The LAPD is hunting Frank Castle | Silver Circle Underground
The LAPD and associated forces are currently conducting the largest organized manhunt in LA history. The search now spans four States, California, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. The suspect is former LAPD officer and ex-US Navy reservist, Christopher Dorner who has declared “unconventional and asymmetrical warfare” on the LAPD, their families, and any associated agencies who assist the officers he refers to as “enemy combatants.” He has already left three dead and two others wounded who were either law enforcement officers or their families. In response, the LAPD has abandoned all restraint and discretion. In two separate incidents police have opened fire on innocent civilians who were completely unrelated to the manhunt, because they happened to be in a pickup truck that matched the description of Dorner’s vehicle. Police even rammed one vehicle and drove it off the road. It wasn’t even the right color.
In all this insanity I can’t help but feel like I’m reading about a live action reenactment of an episode in the life of Frank Castle, the sociopathic antihero known as The Punisher.
In 1974 The Punisher broke many of the conventions that comic books adhered to. He was not merely a vigilante, as all superheroes are fundamentally. He was a character as brutal and deranged as the villains he fought. He utilized torture, caused collateral damage, and even engaged in kidnapping, extortion and blackmail. He was not a hero because he was wholesome, but because he was more terrifying than his enemies, which was unprecedented in the comic genre.
