Excellent Security For the Win!

The scariest thing about this latest protester is...

See the woman with the legs in the front row, and the man on her left?*  That's the owner Glen Taylor and his younger wife, with the quick reactions who turns around to see where the person came from, while he appears slower to react...

I'm not sure that the person was trying to run on the court so much as confront the Taylors?  The security person on the right of the screen reacts the instant the person rises from the seat behind the Taylors, it seems and drags the person onto the court.   Tackled and taken off like a dummy.

Still, look at how close the person got, and you wonder if Mrs. Taylor had body contact (looks like it) and realized the harm that might have been done...  #Prayers up.

* I recognize them from their front-row seats at the Lynx games.  They come to all the games, except on their religious holidays, I think.  Those must be security people surrounding them in black, but look at how close the person got, presumably by purchasing an expensive courtside seat?  #GoodWorkSecurityTeam

ADDED:  The protesters at these games are angered at the way poultry with Avian Flu have been put down.  Worker plug up the ventilation ducts at the mass factory farms, and turn up the heat, so the creatures suffocate and bake to death.  Sometimes they pump in carbon dioxide too, to help the animals die in under an hour, at least.  Any survivors in lower crates, or under the carcasses are dispatched with gunshots, as workers later go in to ensure they are all dead.

It's not humane, and there are other ways to kill these animals, but this is the most efficient, and once infected, all of them need to die. It's like like Covid in animals*, meet the Holocaust death chambers.  Animal activists are the most passionate, it seems.  Then, after the animals are killed, a lot of workers lose their jobs.  Glen Taylor's business holdings include factory farms.  He's a good man though, does a lot for the community, and worked his way up to where he's at.

I wish there were a more humane way to ensure the flock does not spread the disease, because I think Glen would spend the money if there were another way just as efficient at killing them.  This is not how you protest and bring about change though.  If we give the issue attention, at least, maybe they can argue their case in newspapers and the public eye, instead of threatening the owners' safety or doing silly things like gluing themselves to the floor (which didn't work) or chaining themselves to the stanchion.  That disrupts the game, and makes the crowd HATE them...

We really don't need any more hate today, and nobody wants to see animals put down like that, but...**

* Hogs too.

** Sam Krouse, vice president of Indiana-based MPS Egg Farms, said farmers feel miserable about using any of the options.

“We pour our lives and livelihoods into taking care of those birds, and it’s just devastating when we lose any of those birds,” Krouse said. “Everything that we’re doing every day is focused on keeping the disease out and making sure that we’re keeping our hens as safe as possible.”

Officials emphasize that this virus that’s spread primarily through the droppings of infected wild birds doesn’t threaten food safety or represent a significant public health threat. Sick birds aren’t allowed into the food supply and properly cooking poultry and eggs kills any viruses that might be present. And health officials say no human cases of bird flu have been found in the United States during this current outbreak.
