The End of Violence

 

It’s a movie from a couple decades back.  It’s a story about a secret government project in Los Angeles that was going to use satellites and security cameras to detect crime and take out bad guys before they even committed their act, thereby rendering the city safe.  Ironically, they were going to end violence with violence.  Of course, in the end the good guy exposed the project, and it was abandoned.  The concept was a stretch in 1997. 

 

Now, it’s only twenty years later and satellite surveillance results in bad guys on the other side of the planet being located, tracked, and taken out by missiles fired from U.S. drones.  Wow.  I think we just ended violence with violence.
