What could be added in terms of protection? Opinions? Comments? Any help is appreciated. I do know how to sew (though I'm not to good). http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/ee293/donaldthe3rd/?action=view¤t=9-3.jpg

How is RLSH space doing?

Zetaman — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 23:11:42 GMT

Hey all, please let me know about your experience on RLSHspace.com. This comming year I will be focusing my attention on that component. I added a few widgets and games on it. Also, I am transferring all my blogs there. I've been only allowing RLSH and not civilians (with a few exceptions like Tea). Also, I do recommend that patrol blogs to be posted there. It's like MySpace where you do have control on who reads your blogs.

The problem with being rural/2 bodies found by highwy

Atavistik — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 06:42:38 GMT

so, it just came to my attention that the bodies of a man and woman were foung in the bottom of a gully/ravine off the side of the highway outside of Lower Lake. apparently they had been there for several weeks. the cause of death is apparently suspicious(ya'think?) and autopsies are scheduled early this week. this was within 30 miles of home, but in a region of the county we don't often frequent. the surrounding area is nowhere near suburban, as is evidenced by the amount of time they'd sat ...

My FIRST Custom JLU! Adam West Batman!

Superhero — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:56:58 GMT

Awhile back everyone on the 66 batman message board was showing off their beautiful Custom Adam West Batman figures & I noticed nobody has a JLU style Adam West Batman. I love JLU's & have a ton of Custom ones so I decided to put my money where my mouth was. What he started out as: Then POW! Adam West!: A dab of Purple into your Bat-blue & Bat-Grey gets them dead on. I took the buckle decal from the Bat resources & shrunk it, & bronzed it in photobucket. I ...

Chicago- RLSHless?

Tea Krulos — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:21:11 GMT

This is a weird question, but why are there no RLSH in Chicago? That is really odd to me. There's some in NY, LA, and here in the much smaller Milwaukee. But none in Chicago, a true Gotham City?
Why is that? Any speculations?

The "Villains" are getting riled up again.

TheWhiteSkull — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:25:56 GMT

I won't name specific names, but I'm being examined and cross-examined by one of the so-called henchmen of the RLSV, who supposes that he has any sort of authority to do so, as if I answer to him. Anyway, I'll tell you all here what I told him: I'm not a member of any group anymore. I'm not a villain and I'm not an RLSH. I'm a foil, a watcher, continuing my original mission to make sure that the RLSH were indeed fighting the good fight and not doing it for fame and fortune. To that end, ...

Spiral wound polycarbonate forearm bracers

Victim — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:56:53 GMT

This is the procedure I'm using to make high-impact forearm guards using spiral wound layers of 1/16th" polycarbonate. The concentric layers of the plastic under high tension exert an outward force that helps spread the force of an impact. Wound in 3 layers, the test pair I made will reduce a baseball bat impact to a minor shock. They will also resist crushing blows and will not buckle and remain bent like steel bracers. They are, however, fairly bulky and not suitable for hiding under ...

Saving Face

Mr. Jack — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 01:39:47 GMT

I have been self-debating the pros and cons of mask wearing, and I wondered what the general opinion was. I showed my face once in Portland and it has had me thinking since about what good a mask really does. I personally love masks, but there has been a part of me questioning the functionality of them and I wanted to hear some other thoughts. I'll start out by stating my reasons and love of wearing a mask. I know that a lot of people say that there are detriments to a mask, but I find that ...

Invent a gadget/weapon

2) A glove that has super adhesives, electrical stun charges, and a sleeping gas
3) A psionic gadget that blasts out Rick Astley whenever someone in the vicinity thinks of commiting a crime. The more heinous the crime, the louder it plays

We concentrated on the pier vendors alot as they see tons of people, they took copys & will keep their eyes open: Then we headed back into town and walked a foot patrol in a high traffic Mugging area that the Pinellas trail runs thru, then drove a patrol ...

RLSH Non-Profit Organization Initiative

DrTomorrow — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:15:48 GMT

I was watching a video by a so called super villain called Swordkane on youtube and I couldn't help, but have to agree with him when he said that we shouldn't call ourselves superheroes, until we were ready and willing to go out there and take a bullet to save lives. I propose that we reorganize the RLSH movement to be more like the Guardian Angels organizations and that we create chapters of local superheroes in every town and every city and we actually go on patrols instead of talking about ...

The Mafia

Gauge — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:02:32 GMT

I hate to dig up old topics, but I was perusing the Graveyard threads and saw one about taking the Mafia down. If anyone is considering actually trying this, you should know that the police on all levels are running undercover operations to fight their influence. You stand a higher risk of impeding an investigation of the Mafia than of impeding a drug bust, simply because there are more undercover agents. Also, the Mafia has many legitimate businesses. Your venture into Mafia territory ...

Most of them were taken before the actual walk, but I was too busy running around to just take pictures, and I will be posting a video as well. ...

Graffiti and silly gang names

Ragensi — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 08:35:10 GMT

I encountered tons of this graffiti on one of my routes this week. An entire neighborhood is practically covered in it. South Side Maniacs? thats a little comic bookish , I'd say. Knowing my luck , they'll either be some baseball bat wielding rip off of a gang from The Warriors or a bunch a 16 year old kids with nothing better to do. Place your bets I'm going to paint over some of it. Heres hoping I catch them in the act next time.

Greetings! I am Samen! (pronounced SAH-min). Samen is the German word for Seed. I've chosen this alias for several reasons that I'll disclose: My mission is oriented around helping people by helping the environment, so I wanted a name based on nature. Samen also reflects the idea that a small act of goodness can, like a seed, grow into something larger. I want to be this kind of good influence on those I encounter. Also, it embodies the idea that although our efforts may not show results right ...

Sparrow's musings

Sparrow — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 06:04:10 GMT

It's cold. Really cold. Not that cold abstractly, but this is Texas, and it's cold. Mostly I guess it's just windy. Major wind chill going on. Started wearing my old trench coat for warmth on patrols. Concerned it may be too conspicuous. More concerned about hypothermia. Other than freezing my butt off, it's been very uneventful. A bit frustrating really. Not the lack of action; I get the feeling that's par for the course. The frustrating part is reading the police reports the next day. If there's ...

With so many Martial traditions in the world the number of standardized weapons forms out there is staggering. So my fellow RLSH's Which do you like? What can you use? Which would you like to learn? Post your opinions, pictures and videos. I can't wait to see what you've got in store. I will add a short video of me demonstrating ...

I'm only producing what is incidental to what I'm currently working on or studying, and my primary goal is still applied research, not manufacture. I'll continue to post projects if I come up with something useful that others can build. I'll even give you some pointers if you're ...

I am interested in starting a nonprofit organization, which I already mentioned on Civitron's "Sex Work" thread. My goal is to hire professional private investigators to help people who need those services but cannot afford them. One example would be conducting surveillance for a woman who is being stalked by an ex-boyfriend and needs proof of the harassment to take to the police. I started this new thread in order to get feedback and suggestions from other RLSH.

Circumventing Self Defense Weapons Laws

Another thing that you can carry are kubatons they are not illegal. They are cheap and easy to buy. If you are concerned about the legallity of caring one you can carry a couple of pens, pencils, small maglites, and etc and use them instead. If used right a pen or a pencil can do some serious damage. ...
