    A needless inaccurate distinction obscuring what it really is, it is a sniper. It is not normal. These crowds existed before the snipers arrived and will exist long after the protests end.

      Are they also not the students from the school? So they would have been on campus but not all in one place anyway.

        Again with pointless and needless distinctions that attempt to lessen the sin being committed.

          Umm, I think you have my point backwards… unless you are implying the protesters are sinners?

            I’m saying it doesn’t matter if the people at the protest went to school there or not, that the sniper isn’t warranted, but I do apologize that in a heated moment I accused you of intentionally aiding the opposition.

              Oh, no worries. I was confused but I don’t think I made my point clear. It was just adding on the ridiculous notion that a large amount of people means snipers for some reason, these people from what I can see would be on campus anyway and the only difference I can see from say 3 months ago would be the political protests.

      I’m not trying to obfuscate anything. The job title of a “sniper” is “marksman”.

      A marksman is basically a highly accurate Rifleman which is a type of infantry.

      This is all military shit.

      “Sniper” is just a more commonly used term for a marksman, but they’re exactly the same thing.

      The only point to my comment is that you seemed to think that the commenter saying it was a marksman meant it wasn’t a sniper. They’re literally the same job.
