I've heard there are snipers at major baseball and football games. I don't attend, but what do you think?

I don't watch their sports, but it's funny how woke professional sports players push anti-gun rhetoric for you but have snipers for them and some people take them serious. Clearly they see their fans as second class citizens, you know like slaves that that have lesser rights such as 3/5th of a vote. They get to have guns, but no not you... You're a lesser being peasant, shut up and go pick my cotton for my football jersey and when you're done buy some season tickets. Anyone that still attends professional sports is a pathetic loser.
I didn't know that there were snipers at major events. Or I never thought about it.
I doesn't bother me in the least, though. It's a good idea to have protective security.
I hope they are more competent than the US Secret Service at Trump rallies.
friend of a friend saw them at the Mets game, first time seen. maybe new addition to security.
agree, hope they have strict rules for hiring and for firing. talk about ability to make a bad mistake..
Years ago, I used to campaign for and rally with political candidates in the Philippines before I returned to my homeland, USA.
At one point, I actually pulled strings to acquire the services of Blackwater Professionals to protect my candidates and the rest of their entourage.
very cool. probably been around a long time. Thing is... how do the snipers know the other snipers are legit? seems like a tangled web to me. Is there a certification for snipers? how you know they are on your side and not a double agent? I'd bet there ain't no certified Afghani snipers in USA.
Have Americans ever thought about changing their beliefs so that rows of snipers aren't needed?
What's stopping these snipers from opening fire on the crowd?
What's stopping everyone from playing bumper cars on the highway other than some magical dotted white line forcefields?
They don't want their own car wrecked.
Having security measures such as snipers at major events can enhance safety, providing a sense of security for attendees. Knowing there are trained professionals prepared to handle potential threats may allow attendees to focus on enjoying the event. It's a security measure that reflects careful planning to protect large gatherings, ensuring a safe environment.

The fact that anyone finds comfort in a bunch of men with guns shows just how completely fucked up our society is, and that we're our own worst enemies.
It's a pointless cost as they can do very little in most crowd situations. You would be better to spend the same cash to get 4 extra guards patting down at the gates.
I'd want them to be well trained, if I'm a major political figure, that opponents will try to kill
good point... that wouldn't go well. Didn't go well for JFK did it...
I probably wouldn't attend an event with snipers. If that's what this world has come to then I'm staying home.
check before you spend a lot of $ on expensive tickets.
They should be invisible, otherwise I think it's fear mongering
well seeing the past incidents with trump... feel ling having a sniper is beneficial.
Less. I dont want some jackass looking at me through a scope.
How often do professional snipers accidentally kill people at major events? Probably not completely unheard of but I rather take my chances with a professional vs. a terrorist who feels safe at a mass event.
I said comforting…BUT big if…if there are this many guns in America and we’re also not providing the healthcare…then yes having trained snipers is good.
I'm Australian ,
and I certainly DO NOT want snipers at our major events , no thank you , its an obvious extension of gun lobby power.. Never EVER EVER.
Don't really know how true that is as I haven't heard anything about it but it wouldn't bother me none.

Counter snipers...
It depends if they were put there to kill Trump supporters.
yea, is there a political test... more liberals are getting armed and they are easily triggered. would they shoot off a maga hat if they could? probably.
I'd rather build bigger prisons, but until then, I guess it has to be this way.
As a non-american I be worried when I'm in a gun free zone because I know that a mass shooter always goes where no one can shoot back.
I never thought about this but I guess it makes me feel comforted
indifferent. It's not like they're going to shoot me unless i'm a wanted or suspicious suspect.
They're there. At least here in NY. I think it's great. Cheap insurance policy tbh.
As long as they are the good guys I'm fine with it.
It's simply the smart thing to do.
I don't care one way or the other.
Rather indifferent really.
Snipersssss
