How about “Sum of all fears”
Open air stadiums, millions of drones in this country, what can go wrong?
The NFL is arguably less prepared than they were, to deal with something like this right now, since some of their players seem bent on making themselves an issue/enemy of the police.
Stories out of Miami right now are that both on and off duty police who normally attended games to assist with security are no longer interested in the assignments. Could be likely in other places as well.
The only good news is there seems to be less fans in attendance right now as well.
Sounds like a good book that raises some serious questions.
We need to take seriously the way we are manipulated. Consider two examples:
Fred Hampton.
Oscar Lopez.
I frequented the Black Panthers office in the A A Sammy Rayner Funeral Home business (a couple blocks from my house). My experience with the Chicago Black Panthers is not at all what States Attorney Hanrahan successfully sold to the media ... and to gullible conservatives.
The ATF blatantly tried to get me to frame Oscar Lopez and were not shy is stating it was at the request of Congressman Dan Rostenkowski, who controlled their budget, and that it was a politically motivated operation that had zero to do with law enforcement and everything to do with Rosty fearing loss in a future election.
Most of Oscar’s activity was in Chicago. Yet he was convicted for events in New York. Having first hand experience of the attempt to frame him, I am suspicious of the New York case. Many FReepers conveniently swallow the line of BS they are fed about Oscar Lopez.
And yes, it happens on the other side also. I’m still not clear what “bad” thing Clive Bundy did other than piss off the Feds.
The way the stadiums are emptying it would be a difficult task.
Was there a book and a movie about a terror at a football stadium call “Black Sunday”?
I refuse to be in large crowds. I was in a crowd leaving a football game in high school when somebody discharged a tear gas pen into the knot of people leaving by an automobile-wide gate. A tear gas pen cartridge is a ridiculously small amount of gas. We could have all held our breath and walked away. The crowd panicked. People were hurt. That was just thirty or forty people. Imagine two or three thousand. I have seen other crowd panics. For somebody caught in it, it can be fatal. If somebody wants to attend a rock concert or a football event, fine. But they need to know what to do and where to head when the crowd turns into a lethal stampede.
As we head deeper into the century that will define religious conflict, the danger of crowds grows because terrorists can use a crowd to magnify smaller acts into major slaughters. I am not advocating the abolishment of stadiums or concerts. I just refuse to take the chance.
Thanks for all the invaluable work you do, Travis.
You are an inspiration. Keep it up!
Thanks Matt.
I thought of you as soon as I heard about LV

A government that would turn over 1/5 of its strategic uranium reserves over to a hostile country that has 1000’s of nuclear tipped missiles targeting that government’s major cities, a government that would use its tax-collecting agencies as a political enforcement tool, a government that would use it’s secret police to attempt to overturn a democratically elected President is a government that will do anything.
If the US Government wants a stadium massacre then it shall have one. And there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it.
P.S.
Matt Bracken is a prophet. Read “Enemies Foreign & Domestic” trilogy.

>>I refuse to be in large crowds.
I am pretty averse to large crowds as well - not because I have a fear of them, just intellectually understand how quickly things can go badly in almost any situation, and when you are packed in like sardines it makes an evasive or survival moves pretty hard to do.
I am am not just talking about terror attacks, but also fires, sudden riots etc - having watched people get trampled to death in panic situations really makes you think twice about needlessly putting yourself in those situations - besides, I rather be out in the middle of the forest by myself or with my dog on just about any given day.
Won’t be many fans left for them to attack......
“besides, I rather be out in the middle of the forest by myself or with my dog on just about any given day.”
Yep. I experience no joy surrounded by people I don’t know. I live on six acres in the middle of deep woods. No dog, but I am generally being followed by two cats. And, like you, I don’t fear crowds. I just know what they are in panic mode and that mode is just below the surface.
What will most likely happen will be the placement of sniper shooters on the roof tops of sports stadiums in the near future.
On Any Given Sunday? I doubt it...
