THANATOS CALLS OUT MAYOR OF VANCOUVER

Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson began his term in November 2008. According to the City of Vancouver website, "He was elected on a platform of ending street homelessness in the City of Vancouver by 2015, and making Vancouver the greenest city in the world."

Thanatos, the Dark Avenger of Vancouver, thinks he can do more. He has offered an online video challenge for the Mayor Robertson to join forces with him to help Vancouver's large homeless population.

You can watch the VIDEO CHALLENGE HERE.

"He really isn't a bad mayor and he has tried to do a lot for the homeless problem.
I think he can do more. I can." Thanatos wrote online on a forum.

Thanatos does monthly hand outs of water, food, tarps, blankets, and other supplies. I myself rode along with him as he did an early morning handout to homeless along with others during the 2010 Winter Olympics. It was very clear that he had a working knowledge of where to find Vancouver's homeless and how to approach them, even while wearing a green skull mask.

Thanatos knew the names of many he encountered, and in return many knew his name and recognized him as a friend. On his most recent mission, Thanatos handed out 70 bottles of water on a hot evening.

Heroes in the Night has issued a media request to Mayor Robertson's office asking if they plan on responding to Thanatos. Any response will be reported here.

RLSH v.s. The Dog Days of Summer

The dog days of summer are upon us, the time of year when dehydration is a very serious threat, especially to those unfortunate enough to be stuck out in the heat. Three separate water hand out missions were conducted by RLSH on August 15. The expense for these missions is low and the goal is simple- keep people hydrated.

Vancouver, August 15-
It was a "hot and hazy" day in Vancouver, almost 100 degrees(Fahrenheit). Thanatos, the Dark Avenger of Vancouver (along with Lady Catacomb) packed his van with 70 bottles of water and headed to the Main and Hastings area of downtown, delivering water to people in places like Oppenheimer Park. Thanatos reports he handed out the water in less than an hour, and that his total cost for the water was merely ten dollars.

Seattle, August 15-
Meanwhile, further south, a crew of RLSH hit the streets of Seattle to hand out water, including SkyMan, White Baron, The Irishman, and Mr. Jack. The RLSH quartet walked the area by the waterfront and the Pike Place Market, handing out a case of water. While on their mission they crossed paths with the Bag Monster and talked about entering into a diplomatic Bag Monster/ RLSH relationship. (You can see Bag Monster's site HERE.)

Orlando, August 15-
The hot streets of Florida were the site of the third water handout. Team Justice members Master Legend and Symbiote were joined by Metadata to do the handout. The trio loaded up the Justice Van and headed to an area where a large group of people lined up to get a cold water.
