Minority Report. See my post#2 for a pic.

Make that first vote for Muslims only, and many people, including FReepers, would vote “Yes”. Then expand from there.

[DoughtyOne]

My take away...

...oh and by the way, we can tell who should and shouldn't own guns for their self-protection.

Slippery slope number 27,823.

[pepsionice]

Well, you know....in the history of DDR...there never was a mass shooting.

[Seruzawa]

I don’t believe this crap for one second.

[Raycpa]

A sample size of one ?

[Disestablishmentarian]

>>The more actual facts I learn about the shooter the clearer it is to me that he constructed his own dis-functional reality and his actions made sense to him in that world.<<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This conforms well to the FBI behavioral research on serial killers, except in this case the “Reality” was not sexual.

Does not know the difference between science and science fiction.

But what if we could get our arms around those patterns and predict an attack was going to occur with 80%, 90%, or even 100% certainty?

Then those patterns would be redefined by the narcissistic and projective Liberal Socialists to imprison and execute normal wholesome conservative producing citizens.

How could it be highly predictable when we still don’t know why he did it?

[NativeSon]

Tracking to some degree of non-citizens is a no brainer - do it.

Any American that believes in & would vote for a Big Brother future is someone that does not trust themselves in a civil society.

It's observable fact that Liberals want full control of citizens, suspend Rights, etc for the safety of Americans and that those who "mass murder", terrorize and generally plague Americans are liberals or democrats.

[bigbob]

Agree on all counts.

Science fiction has already been there, done that - Dr. Asimov's Harry Selden and his science of "psychohistory":

[Bratch]

A computer program is only as reliable as the person who programmed the computer.

[Artemis Webb]

I did not read the article but it occurs to me that if smart ass Rebecca Costa can claim after the fact that this was so predictable why they hell didn’t she predict it?

[from occupied ga]

The author is a moron. That a mass murder will take place sooner or later is a given, but predicting who. Not even remotely possible. How such ignorance gets printed is amazing. The author doesn’t have a clue of what analytics can or can’t predict nor does she have even the faintest whiff of the limits on predictive accuracy of current statistical methodologies.

[Nifster]

And then there is always that one little foible that makes us human.....unpredictability

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Dumb article written by a left-wing, statist dumb broad.

[Alberta's Child]

Imagine how much outrage you’d generate if you published an article suggesting that pre-emptively incarcerating black people without trials would have enormous benefits of lower crime rates in this country.
