In case you forgot (which I know you didn’t) there is always the possibility of some wicked person trying something just because he is Israeli. And if you dont think that it is a concern I beleive you both have your heads in the sand. I say that respectfully, though. I am not trying to cause a stir, but I do find it careless that you might consider what I said to be some sort of sarcastic joke.

I do not think it is funny nor do I think it is probable. I mearly think that it is more possible only because he is Jewish. Guys, there are some very evil people out there. I wish that the story of him being a “sniper” was not even wrote. I should say that Omri also denied the report and I beleive him.

With that all being said, I beleive nothing will probably happen and that has alot to do with the added security measures that were instituted after Sept. 11. For instance, before that, there were no security personal with metal detector wands at the turn style. When I went to the open practice a week ago, there were some and have been since 911. At the open practice they moved the security gaueds with the wands to the beginning of the ramp leading to the Arena which was 200’ away. That is the first time I remember not seeing them at the doors (though I must say I did not go to any games last year, which was the first year I didn’t since they were at the old Arco).

Also, I think it is very responsible to consider a potential problem and address it even though it is not comfortable. If you don’t think the Maloofs have considered this (though they would probably not agknowledge it), I think that is also misguided.

Nevertheless, I will be going to the game tonight against the Warriors and will more than likely not give this topic a single thought, while enjoying a probable Kings victory.

Sorry, if this offended anyone but I am not sorry I wrote what I did.
