* Here are five biographical questions which can eliminate, IMO, 95% of bad people (based on my experience and seeing patterns):
Did he or she grow up in a two-parent household? Are his or her parents still married and is it a first marriage for both?
How many siblings does he/she have? How many sisters?
Did he/she grow up with a dog and does he/she like dogs/animals?
Did his/her parents bring him/her to church/synagogue when he/she was growing up and does he/she attend now?
How does he/she feel about people who are different from him/her (racial, religious, sexual orientation, etc.)?
* One thing that has always bugged me about these flashmobs where you see a horde of black kids invade and loot a place…
You just know each and every one of them has a cell phone.
And you also know that in most cases the cell phone provider has the ethnic profile of the user.
Or heck, voice recognition has gotten to the point where I think it could reliably id the race (and a lot of other things) of a speaker from the speech itself (idiom, timbre, word selection, etc).
Even if you could care less about what they had to say, it’s easy to imagine a program processing this to id the user. For demographic reasons you understand.
I’m sure it is an invasion of privacy; but as someone who has no knowledge or experience with law, it has always seemed to me to be a crapshoot as to what lawyers can torture out of this system, meaning what is allowed and what is not permissible comes across as totally random.
Anyway, I’m quite sure that cell providers could do something to identify “swarms” as they are forming. It would be nice if different providers shared data for this purpose, but even data from one popular provider would be very useful for this concept.
Anyway, just idle musing. But the future is already here in a lot of ways. It just hasn’t bothered to materialize yet.
But me personally I think I could set up a system where these kids loot a store then walk out and find the police and barricades waiting for them.
* The mistake white people make is thinking that blacks naturally trust other blacks more than they trust whites. It’s just another example of how white people outside the South know very little about black people.
Most blacks, those outside the talented ten, look at whites in authority positions as more trustworthy than blacks in authority positions. The assumption of blacks when seeing a black cop is that he is a Tom and mostly interested in showing off to other white cops. An older white cop will usually get more cooperation from older blacks because they assume he will treat them fairly.
Young male cops of any race are assumed to be no different than the bangers. That’s not too far off. Most cities deploy their dumbest and youngest to the ghetto. It takes guts to confront a group of hoppers, much less full on bangers. It also helps if you’re stupid and in good physical shape. Older cops of any race will ignore most of the petty crime anyway. They simply don’t need the hassle.
* My experience with blacks is that they don’t trust anybody, but they have a pathological mistrust of whites, and the hatred of Toms is merely a reflection of that. Hatred of Toms does not equate to trusting whites.
Anecdotally, I have seen primitive displays of primate aggression, going up to the brink, and then backing down, between young black men, and only young black men, brought on by mere glances. One black guy simply looks at another black guy for a fraction of a second too long, and this aggression display erupts. I’ve never seen a black guy take such umbrage at a white guy. If the white guy does something the black guy doesn’t like, he’ll let it pass.
It’s like two parallel universes.
