I always had assumed that the Security Forces and SAS were armed; however, since they didn't do a damned thing about this terrible breach of security, I began to wonder IF they had also been unarmed recently.

I used to be a gigantic Anglophile, have been to England many times over, my oldest friend lives there, but I'll NEVER go back there again...that nation is toast!

Unarmed snipers are over paid.

Again...

Where was the Secret Service?

[Ozark Tom]

Just like the Sheriffs Department of Parkland, Florida holding pattern, in which they also just watched as the event unfolded.

I lived there for a year in '89/'90. I got so rooted to the place, that I was seriously considering legally emigrating there.

I truly loved the land and its people, but in the end, I chose to come home to the USA.

It was one of the most fortuitous decisions I ever made.
