If it was a bowl of super proportions there were local SWAT snipers in key positions, a buddy of mine was one of them.2farnorth wrote:A few years ago we attended a very large sporting event. 100 thousand+ people confined in a bowl. Only fire arms were possessed by the +/- 100 or so LEOs working the event security. All I saw were handguns on the LEOs. When we got to our seats I realized how vulnerable this unarmed crowd was. I won't describe the vulnerabilities that I observed but they were numerous. A crowd panic alone would probably kill 100s. I then realized that I actually saw the event better in front of my TV and I felt safer!
As mentioned, excellent thread. It definitely causes me to reassess my options/methods. I will be in Chicago on 9/11 and my wife and Mom are flying ORD to DFW that day, we have Faith and we will not live our lives in fear due to cowards that hide behind masks.
