How Does One Stop Dylann Roof

The answer is you don't but The Guardian is running the same old trail that we must.  If only there were sufficient monitoring tools then we could catch all these terrorists and the world will suddenly become safe for everybody.  (The Guardian:  Beyond Dylann Roof: inside the hunt for domestic extremists in the digital age)

The article doesn't go beyond anything and instead wades around in the same ineffective and vastly over-rated spy motif of the last decades.  If we only had enough CCTV cameras, more monitoring tools, better software, more cops, etc, etc then there would be the peace ... which only Big Brother can give us.

The premise is flawed from the outset as there was nothing high-tech, digital, or anything of that nature in what Dylann Roof did.  He was just another dime store malcontent with a gun.  There's no predicting what people like that will do without being as damaged as they.


The solution remains what it has always has been:  equality.  Nothing will make this type of malcontent killing stop unless they don't have a reason to do it.  They can spend all day long coming up with crazy reasons for doing something vicious because there's something they want, they can't get it, and they see it, (insert whichever object you like), as being the cause of it.  Therefore, kill it.

In my view, it's logical such people explode as they do when they see the solution to everything else is to find the problem and shoot it.  Governments do it so why shouldn't I.


Dylann Roof changes nothing about my view as everything comes back to the global requirement everyone needs a fair shot at the brass ring and, right now, people wouldn't even know the ring if they found it.  Success is a Cadillac Escalade ... with one person driving it.

The people who were shot by Dylann Roof will be buried today and there isn't one of them who thought success was a Cadillac Escalade.  Roof would have known that if such people were not drowned out by those who do think a Cadillac Escalade is important.


As to who is responsible for Roof:  all of us.  We didn't give him the guidance he needed.  There are lectures and speeches all over the place but very little guidance.
