disturbing about watching the SS set up - when Obama spoke at ASU at one point before he arrived I noticed some people up behind the stage on both sides walking along with cases and I remember thinking "what's going on." Then they proceeded to set up high powered rifles pointing in multiple directions (including at us, if I recall correctly) and I thought "oh, shit, there are basically snipers up there!" It was one thing knowing stuff like that is usually done, it was another thing watching it in real time! It definitely felt weird watching it!
