Lockdown in London: Ex-U.S. Athlete Jules Boykoff on Olympic Censorship and Militarization

3. Is there any serious threat to the maintenance of the government? Wow, missiles on roof tops!

That was probably the most bizarre part of this whole set-up. It would seem they would announce there was a terrorist threat of some kind in the offing, to make the public agree. I have not heard one thing in the media about WHY they did that.

It doesn't even sound practical. You don't fire missiles inside of cities unless you're at war. They returned fire in WW2 at the German planes bombing them, so it's not like London was never attacked or had to defend itself. There is no such threat.

And you don't play wargames just anywhere, it dangerous and things can go wrong. Who would they aim at in such a crowded location, what in the world do they expect?
