Snipers For Concerts? Jonathan Gilliam Makes His Case

Pollstar: Jonathan Gilliam has gone on the record that it is time for concerts to start thinking like the NFL and include law enforcement snipers and/or spotters.

This may seem extreme – if maybe less so after the events in Las Vegas – but Gilliam talked to Pollstar to make the case that it is a simple advancement, with no repercussions from the fans. Gilliam’s bio is at the bottom of the interview but it reads like Bruce Willis’s entire career: He has been a police officer, a SEAL, a DHS consultant, a Federal Air Marshal, an FBI Special Agent in charge of coordinating large events and their threat assessments, and has been seen on television news programs more than 1,000 times. He hosts his own Facebook TV show called “The Experts.”
