Hello, Kent, I am standing here at the scene of what was a major incident involving several super powered individuals.
The vigilante Spider-Man was spotted among the combatants, as well as several known super powered criminals. Eyewitnesses have also described several other individuals who are as yet unidentified enhanceds.
Authorities are clearing the rubble over a two block radius, including the remnants of a six story office building that is little more than a pile of smoking debris. The officer in charge has asked local residents to remain in their homes until the area is fully secured. It is unclear if any arrest warrants will issue from this incident.
Back to you, Kent.
There you have it. If you are a resident of that neighborhood, stay in your homes until further notice.
Joining us now with commentary is Laurel Friedman.
Thank you, Kent.
Once again we, the everyday citizens of the City of New York, find ourselves in the middle of an impromptu warzone. This was not a case of an alien invasion, nor of a renegade artificial intelligence wreaking havoc on a world-wide scale. This was a street level incident between local super powered individuals, a 'turf war,' if you will.
When is this going to end? Is there really any difference between these self-proclaimed 'heroes' and the 'villains' they fight when both indiscriminately level city blocks whenever they clash?
So I ask you, the mayor, the governor, and all legislators- federal, state and local, for the City, County and State of New York-
What are you going to do about it?
