This nut thinks he's Batman. Petaluma is about 30 miles south of me. Somebody is going to shoot this kid.

On a chilly January night, cloaked in full disguise and shielded by the cover of darkness, he roamed the streets of downtown Petaluma, keeping an eye out for trouble.
Often eliciting cheers and high-fives from residents familiar with his mission of inspiring goodwill in those he passes, on this particular evening the young man known only by the moniker “Petaluma Batman” zipped through the streets on an electric scooter, posting flyers about his former Casa Grande High School classmate, the then-missing Alyssa Byrne.
“I truly believe that anyone can be a hero,” said the 19-year-old as he taped a flyer to an electric pole and then waved to a car full of young people honking as they drove past him on Kentucky Street. “There's a lot of tough stuff going on around the world, so I wanted to do something to boost people's morale.”
Petaluma Batman, who wished to keep his identity a secret to protect his family's privacy, has become a Facebook sensation almost overnight. He created a Facebook profile on Dec. 22 just to see how many Petalumans would “Like” his page. Within days, his page had more than 2,700 followers. He has already made a radio appearance, been recognized all over town by random passersby, exploded on social media and been on the lips of countless young people throughout the area.
