So, if I saw a man pointing a rifle at me at a public outing and took defensive action....
....would it be held against me? Why not use the binos until needed? |

Should have done it without people in the stadium. Should have a spotting scope on a tripod. At bare minimum shouldn't have taken glamour shots and put them on Facebook. The gun also won't depress without having to lose sight picture because that rail is in the way. |

He probably had a small sector to scan and others had the rest. It wouldn't surprise me if there were 20 shooters covering the game, USAF jets patrolling or on standby, and SF/Delta on standby just in case something happened.

Having seen some of the planning going into security for the 2010 Superbowl, it's amazing that it even happens every year. I have no problem with snipers at sporting events. I have a problem with a guy posting pictures of it online so that a bunch of people can get their panties in a wad over it. |
