Incident report

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Last night, Marius and Kurt and I had a bit of a run-in with some of the local Friends of Humanity. One of them - in fact, one of the kids who used to run with Tommy - had set up a sort of mutant social networking website, in an attempt to gather a number of mutants in one place to basically take their shot at. Admittedly, I fell for it hook, line, and sinker and if it hadn't been for having Marius and Kurt there, I'd probably be in a hospital bed eating through a straw.

However, a few calls to some lawyers my father recommended to me and with the help of some useful video that I happened to acquire during the evening, a number of the people involved have been identified through previous criminal records and injunctions are being filed for assault charges. As well, the hosting company providing space for the website has taken it down pending fraud charges, and that one goes straight through the FBI's Internet Crimes Division. As far as I can tell, no other "meet-ups" had been scheduled through the site, and I managed to get a hold of the list of folks that did register through the website, and a copy of all the information is being forwarded to them for their own safety.

They're getting more subtle out there. It's not just all picketing and vandalism anymore.
