Possible snipers seen at OSU. Administration says they're not snipers but should be treated like they are. (midwest.social)

I don't know why but this amuses me. An amateur can easily hit a target at 200 yards the size of a baseball using a 6.5 Creedmore. These snipers are extremely visible and exposed. I'm guessing an attacker or a mass shooter would probably not be thinking about taking out snipers though.

I think they felt safe and being seen was the point.

True, I guess the point is to make a show of it

They are visible on purpose. They're there as a message
