Representatives of the American Civil Liberties Union are seeking to file an injunction against first-term Metro City mayor Mike Haggar. According to their statement, they claim that the tactics the mayor is utilizing in his near-personal vendetta against city-wide crime “borders on an almost archaic, thuggish approach to dealing with society’s derelicts.” “The rights of all citizens must be protected. He can’t just go around busting the heads of random street punks and gang members.”
Eyewitnesses in some of the city’s worst neighborhoods have seen the mayor, along with two accomplices, systematically working their way through the streets, savagely brutalizing anyone they suspect as having associations with the criminal element. “We understand his frustration,” says Andore Wright, lawyer for the ACLU. “Crime in Metro City is at an all time high, and the mayor is under great duress, but that does not mean one can simply play vigilante and bruise their way to results.” He adds, “Proper and rightful law enforcement is the answer here, not this. There are legal ramifications for what is being done.”
Haggar was recently elected to the mayoral seat of Metro City in an almost landslide victory. “His history as a professional wrestler and community activist have really endeared himself as a man of the people,” states Brenda Roll, spokesperson for Haggar’s 2008 campaign. “He’s a good man. And until his daughter is found safely, those Mad Gear punks are gonna pay!” Brenda is referring to Jessica Haggar, the mayor’s daughter. An aspiring socialite with a penchant for partying, it’s been reported that she has not been seen for several days. Supposed associations with this entity called the “Mad Gear” have gone unfounded.
Of course, not everyone in the city approves of Mike Haggar’s approach in dealing with crime; in fact, they welcome the ACLU’s pending injunction. Haggar has already had to deal with the threat of a police strike, and corporate leaders fear his intimidating tactics will send the wrong message about Metro City’s reputation as a center of international commerce. “He’s meddling in affairs that don’t concern him,” says businessman Horace Belger, who is confined to a wheelchair. “He’d better watch out…how’s Jessica, by the way?”
When asked for a comment in response to the ACLU’s actions and his detractors, the mayor responded to our reporter’s inquiry by pile-driving him into the pavement, perhaps cementing the beliefs of many that this personal crusade against crime of his borders on lunacy.
UPDATE – Cody Travers, long time associate of mayor Mike Haggar, as well as boyfriend to Haggar’s still missing daughter, Jessica, was arrested late last night. Police state that Travers was arrested following an incident involving a local transsexual. While we are unsure that money was exchanged for sexual favors, it is known that he was brought into custody following an altercation.
