使命召唤

8月18日晚，上海体育场。    The cell phones, tablets, and laptops left behind by veterans who died by suicide may offer insight that could help prevent future military suicides, according to a nonprofit dedicated to analyzing the data from the devices.Stop Soldier Suicide collects the technology as part of its initiative, "The Black Box Project," which is named after the black boxes found on planes that help determine the cause of aviation incidents."If we could gather novel data from those that have died by suicide, we might be able to recreate the last year of life," Stop Soldier Suicide CEO Chris Ford told ABC News.Veterans are 57% more at risk for suicide than non-military adults and around 6,000 veterans die by suicide each year, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs."I think we can prevent needless suffering and a ton of loss of life," Ford said.That kind of loss is something David McDaniel, whose son Connor died by suicide at the age of 26, knows all too well.Connor McDaniel joined the Army after high school, and, according to David, he appeared upbeat during his deployment to Afghanistan, where he was assigned to protect local villages from the Taliban."Some of his Army buddies told me that he was making them laugh while they were being shelled in Afghanistan," David McDaniel told ABC News.But it wasn't long after Connor came home that David McDaniel says he sensed a shift in his son's behavior to include "more anger, a lot of frustration, a lot of gloominess."On Sept. 1, 2021, David says his son entered a wooded area with a firearm."I start screaming his name as I'm walking up the field. And just then the police, the sheriff's department shows up and they tell me to come back down," McDaniel said.He followed their direction, but on the car ride home, an officer called him and said Connor was dead after he fired upon sheriff's deputies and the deputies returned fire and killed him.Connor's death was determined to be a suicide. The district attorney's office concluded that the officers' actions were justified.While grappling with his son's death, David McDaniel was immediately drawn to the Black Box Project, which uses forensic software to unlock and comb through service members' devices provided by their loved ones to review their activity in the weeks leading up to their suicides.McDaniel works in the tech field and says if the project can find repeated patterns in online searches, they may be able to help others to prevent suicides.For instance, McDaniel says his son searched for SGLI, Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance, before his death. If a veteran were to make a similar search and look up "suicide" in the future, for example, McDaniel suggests it could trigger an ad for Stop Soldier Suicide to pop up and provide resources in the search results.Ford says the nonprofit uses machine learning, a subfield of artificial intelligence, to analyze texts and notes in order to determine sentiment or emotional tone, such as anger or desperation. He says they can also track phone usage of the deceased veterans to monitor their past sleep cycles and trace their past geo-locations."Machines can go through computations a lot faster than humans, and they can find signals that we often miss," Ford said.Since launching the Black Box Project in April 2020, Stop Soldier Suicide has received over 100 devices, Ford said. So far, he says they're seeing three patterns before most of these suicides: more anger, different sleep patterns, and social isolation.Ford's team includes Ph.D.s in clinical psychology and suicide researchers. A scientific advisory committee helps steer where and what to look for on the devices.The findings are still preliminary, according to the nonprofit, but one goal is to help the organization decide where, when, and how to target their own mental health resources, like adding more hotline staff at certain hours and ensuring calls are picked up overnight.When asked about privacy concerns of collecting data, Ford said it's something they think about daily."We don't resell the data. We don't push it out to others. We use it for our own research purposes so that we can best understand risk and then give those devices back to those families intact," Ford said.Current privacy laws do not carry on past death, meaning the next of kin typically gains new authority.Petra Oxford-Jackson, whose veteran husband Anthony died by suicide, says she gave his phone to the organization with the possibility it could save even one life."I truly believe he would have been okay with it, and it's a hard thing for a survivor to give up something so personal as his cell phone," Oxford-Jackson told ABC News.The Black Box Project received $3 million in funding from the Department of Veterans Affairs earlier this year.If you are struggling with thoughts of suicide or worried about a friend or loved one, call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 for free, confidential emotional support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.。申花主场0比3不敌国安，比分刺眼。散场时分，一段视频在网上炸开：一名小男孩，身上穿着那件再正常不过的红色中国男足7号球衣——武磊的战袍，被几名申花球迷围在中间，指指点点、言语刺耳。

二 | 孩子懵了，一言不发。

三 | 穿国家队球衣看球，放在任何足球发达国家都该被鼓励，怎么到了这里，反倒成了“有罪”？当武磊官博深夜发文寻人，当韩乔生甩出那句“首先是中国人然后才是球迷，围着个孩子算什么东西”，一个问题绕不开：申花球迷，为什么总能冲上争议的风口浪尖？德比仇恨的溢出。

四 | 在申花球迷的认知里，武磊不只是一个为国征战的射手，他更是同城死敌海港的旗帜。于是，一件本该代表“中国”的球衣，被悄悄置换成了“海港符号”。

五 | 仇恨从俱乐部蔓延到符号，再从符号降临到一个不懂恩怨的孩子身上。有网友说得扎心：申花球迷能和穿日本队球衣的人相安无事，却容不下一个穿国足球衣的孩子——当俱乐部对立凌驾于国家队认同，足球的根就歪了。输球情绪向下转移。0比3，主场，京沪大战，体面全无。

六 | 成年人面对失意的本能，本该是反思球队、安慰球员，可偏偏有人把火撒向了最弱的人。比赛在草皮上踢，不在小孩身上踢。

七 | 主队输了，不去骂不争气的球员，跑去恐吓一个孩子，这不是血性，是窝囊。围攻小孩的那几位，连“输球输人”都谈不上，得叫“输球输到下一代身上”。

八 | 身份认同的异化与流量的放大。这些年，把俱乐部胜负等同于城市尊严，成了一种隐秘的集体心理：主队输球像被扇耳光，看台于是成了宣泄戾气的出口。更麻烦的是短视频时代——冲突被剪成“精华集锦”，点赞量比进球还高，“对线文化”赛前预习、赛后复盘。当戾气能被兑换成流量，理性球迷就只能闭嘴，剩下的人越走越极端。这样的场景，并非第一次。2015年7月，一场京沪大战，申花球迷赛前围堵国安大巴，现场需武警维持秩序；比赛中激光笔直射主裁，看台互骂、扔矿泉水瓶，双方球员顶牛，终场前再起冲突，全场1红7黄。那一次，火从场外烧到场内。今年7月25日，上海德比海港2比0申花，终场后浦东足球场周边爆发肢体冲突，4名球迷被警方依法刑事拘留，其中一名申花球迷将海港球迷重重击倒。

九 | 这是从骂战走向刑拘的真实代价。

十 | 再把视野拉宽：申花与国安的京沪恩怨、与海港的上海德比，本就是中超最易燃的两组对决。

十一 | 多年积怨让看台情绪常年处于高压状态，而8月18日这桩“围攻小孩”的荒唐戏码，与德比仇恨逻辑同源——都是把对立情绪，错误地倾倒在了无辜的人身上。我不相信所有申花球迷都这样。蓝魔看台上的歌声、客场远征的坚守，是这座城市足球记忆里真金白银的部分。但正因为有真球迷，才更该把害群之马清理出去。足球是11个人的运动，球迷文化的底色却是每一个人。

十二 | 今天你纵容几个人围攻穿国家队球衣的孩子，明天你的孩子穿着喜欢的球衣进场，被人围着骂的就是他。申花0比3输国安，下一场能踢回来；中国足球不行，还能慢慢熬。但一个孩子因为热爱国家队而被成年人围攻——这种事若成常态，中国足球就真没救了，因为不会再有一个小孩愿意走进球场。对此你怎么看？是俱乐部对立吞噬了底线，还是我们早就习惯了把戾气甩给最弱的人？评论区聊聊。
