It's expensive, probably unsustainable, but it was definitely effective. Would be in Chicago too, if the governor wasn't a moron. How much were the lives that were saved worth to Jarod? Well, zero, because that terrorist that killed Sarah likely would have killed others, and those other people who weren't murdered or victimized should have died or been assaulted because it was "worthless" to save or protect them, per Jarod...
We know that Jarod thinks it is worthless to protect people or save their lives, and it is our duty to die rather than be protected if Jarod deems the protection to be "pointless". I am very glad that Jarod isn't in charge of anything important to me.
