Last night in Times Square, a couple wannabe superheroes fought the law and the law won. According to the Post, a duo dressed up as Superman and Batman couldn’t provide police with “the required license to perform in costume in public,†or any identification for that matter. When cops handcuffed Batman, real name Frank Frisoli, Superman “took off, screaming, ‘I’m not getting arrested.†Police tackled the Man of Steel, 23-year-old Maksim Katsnelson, and charged him with resisting arresting, as well as assault for allegedly hitting an officer. Batman, who was released in the car-free space, said, “We were just having a good time,†at least until Superman “freaked out and punched the girl cop in the face.â€

Last night. Police approached Maksim Katsnelson, (Superman) and Frank Frisoli (Batman) and asked if they had a license to perform in costume in public. When they said no they were asked for ID and they said they had no ID.
Batman was subdued quietly but superman freaked out and had to be taken down by seven cops. Kids were watching the whole thing in disbelief. Do New York City police have nothing else to do than arrest these kids because they were wearing costumes? The question really is, should there be a license required to wear a costume? I don’t know if they were actually performing but were liberal democrats out there complaining that regulation had to happen to stop Metropolis from beating down people on main street?
Batman was released but Superman was charged with assault and resisting arrest. I can understand the assault part, but I just love how you can be arrested for resisting arrest. The assault part never would have happened if the kid wasn’t being arrested in the first place? So what was he being arrested for initially, resisting arrest?
Sure dressing up in tights and a cape without ID in New York City isn’t the smartest thing to do, but did this kid really need to have a criminal record forced upon him? The police should have sent them home at most if they were disturbing the pace or sent them off to get a license.
If superman were real I’m sure he would have been arrested by now for breaking numerous FAA regulations. What a sad land of bureaucracy we live in.
