Frank’s Lumber Supplies is believed to be a cover-up business for crime syndicate Frank D’Amico’s actions with evidence of drugs and weapons found inside the warehouse. His list of crimes allegedly includes drug dealing and murder.
Police are still investigating the incident, and are not willing to say more on the matter. Public opinion, however, is that the workers’ deaths are the result of vigilante superheroes, such as Kick-Ass, Hit-Girl, and Big Daddy.
Kick-Ass first garnered public attention after taking on three muggers in a gas station parking lot. The hero was filmed by by-standers, and he rose to fame on YouTube and MySpace. His actions are believed to inspire spin-off superheroes Red Mist, Hit-Girl, and Big Daddy, among others. Earlier this week, Red Mist helped take down a most-wanted crime boss Tony Romita.
Hit-Girl and Big Daddy seem to be a separate fighting unit that teamed up with Kick-Ass in order to take down D’Amico’s crime spree together. Big Daddy is believed to be the intellectual support, financial supporter, and back-up attacker of the operation.
Hit-Girl is a short woman with an almost child-like build, and is easily distinguished by her bright purple hair, plaid skirt, and leather outfit. She is an expert in wielding knives and guns, and is known for her fast moves and ability to quickly outwit her opponents.
Allegedly angered by the superheroes’ actions, D’Amico’s men kidnapped and live-streamed a violent attack on Kick-Ass and Big Daddy, which culminated in Big Daddy’s death by fire. Arguably, Big Daddy and Hit-Girl have excessively violent tactics, but since Big Daddy’s death, Hit-Girl has become a public favorite.
Police are still investigating a series of incidents which all seem to be connected to D’Amico’s work. If citizens have any information on any drug dealing, deaths, fire, or kidnappings that may be related to the D’Amico case, they are encouraged to contact their local police station.
