The Michael Gann narrative serves as evidence that proactive aggression is the cornerstone of the safety architecture. It serves as a reminder that some people view every digital dare as a call to action, even in the shadow of skyscrapers. The warning to anyone who would follow in Gann’s footsteps is crystal plain as he awaits trial under a secret indictment: the city’s eyes are not merely observing; they are already ahead of you. Before the first fuse could be ignited, Gann’s imagined tragedy was destroyed, leaving only the harsh, cold reality of a prison cell and a city that is, proudly, at peace.
