A gangstalking dilemma...

Here is another tread on the subject, it deals somewhat with the logistical problems.
It might help to point out that they are not the only one suffering from it and that the number of stalkers involved in total would be a noticeable % of the workforce.

Speaking as someone who has professionally "stalked" people (law enforcement) I have to interject a little reality into the subject. It takes a bare minimum of 4-5 people to safely conduct a clandestine surveillance (you only need one if you just want to follow someone around). 4-5 people, three shifts a day, seven days a week? For just one single random person?

It would nearly take the adult population of the US to do what these people are suggesting.

And you're just talking about watching them. Some of these "gang stalking victims" claim things like being confronted on the street, and having people break into their homes and rearrange their stuff, and other things that would be much more labour intensive.

You know, i would have a simple solution to this problem....

When approached by someone who claims gangstalking, give them a gun. And tell them to use it on the next car, or person they suspect of being part of the conspiracy.

The trick is, the gun isn't real, it looks real, it feels real, but when fired it will emit a bang, and send a signal to an appropriate psychiatric agency to come pick the person up.

My theory is that those who are just doing it because it provides an escape, a way to feel important in a big world, will not use the gun, and this fact will spurn them to realize that even they don't really believe. While those who are mentally ill enough to do so will be properly taken care of.

This has been tried with the mentally ill before, mostly by the mentally ill themselves.

It's called "cop assisted suicide".

Got a complaint like that once. This guy called to say he suspected (my agency) was stalking him and breaking into his house. As evidence he said we had taken bananas out of his refrigerator while he was at work.



"Gang stalking?" Since when did mental illness deserve a website?

You should have reminded him that bananas like the climate of the very very tropical equator ... so you should never put bananas ... in the refrigerator.



Gang stalkers were providing this poor schmuck a service, and he cops an attitude. Sheesh.

I recently (a few months back) had a person (well, a patient in a mental health unit) tell me that he was being 'gang-stocked'.. I felt bad for him.
