Even if one is a sports aficionado, sports stadiums may now be a place to avoid.
Federal law enforcement has stopped several or numerous (???, they are not going to share the real truth with the public) migrants illegally entering the U.S. who are on watch lists. These individuals may just be from countries who hate America, or they could be those who have evidenced suspicious activism in years past. The number of people stopped is by definition a small sampling due to the tidal wave of undocumented migrants.
The FBI has come out and said that America is in a state wherein we are at significant risk of a terrorist attack. Due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East (beginning 7th Oct. 2023) and the very real possibility that that conflict could envelop that entire region, the level of hatred for the United States around this planet, our open borders, and the reality of ongoing massive smuggling operations, it is VERY possible -- if not overtly likely -- that there will be a terrorist attack against our nation within our nation's borders in the coming year. Think about the tens of thousands of people who gather in sports stadiums. If that's not a ripe target, I don't know what is. It is a certainty that Federal agencies are doing their best to prevent such attacks; however, their mission is nigh unto impossible to bring about. I wouldn't want their job.
In Europe, migrant criminal gangs are smuggling-in machine-guns and hand grenades. Look at what is happening in Sweden as but one example. In the Middle East, heavy mortars, RPGs, recoilless rifles (i.e. light artillery), ... on and on, are regular black market trade items. Think about all of the cargo ships bringing-in millions of tons of large containers. Think about all of the trucks coming in from south of our border. One can only search a mere fraction of that.
Not that I've ever been big on attending big events, I sure wouldn't be attending any mass gatherings in the here and now. Currently on Earth, pure evil is out and about. I'm a lazy non-paranoid kind of guy and I'm saying this.
Side note: If I need something from there, I will continue to go to WalMart ... one might get to see a sampling of the "interesting" people
. I keep hand sanitizer in my car.
Too, I'm not going to let crazies spoil life's fun. Just going to be careful.
