Nice! :seasix:

and you don't think this will turn political? :rofl:

Well Skia, you wouldn't have to move my threads if the same two or three jerks didn't politicize every single thread I post. :cert:

Would make me feel safer to know he's there in a situation like that.

I don't get it, what's the story? :confused5:

the OP pic is unique. most, including myself appreciate the post...

but, add this:

Kind of sad that is necessary.

and it's political.

don't think for a second 'coool is some innocent bystander. he loves to drop bombs and sit back and watch the melee. :cert:

Hope you don't think the Superbowl is the only high profile event where Sierra Teams are embedded. :yesnod:

I had them on the lookout for you, Issues and Island boy for all the late night shit you put me through. :D

This.

[joecaver]

The planners would have been remiss if they hadn't included that kind of prep.

[Torqaholic]

Better have one at every compass point. Not much field of view there.

[Giraffe (He/Him)]

Good grief.

[Sea Six]

Gee, do you think they thought of that?

[burtonbl103]

WOW

[Torqaholic]

Gee, do you think they thought of that?

Advertising your position to potential targets isn't done so it's a safe bet the shooter's not the one doing the thinking here. Considering that some idiot is making the decisions I'd feel somewhat assured in guessing no.

[Iron Chef]

and you don't think this will turn political?

I'd strongly advise against it.

[mrvette]

What am I missing here?? just what are they going to accomplish? , they going after any gunman looking to shoot someone important? like who??

all the dignitaries have their own viewing box with glass in front, NO?? looks like he/that gun was above or in the box with them, possible to scan the crowd for anyone on opposite side of field, he can see them good as any attacker can see the folks in the box...NO??

Was a bunch of Politicians in attendance?? not sure anyone else would warrant that kind of high level security.....


:dance::waiting:

[simpleman68]

Who was the target? :bigears:

Brady :leaving:
Scott

[Torqaholic]

Could be handy for a suicide bomber holding hostages with demands. Terrorists have been known to use the tactic. They're also rather fond of media coverage to generate fear in a wider audience.

[Meeko87]

Well that explains all the injuries on the field.

I can promise you that a few items were removed before that picture was taken. :yesnod:

Imagine sitting in your seat with a set of binocs looking around the stadium. You can't believe your actually at the SB.
You look up and see someone scoping you... and he's smiling. :eek: :ohnoes:

[Stangkiller]

For an event like this, with all the planning going into it, I wonder if they set up a back stop and took a few shots, from those vantage points, in the weeks leading up to the big game.

I was kinda thinking along these same lines...If he pops someone with that round, how many others is he going to injure as the projectile passes through the original target??

Rounds for that setting aren't designed to pass through the intended target.

[vtelvr]

Makes sense...I guess I'm just not familiar with the ballistics and all.

You are correct! From Deadspin: a custom Remington M700 in an XLR chassis, with a U.S. Optics scope and mounted on an Alamo Four Star DCLW tripod.

Measles patient attended Super Bowl village, health officials warn

February 9, 2012 10:00 AM

(CBS) New York Giants' fans may still be experiencing Super Bowl fever from their big win, but for some people who were at the game, there may be a real risk of developing Super Bowl measles.

Indiana health officials have announced that some of the estimated 200,000 visitors to the Super Bowl village last Friday in Indianapolis may have been exposed to highly contagious measles, after a report that a man who had the disease attended the festivities, WISH-TV in Indianapolis, reported.

The Indiana State Department of Health said two cases of measles have been confirmed in the state, but would not confirm which of the infected persons visited the festivities. It did say however that he or she did not attend the "NFL Experience" at the Indiana Convention Center.

The department said it notified the CDC and health departments in New York and Massachusetts, but it could be a week before new cases of measles pop up from that exposure, the Associated Press reported.

Measles is extremely contagious, spreading easily through the air - infected droplets can linger for up to two hours in closed spaces. It typically causes rashes, fever, muscle pain, pink eye, and sore throat. There is no treatment but rest and pain meds can help. The disease can lead to potentially fatal complications like pneumonia or encephalitis.

The CDC declared measles "eliminated" in 2000, due in large part to the MMR vaccine, but as more parents are skipping vaccines over autism fears, the U.S. has seen an uptick in cases. From January 1 through June 17 this year, 156 confirmed cases of measles were reported to CDC -mostly from people who traveled abroad - the highest number since in 1996, HealthPop reported.

According to the CDC, if one person has measles, 90 percent of the close to them who aren't immunized will catch it.

"Even if you don't have symptoms, it's a reminder to make sure all your immunizations are up to date," Greg Larkin, the Indiana state health commissioner, told the AP. "And, it's a reminder to wash your hands and stay home from work if you're feeling sick."

State health officials say people who are sick and think they are at risk should call their doctor immediately.

A law needs to be passed requiring immunizations. These dumb asses put all of society at risk over a belief that has been repeatedly debunked.

Not really sad, in other coutries the are less humane to assholes at football games. They use clubs and mace.

That's the spirit. :hurray:










Wait a second. I just thought of something.

Aren't they only putting themselves, along with the other dumbasses that haven't gotten themselves immunized, at risk?

'Cause those of us smart enough to properly research the subject will be good to go, and those who fall prey to junk science articles will weed themselves out of the gene pool. :dunno:




I'm conflicted between forcing people to do what I feel is the right thing, and allowing free choice. :willy:

Careful, Phil. The mods seem pretty serious about nobody politicizing this thread. Myself, I'm a little nervous about the reply I made even though it was directly responding to your own comment.

[NEVRL8T]

Why does it have to be "black" sunday? Why not "red" sunday or "yellow" sunday?

Hollywood are a bunch of racists. :D

Because the Steelers were playing? :D


Actually it refers to Black September.
