    this is the monthly post of someone realizing that crowds of people in public venues, particularly large ones, draw snipers.

    Love to see it.

      Well yes, I knew that snipers are routinely deployed at large crowds. That is why this is posted here.

        i think you should post again but this time include all events this year that have had snipers at them, would be a fun little game of statistics i think.

          Are you saying that it is not dystopic? or it’s not comonplace enough to be boring?
          I’m glad we dont have/need (probably can’t afford) that shit where i live.
          Do they have them at sports events and carnivals, music festivals and stuff like that too?

            i’m just saying that this is really common, and i’ve seen it like 4 times the last few years.

            It’s pretty dystopian, but so is everything. There is nothing that isn’t dystopian in life lmao.

            Homie they build sniper nests in stadiums. This is a pretty commonly done thing. I’d be surprised if they weren’t at the majority of large events that ever happened.

              That does sound crazy.
              I’ll not complain so much about the odd bag checking queue and occasional half hearted patdown/grope we get over here any more.

                lol, yeah it’s definitely something. It’s nothing compared to the TSA though, which is a such a blight on humanity it’s done less than letting a horny 12 year old work the job solo instead lmao.
