Sunday: Drill to simulate terrorist attack on Greenwood Park Mall

[Bunnykid68]

Tagging for AAR...hopefully with videos...with Benny Hill music...and BK in bunny slippers.

Help, help I am being repressed

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Help, help I am being repressed

Say it again...

Only this time with more feeling...like with a boot on your neck and a bunny slipper shoved up your ***.

lol....

Not going anywhere close to Greenwood tomorrow.

 

[Bennettjh]

We have plans in Indy tomorrow so my GF said she needs to stop at Macy's and get some clothes. We should be out of there by the time the simulation starts.

 

[Bravo-4-2]

Great....every gun bubba in Central Indiana will be there trying to get attention.

So you'll be there I take it?

It won't start until after the mall is closed.

 

[Suprtek]

Wow! They were really trying to be realistic! They even took INGO down!!

I just left the Mall. Sears actually. No one said a thing about my OC. Heck, I didn't get a look from the hundreds of LEOs.
It was tough getting out. I had to go over to Co. Line Rd. No way I was getting out at the Madison light. Cars lined up out of sight.
I'd rather have the locals do the Keystone Cops now than in a real situation.
Thanks for the time and training put in guys.

I got here at 5. Still waiting for it to kick off. I've already lodged my complaint with the Feebs about shutting INGO down.

Thanks for sticking up for us little guys, Frank!

Maybe they'll listen to you.

Don't listen to other INGO'ers, Frank is 5'2 in high heels.

I'm crying "Foul". What happens in Vegas......Stays in Vegas.

 

[Trigger Time]

I was asked to volunteer for this. I honestly forgot about it but you all have fun watching the FBI pretend to save the day. It should be for good entertainment. Hup hup hup hup hup hup

I call BS. I've done a ride along. He's definitely 5'8" without high heels.

It wasn't in Vegas. It was Shelbyville.

I really hope there's video of this.

No particular issue with LEO's holding a simulation on how to respond to a terrorist attack at a mall. Aids in knowing the layout, etc.

But, what does this do to prevent a terrorist attack at a mall?

Unless it's a coincidence that an LEO is there shopping, OR unless the malls intend to have LEO's patrolling the mall during all open hours, the MOST likely scenario is that the 'first armed responders' to such an incident are going to be armed civilians.

How should those armed civilians respond? We won't know as the malls do nothing to address that most likely scenario. Perhaps that's an area where training should be focused. But, it is consistently, utterly ignored and the 'solution' is merely to stick up 'GFZ' signs as though that's going to solve the problem or prevent the next James Holmes from walking in and shooting up the place.

You know, exactly like Holmes did at that 'GFZ' Century Theater in Aurora, CO.

UNTIL the malls, theaters, etc. implement civilian programs and address the most likely scenarios, this is all, really, just 'feel good' measures.

I am sooooo glad I am off tonight and not a part of that gigantic cluster %^&(

 

[hornadylnl]

What makes it a guaranteed cluster **** if the FBI is running the show but not the locals?

I doubt the focus will be on stopping an active threat, but more of a "what to do after the bomb goes off."

They will probably be training to secure the perimeter, evac the injured, de-contaminate, etc.
