Captain Australia’s Crime Fighting Journal, Entry #21
Initially, this post is just a place-holder for my update after todays’ crime patrol. My intent today is two-fold. Firstly, I will do some on-patrol-training, as I’ve been overseas all week and have not been able to train my body. I think parkour street running is a good choice, to temper core strength, agility, endurance. Secondly, I’ve been reading on Brisbane crime areas, and there is a major shopping mall where thievery has been on the increase. I think today I might patrol there in the hopes of catching shoplifters.
I know this seems to be aiming low, but I think it will be very public, and therefore increase the chance of inspiring .. and its got a reasonably good chance that I’ll encounter crime. (I’d appreciate any input on crimes that you become aware of to help me with future decisions).
Saturday update: my Aikido master friend came around thisafternoon for a training session, and unfortunately in a spirited exchange I injured him, and we had to go to the emergency room, concerned that I had broken his shoulder. Luckily, after x-rays we found it was just a sprain, and he is now at home, recovering. (He requested that I don’t upload the film, I will honour his preference).
Regrettably, this disrupted my planned patrol, which will be deferred until Monday 19th October.
