200 surveillance cameras at the Van Dyke houses in Brooklyn fail to stop a rape.When will people finally understand that cops, cameras, laws, courts - all that stuff - cannot prevent a crime?
Once again a rapist was caught on videotape, and once again cops failed to see him, police sources said Thursday.
A 19-year-old woman was raped at knife point inside the Van Dyke houses in Brooklyn early Thursday - a housing complex with more than 200 cameras supposedly monitored around the clock by the NYPD.
Police don't protect, they don't serve. They can only react to a crime that has been committed or one in the process of being committed. In either case, they do not prevent crime.
The 19-year-old was dragged into an elevator at around 4 AM and then raped at knife point. Even if the NYPD was actually watching the monitors of those 200 cameras, they could not have prevented the rape. If there had been 1,000 cameras, the results would have been the same.
One may wonder what a 19-year-old was doing at 4 AM to make herself a target. Perhaps on the way to work, or even coming home from a late shift.
No matter... If she had been trained in the use of a firearm and had been carrying, she could have prevented this crime all by herself, no cameras, no cops, no assistance from the "protect and serve" crowd. They couldn't prevent her rape, and guess what? They won't be there to help you when some Cro-Magnon semi-human animal comes at you with a knife.
Train yourself. Arm yourself. Protect yourself. Nobody else will.
