    It’s just that I have seen a lot of images of it being done in the USA.

      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.

      Yeah if that’s true you should probably be more mad not less. Having a sword of Damocles dangling precariously overhead for otherwise powerless students exercising what should be a fairly mundane democratic function of solidarity really shouldn’t be “business as usual” for any country.

        I don’t have the energy to be more mad. It doesn’t matter for me and in the end I don’t really care .

        It’s a you (USA) problem.
