April 15 is the third anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings, and the area is getting ready for this year’s run, which takes place on Monday (Patriots’ Day, the third Monday in April). Given the terrible attacks of 2013, anti-jihad precautions are now a big part of the world’s oldest annual marathon

One of the effects of unwise immigration (particularly admitting millions of historic enemies) is Security Strangled Sports on the occasion of major events like big-city marathons and the Super Bowl. The price tag for extra protection has exploded; for example San Francisco’s police overtime for this year’s Super Bowl was $3 million, and that’s just one item in a long list of more than 20 local, state and federal agencies taking part in security efforts.

The 2012 London Olympics cost $2 billion for security, and safety measures included surface-to-air rocket batteries installed on the roofs of nearby apartment buildings.

Diversity doesn’t come cheap, especially with open borders and Islam immigration.

One precaution being taken for this year’s Boston race has been low-flying helicopter sweeps to detect any unusual levels of radiation which could indicate a dirty bomb. Interestingly, the same sort of chopper checks were flown for the Super Bowl last winter also.
