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.

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.

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.

Plainly nothing. But that's a special kind of hell I'm very familiar with, so I won't judge him for it.
