Graham Colson, an area resident for 15+ years who has been to Keene Pumpkin Fest for just as long, said the presence of snipers was unprecedented. He was able to take the above image of a two person sniper team on the rooftop of the Keene Apartments building overlooking Roxbury & Central Square earlier today.

Keene Law Enforcer walks in front of traffic to avoid question about Pumpkin Fest Snipers
In the video below, Garret Ean of Keene Peaceful Streets asks Jason Short a question about the mysterious sniper teams atop city rooftops during the Pumpkin Fest celebration earlier in the day. To avoid answering this simple question Officer Short does something both illegal and dangerous.

..saw the same thing back in April 2009 at Morristown NJ TP gathering at the mall...they were positioned on top of an office building....
Just a hint of what is to become common under El-Presidente.
They probably had orders to look for Tea Party Members or those holding Gadsden Flags.
Perhaps the term “sniper team” is not correct. The armed officers are observing the gathering from a vantage not possible on the ground.

That’s what snipers do.
Then why are they armed w/ a rifle? If the mission was to observe then binos/telescope/camera would be in order.
Next question...why would you need such a setup at a pumpkin festival?

Or ‘policing’ their own area.
Couple of years ago I was at a fuel/rest stop and took some accumulated trash (empty coffee cup and food wrapper) from the cab of my truck to the nearby trash bin and deposited it.
A guy with a broom and long handled ‘dust pan’ came over and thanked me -
I told him if everyone was anywhere near being like me, he would be out of a job.
Without ‘pigs’ and unthoughtful people, they would have no use for him.
He then ‘scolded’ me for depositing my own little bag of trash.
Of course that is ‘Liberal’ justification for being trashy, ‘I will just knock someone out of a ‘job’or - let him get it, that is what he is getting paid for’.

Because jack o lanterns can be very scary.
Yeah, just because there is a long gun on a bipod in front of them, a spotter scope to the right, and a range card conveniently taped to the knee wall doesn’t NECESSARILY mean they are a sniper team.
However, it might be “a clue”.
“Perhaps the term sniper team is not correct. The armed officers are observing the gathering from a vantage not possible on the ground.”
And the .50 cal laying at their feet is for what?
Welcome to Communist America.
Pray America is waking up
My guess is they may have had reports of a possible shooter, so they are armed and ready.
Thats what snipers do.
Exactly. With scoped rifles handy.
Then why are they being evasive in answering questions?

O/T and training? The ‘training’ part bothers me.
“My guess is they may have had reports of a possible shooter, so they are armed and ready.”
I just heard a “report” of a possible shooter near your house. I think they should surround your house with sniper teams on tall buildings, with rifles and pictures of your house and property with all the ranges filled in, just in case.
