    @ Kyle I believe it’s a Remington MSR.

    Anyone see The Last Boy Scout with Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans? If you haven’t fast forward to the end…stadium snipers!

    U of T -1966, Charles Whitman, with his 6mm Rem. 700. He had a brain tumor and suffered mental delusions. A person who fell through the cracks of our mental health system. Flash-forward to 2011, Jared Loughner shot a massive number of people in AZ. Another example of someone who fell though the cracks of our mental health system. They weren’t terrorists in the Islamic sense. The measures detailed in this link never prevent or prove to be a deterrent. You can never stop/deter/prevent a crazed shooter. These snipers won’t be shooting at a lone bomber either. Nice to have, but the presence doesn’t make me feel any safer. NYPD ESU is at every Yankee game in the Bronx. There are ESU fellows prowling the subways in the all the transit hubs. I appreciate what they do. Not every situation in life needs to be approached like a hammer to a nail.

    Those mounts are very steady, but they don’t look like you can move them around very easy to follow a moving target. Rarely do targets stay in one place when inflicting casualties.

    Bo, while it only took the life of the bomber, I’d point you to the incident at the University of Oklahoma on October 1, 2005. A student attempted to enter the stadium during a football game with a homemade IED. He was apparently deterred by the bag checks at the entrance. He detonated on a bench just outside. It’s unclear if the explosion was accidental or suicidal. Had he been able to dodge the bag checks (I know, I know—what a waste of money and where will we be in twenty years?) or simply detonated in the crowd outside, the results would have been catastrophic.

    Oh, and you won’t mind those, “.308 rounds…whistling down”, if they are saving your life from some crazy sob intent on killing you.

    Bo don’t know security! Bo, your comment is gibberish.

    1. There have always been a few crazies out there that dream of taking out large numbers of people in a crowded venue like a stadium. Think University of Texas in 1966. Imagine if that guy targeted a stadium instead. The death toll would have been MUCH higher.
    2. The only thing that has changed is that we have become more vigilant and prepared. The terrorists have opened our eyes to the need to be better prepared for threats that have existed for decades.
    3. The America of the “good ole days” you fantasize about wasn’t any more secure. In fact it was more dangerous and scary. The difference now is that you/we can prepare for an isolated terrorist attack or crazed shooter. Where before there was no need to prepare. There was no adequate preparation for nuclear annihilation.

    Troubling that the America I’ve lived in for 62 years has come to this. Look into the future another ten or twenty years……where do you think we’ll be? This is somewhat a waste of taxpayer money too. What events have taken place that have taken multiple human lives in America today? Any at a stadium? I certainly wouldn’t want to be in that stadium crowd when .308 rounds are whistling down around me.

    Really interesting story with some great images.
    Personally I would feel a lot better knowing I had guys like this watching over me while at a large public event.
    I wonder to what extent this kind of protection will be deployed at the upcoming London Olympics?
