There were snipers.

    For some reason, they appear to think they’re gonna get flamed for those pictures..

  2. Tam Says:

    I’m amazed that anybody’s surprised by this.

    Checked the roof at Neyland?

    Explains why Brady got sacked in the End Zone. Notice that little spurt of Astroturf by his feet? ; )

  4. Gerry Says:

    Super Bowl, World Series are bring everybody events.

    Most snipers spend lots of time scouting, very little shooting.

  5. Old NFO Says:

    There are snipers at most if not all major sporting events, even down to the college level… Just sayin…

  6. Hartley Says:

    Nobody on THIS side of the tracks is likely to be surprised, Tam — but I bet there are several millions of folks out there who just can’t imagine why such a thing might be needed, and who would/will react in outrage when they see those pictures..

    These are the same folks who would faint dead away if they watched their steaks or hamburgers being processed..

    I genuinely don’t appreciate being, even potentially, on the end with the hole in it just for the offense of showing up at a public event. Our law enforcement agencies have become paranoid if they think they can preempt all the crimes. And it’s expensive, too. This is my grandkids’ money, you bastards!

  8. Kristopher Says:

    They spend their time pointing binoculars at the crowd, not the rifle. The rifle only gets fingered fucked if they need to stop someone.

    They do need to consider suppressing it. A rifle report at a crowded stadium could start a panic.

    This is one of those bullshit scenarios out of fictional books… I somehow doubt the this sniper would be able to stop a terrorist much less one that is there for mass murder simply because there will be no warning…

    I remember that thread 🙂

  11. Mr Evilwrench Says:

    I know it’s binoculars, mostly, but the fact they’re sitting up there and I’m on the wrong end of… maybe a sniper rifle, just rubs me the wrong way.

  12. Like I Says:

    What are the ranges he would be engaging targets at? Looks like a lot of distance to be shooting from when innocent people are overwhelmingly present.

  13. Kristopher Says:

    A stadium is a big victim disarmament zone.

    Yes, I agree that the proper defense is individual carry … but failing that, you should have some kind of armed security there.

  14. Bob Owens Says:

    Despite the extreme angles, I saw no sign of a slope doper or any other device to help the shooter hit is actual target, instead of the guy above or below him.

    Not exactly comforting.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
