Police nab armed "Batman" in small Michigan town
Summary: In Petoskey, Michigan, there was a Batman sighting on a roof of a building. However, this wasn't the real buff Batman that we all know from the comics and the feature films. It was 31-year-old Mark Williams. Williams had concealed weapons, including a baton and a can of chemical irritant spray. Police were called to come handle the situation, and Williams was charged on account of carrying concealed weapons. He didn't explain why he was dressed in costume, but this wasn't the first time: a few years ago, Williams dressed as the Crow, another figure from a graphic novel.
Response: Sometimes, people get a too over the top with obsessions. It's no problem to dress up this way for a fair, or when you're in your own home, etc. But when a person goes out into public and hangs around on top of a building in the center of a town with a population of about 6000 people, there's a bit of a problem. He was endangering himself and possibly others and maybe should learn a lesson from this situation.
