Beijing picks sharpshooters to handle riots, kidnappings during Olympics
BEIJING -- China has chosen 30 crack sharpshooters for the 2008 Beijing Olympics -- not to compete, but to guard the games.
The announcement Friday by state media adds to Chinese efforts to assure tourists and foreign competitors of organizers' elaborate preparations to prevent terrorism and crime at the Games.

Well, at least somebody is getting serious about terrorists at the Olympic Games. Too bad they didn't have something like this in place in Munich years ago when the Israeli athletes were murdered by Palestinian cowards.

Yeah, but will they have the balls to drop the hammer?
At any rate...it sounds like the Mao's have their proverbial doo doo together. Can you imagine doing something like that here in the states???
BTW...I was quite young when the Israeli athletes were murdered by that filthy, muslim trash. It left a lasting impression that has only been reinforced, over the years, as muslims continue to be a scourge on civilization.
I have yet to see a single, redemtive quality forthcoming from the muslims. Mostly, all I have seen, over the years, is murder and destruction.

Interesting--they don't have to kill rioters, but to do anything less to a terrorist is unconscionable.
I understand that the Israelis have a unique manner of dealing with arab demonstrators---before things get too far out of hand, they have a hidden sharpshooter with a suppressed .22LR shoot the cheerleader in the balls. OUCH!! Shuts the demonstrations down real quick. Ya might say it takes the starch out of 'is shorts!!
It is supposed to be a 60 gr. subsonic from what I heard. Sort of like when we were kids and bb tag was the game of the day. At least no one should lose an eye the way the Israelis are doing it.

I pinged my little brother with a bb once and I got the whipping of my life.

As far as I know, the suppressed .22LR has been pretty much discontinued for riot control by the Israeli forces, simply because it proved to be too deadly. (What doesn't kill you fast may still kill you after three days in the hospital.)

Well, they (China) machinegunned 3000-5000 peacefull protesters in Tienimen square .
I kinda,sorta, think they would "drop the hammer" on a terrorist.
But, maybe Im being too judgemental.
