NYPD Will Seek Internet Clues to ID "Deranged" Gunmen Before They Strike
December 21, 2012 11:06:50 am
Top New York Police Department intelligence officials are examining ways to search the Internet to identify potential "deranged" gunmen before they strike, reports the New York Times. “The techniques would include cyber-searches of language that mass-casualty shooters have used in e-mails and Internet postings,” said Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. “The goal would be to identify the shooter in cyberspace, engage him there and intervene, possibly using an undercover to get close, and take him into custody or otherwise disrupt his plans.”
There are plans to send officers to Newtown, Ct., and to scenes of other mass shootings to collect information, police spokesman Paul Browne said. Browne said the potential tactics included creating an algorithm that would search online “for terms used by active shooters in the past that may be an indicator of future intentions.” Kelly said the technique was similar to those being used to spot terrorists’ chatter online. The new searches would target “apolitical or deranged killers before they become active shooters,” he said.

[Trying juveniles as atdlus] is a fiction the system engages in to permit trial and punishment of juveniles who commit serious crimes.I understand that it has a purpose. I maintain that fiction makes bad government, even when it comes with good intentions.I do not belive that all juvenile crime is committed by children who have made a mistake, who are immature, or who have been improperly supervised.I don’t either. I was responding to your claim that there is more juvenile crime now than before, and I meant “supervision” as a part of upbringing in general. Because, if more children commit crimes, what else could have changed other than their upbringing? I assume that you don’t think that criminality is a contagious disease that they got from the water.In America, our justice system is admittedly flawed but we constantly try to make it work better.I agree that American justice has some strengths, but that we should work to make it better. If I didn’t want to make it better, I would never have joined this discussion. We should uphold justice by upholding the truth.
