Federal authorities and the Boston Police Department are going to stage a “large-scale terrorist attack” drill tomorrow at Fenway Park.
The exercise is going to include realistic shooters who will let authorities practice how to respond when fans are caught between the police and terrorist. They were looking for 100 volunteers earlier this week to contact them with an e-mail address if they’reĀ interested in participating.
How do you imagine the authoritahs would react if an actual bad guy took advantage of the situation and found a spot to snipe from? How long before anyone would recognize what was actually happening and was in a position to do anything about it?
Fantasy questions, those are. All bad guys are far too stupid to think up anything like that, and it would be almost as challenging as making a couple of pressure cooker bombs and setting them off in downtown Boston.
This, and the one planned for Washington DC, is also designed to desensitize the general public to paramilitary operations on US soil.
They are worthless tests of readiness when everyone is forewarned. The only benefit is to gauge the capabilities of First Response Groups and the capacity of hospitals and ER’s. But I digress.
Anyone care to guess what the fake terrorist WON’T be yelling as they pretend to mow down those playing the fans watching a baseball game?
I suspect the body scanners will be set to identify dangerous Bible Carrying, Born Again Christians.
Truth be known, if an individual is willing to die to carry out an act of terrorism, he/she will more than likely succeed.
Given obama’s record of allowing thousands islamic terrorists to freely enter the US as refugees, it’s just a matter of when, not if.
Law enforcement, EMT’s, hospitals and first responders need practice to come in and pick up the pieces after the fact.
I was watching the Sox game earlier and they had a promo for tomorrow. They are calling it blanket picnic day or something like that, come in for free and watch the game live from Minnesota on the big screen. Absolutely no mention of the planned aloha snackbar target training.

Wow! How cheap.
Luring in free “Crisis Actors.”
That’s Low class. š
“Free” tickets to the unwashed masses of Chicago?
Shouldn’t be any more that 12 or 13 shooting from rival black thug & drug gangs. The EMTs and law enforcement will get plenty of practice.
Or maybe they’ll arrest those slugs that show up with warrants out for their arrest.
