Marvel Comics Inspire a Succesful Police Raid

Marvel Comics Inspire a Succesful Police Raid

Toronto police held a press conference Wednesday morning, announcing they'd dredged up 27 firearms, $110,000 and filed 395 criminal charges in a Tuesday raid on gang members. The raid was named Project Marvel because some of the gang members used Marvel Comics superhero names.

Someone, call Alpha Flight! Quick!

The police were triggered by gang violence, and 900 officers searched 67 locations to find the material. They filed the charges against 60 people, including some young offenders. In today's press conference, police said there was more work to be done.

And thank goodness none of those young offenders had been members of the New Warriors. THOSE poor kids can't handle anymore of this kind of publicity after that Stamford incident. Look what happened to poor Speedball, for goodness sakes!
