Y’ all aware that we have a crime problem and the politicians do nothing. We live in a semi rural aware about 15-20 miles from a small city. We have seen crime go up a lot the past few years, stolen cars, break ins, and even some robberies. What did we do as a community? We formed a neighborhood watch where we break up into groups and take turns patrolling our community. I do it once per week, usually groups of 3-5. Two nights ago my wife and I are sleeping and about 3 in the morning I hear someome say “ Go get em boys ! , go get em ! We look outside my window and I see 5 guys with flash lights , guns and a dog running towards 2 men. Before I know it, the sherrif department shows up and I see them handcuffing 2 men who were seen breaking into a car. The neighborhood watch group saw them and went into action. The sherrif also got a call about 3 other suspicious men who were apprehended by another watch group and guess what? They were part of the criminal group our guys apprehended. They also arrested a driver of a stolen car who was the getaway driver. After searching the suspects, 2 of the 5 had guns and the driver had a gun hidden under the seat. What were they going to do with those loaded stolen guns????? The suspects were the “ usual suspects” and hopefully they will send word not to ever come to our community, we wont put up with it. Neighborhood patrols work. Go get em boys !!!!! Go get em !

We examine understanding in adults with ASD, a disorder involving deficits in executive functions and imagination. Results reveal a dominant real-world bias that can be neutralized by a sufficiently rich fantasy context. Comprehending counterfactuals is intact in ASD, even when real-world constraints are violated. We show a dissociation between counterfactual thinking and Theory of Mind. Abstract Understanding fictional events requires one to distinguish reality from fantasy, and thus engages high-level processes including executive functions and imagination, both of which are impaired in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We examined how adults with and without ASD make sense of reality-violating fantasy narratives by testing real-time understanding of counterfactuals. Participants were eye-tracked as they read narratives that depicted novel counterfactual scenarios that violate reality (e.g. “If margarine contained detergent, Mum could use margarine in her washing/baking”, Experiment 1), or counterfactual versions of known fictional worlds (e.g. “If Harry Potter had lost all his magic powers, he would use his broom to sweep/fly”, Experiment 2). Results revealed anomaly detection effects in the early moments of processing (immediately in Experiment 1, and from the post-critical region in Experiment 2), which were not modulated by group. We discuss these findings in relation to the constraints from real-world and fantasy contexts that compete to influence language comprehension, and identify a dissociation between ToM impairments and counterfactual processing abilities. Keywords Fictional narratives Counterfactual thinking Autism Eye-tracking Reading Anomaly detection Understanding counterfactuals, such as, “If the moon was made of cheese, I could have eaten a slice of the moon for lunch”, requires readers to temporarily accept false information as true (that the moon is made of cheese) and to accommodate subsequent events according to that hypothetical model of the world (I ate a slice of the moon for lunch). However, readers must also integrate the conditional frame to inhibit the sentence’s explicit content and infer the implied facts (that the moon is not made of cheese) in order to understand the sentence’s actual meaning (I did not eat a slice of the moon for lunch). Counterfactual thinking therefore relies on peoples’ imaginative capacities to consider a fictional version of the world. As such, it engages many of the same specialized cognitive processes as Theory of Mind (ToM) reasoning (Perner, 2000, Riggs et al., 1998, Van Hoeck et al., 2014), and implicates the same set of executive functions (e.g. working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility; Drayton et al., 2011, Van Hoeck et al., 2014). This paper aims to systematically test the relative availability of real-world/fictional.... Continues in link.
Dem's socially engineered cities are a dog infested with criminal fleas, overcrowded fleas jump to the next town. Dem's are actually breeding criminals to attack us.
Thats a bunch of crap. Its because of laziness and bad decions. Go preach your bs to a rapper or nba player making millions because of capitalism.
