Yeah, cuz thrice-weekly mass shootings are a US thing. I'm not getting into a chicken-and-egg circkejerk with anyone about which came first, but as long as "we the people" are gonna keep shooting large gatherings of our fellow citizens...especially if we think they disagree with us, then any controversial or highly public event is gonna be crawling with armed police...including snipers.
Honestly, I'd have snipers at any large gathering. Mass shootings/stabbings/drivings/bombings have recently taken place in Europe, Russia, and other parts of the world. It's good to have security when there are tens or hundreds of thousands of people gathered in a place (eg, the Olympics, mega concerts, wtc)
