"Two officers from an elite coast guard unit were seriously injured during an Olympics security exercise Friday after a gun fired accidentally."
"The officers were injured in the security drill at the main port of Piraeus, the merchant marine ministry said. They were hospitalized with wounds to the neck and shoulder, a ministry spokeswoman said."
" 'The gun fired ... while the officers were having a break during a routine exercise,' a statement said, adding that an inquiry has been ordered."
------- If these "stellar professionals" can't even take responsibility for their negligent discharge, how will they protect the disarmed audiences at the Olympic games? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
