It's not clear, although we do know that this guy was a former employee of the Guard and Security staff.

Yeah, and now he's in the system.

So we've got a little girl and we've got a cop.

Yeah.

I kind of think he's emblematic of what's going on right now.

I mean, look, there's a grocery store that opened up around the corner from me that wants to run facial recognition on me while I'm picking up Cheetos.

You know, there are executives at every industry running private intelligence shops and running private security shops, and they're becoming more and more important.

Every company has sort of gotten in in one way or the other into this surveillance capitalism model where they take your information, they take your fingerprint, they take your face, and then they either try to sell that data to someone else or they use that data to kind of micro-target you.

And so in a lot of ways, I think Dolan may be a very particular character.

He may be a man with a very particular set of grievances and history, but I think he's kind of the future.

Yeah.

And he's not the only one.
