“One day everything will be well. That is our hope.
Everything’s fine today. That is our illusion”
Voltaire
“Security Cameras,” the highly-visible feature of ever-delusional “Security Theater”
Early Friday morning, at least seven dangerous, violent felons escaped from the New Orleans Parish Jail.
So far, none have been recaptured.
What is interesting is that it took these prisoners hours to break-through the wall, and every tedious minute of this violent, noisy demolition was duly recorded on “security” cameras, INSIDE the jail!
Security cameras that obviously no one was watching!
This escape was, in fact, only “discovered” later in the morning, hours after the inmates were long-gone!
Lessons: The often-repeated mantra that “security cameras prevent crime” is so much rubbish. They obviously don’t even prevent crime INSIDE JAILS!
The only purpose these security camera videos serve is to provide TV news networks with interesting footage that they can use to jam between ads!
Of course, these recordings may be useful to prosecutors at the criminal trial of violent felons (long after you’re dead and buried)
So, the next time you’re at a shopping mall and notice all the “security cameras” (that no one is watching), and also notice they way they’re always installing more, (that no one will be watching either), think about the critical necessity of providing your own security!
“Here too it’s masquerade, I find:
As everywhere, the dance of mind. I grasped a lovely masked procession, and caught things from a horror show…
I’d gladly settle for a false impression, if it would last a little longer, though.”
von Goethe
