My Sister












Chi O's mascot is the owl.







Same Eckstein, Missing Maura Murray podcast, episode 11:




So, whom (haha) could blame them for being pro-active? But how do they identify a "would-be perpetrator?" And how, exactly, do they prevent him from offending?

How, precisely, is he "contained in advance?" By a little pre-crime? A little Minority Report? A little thought police? Which is now called "threat assessment?" By stalking his every move and letting him know they’re never far off, always watching him?

Isn't that how freaks are created? By attaching Chi O's "would-be perpetrators" label so that we can better leer at them, rant about them, belittle them, threaten them, and despise them on social media?

Isn't that exactly what "To Catch a Predator" was really all about? A chance for the insecure to feel better about themselves by watching Hansen's freaks? A peep-show of "would-be perpetrators?" A vigilante crowd emboldened and enabled by police?
