3. It is happening here, the way it happened over there.
The precipitating incident there was the security camera that caught the two boys leading a child out of a store, to subsequently kill him. They were caught because of the camera. British press played that up, and suddenly there were cameras everywhere.

Here, we had the camera catching the abduction of that girl in a parking lot, which led to her abductor being caught. It's moved more slowly, because of our defense of civil rights, privacy, etc., but the movement in on - and more cameras are going up all the time.

Take an isolated incident, splatter it all over the national press, and we have people hysterically calling for total public surveilance - even here, I saw postings praising the spy cameras.

It will only get worse.
