I still have an old comment from years ago in /r/movies when the 2nd "Birth Of A Nation" movie came out.
One of the redditors mentioned that Nat Turner didn't do anything wrong, and that when he saw a scene from the little white girl leading a black girl around with a rope, he wished he could have killed her. Being that this was like 4 years ago, I made a desperate attempt to reason with the guy by pointing out that the child was utterly innocent of any crimes, and that Nat Turner literally ordered the murder of a baby even over the objections of his own men. Nat Turner basically admitted that he wanted to start a race-war by ethnically cleansing a portion of the south in order to terrorize them into abandoning slavery through the fear of a race-war.
His response was "they would have grown up into slave owners".
Even though this a) doesn't make sense because slavery would be banned by the time they could inherent slaves, b) you can't know that they would own slaves as most people never owned any, c) this is literal pre-crime, he didn't want to hear it. The white girl deserved death because of the circumstances of her birth family alone, and a possible outcome that was unacceptable.
This is who these people are. These are the Death Camp volunteers. These are people who volunteer to smash Cambodian babies against trees for counter-revolutionary thought.
We're seeing people act like that more and more as things progress; treating real life like it's Minority Report and people who may one day potentially commit a crime should be dealt with preemptively.
But really, this isn't anything new, but rather, a different version of something that's been happening for several years now. They already presume guilt for people every day, which is why white men are required to take certain classes, seminars, tests, etc. when getting involved with certain institutions.
Yeah, I've been saying this shit for several years.
Hell, I have a post in /r/ProtectAndServe from a couple years ago, talking about the dangers of the shit that was going down at Evergreen College.

People not only responded to them. The entire Democratic Party establishment has weaponized them and launched them at police & federal agencies.
