Of course you don't want to cower in fear and act terrorized. Yet, sending the message that any steps necessary to catch terrorists will be taken within reason is a powerful deterrent. You can't just fade into the shadows. The entire city will contribute to finding and neutralizing the threat.
- john_w_t_b 14y agoFor any crime, there's a risk-reward balance. On the risk side, many rampage killers are suicidal and don't seem to fear the consequences of law enforcement. We need to focus on taking away the reward for these crimes i.e. public attention.
