We’re just talking past each other.

I’m for profiling but not to the point where you become unconcerned about someone because they appear heterosexual or appear caucasian. The difference should be *extra* vigilence towards demographic groups known to be more inclined to certain unfavorable behaviors.

How safe would you have felt if Jerry Sandusky was one of your neighbors if all you knew was his public reputation?

I wouldn’t feel safe at all if Jerry Sandusky was a neighborhood, he’s one of the 1 in a hundred in your illustration, but he’s already identified.

If an unknown person from a known group that is 10% child molestive lives next door, then I’m more concerned than when it’s a person from a different group that’s 1 in 100.
