I have no idea what images you’ve seen, but not only do I know exactly where that IU sniper is standing, I can tell you for a fact that is not normal because I used to go up there when I was a student to smoke weed since they never locked the door.
I don’t think I would have gone up there with friends to smoke weed if there was a cop with a sniper rifle stationed there. Not even when there were protests going on where that protester is pointing his gun.
Yeah if that’s true you should probably be more mad not less. Having a sword of Damocles dangling precariously overhead for otherwise powerless students exercising what should be a fairly mundane democratic function of solidarity really shouldn’t be “business as usual” for any country.
Europe does this regularly too. It came to mainstream knowledge when a protestor parachuted into the Germany - France euro match in 2020. People watching the spectacle noticed a sniper in the very top area over looking the stadium. When this broke in the news they said that snipers are regularly at events that large. They are anti-terrorism measures, according to the EU.

I believe they are referring to images like the Super Bowl sniper overwatch and parades having sniper support.
It’s a recent perception change in America. We have guns or cameras watching everything we do.
What do you do for work mr squid?
Currently? Working on getting a good intensive behavioral therapy facility so I can eat again, why?
Just curious you’re in like every single thread with multiple comments lol
That’s what happens when you are seriously ill with a lot of time on your hands.
Hope you get better buddy
Thanks!
Plainly nothing. But that’s a special kind of hell I’m very familiar with, so I won’t judge him for it.
Yeah it makes sense, lemmy is his job lol

If you don’t care, then can it. Yes it’s an us problem, and we care.
