How about both are copy’s of London? Trucks are the untracable bombs of the modern terror scene. Gives a whole new meaning to scary…streets will be lined with bollards to keep trucks out of crowds
 
There have been several attacks by vehicle in Europe and England before Charlottesville. Barcelona is just the latest instance of the terrorist method du jour.

I agree. Remember Nice, France? Last year on Bastille Day?
 
Just horrible, horrible. May the souls of the decease rest in peace
 
Prevention is easy … but ignores:

Bollards … they even have retractable bollards.

Lists … “known to the authorities” … [Ship these people out? Nope.]

Bollards are steel things that stick up and block vehicles from passing.

Different sizes and shapes. And heights.

Scroll down for photos:

They started out many years ago being used on piers to tie ships up.

If you spend a little more, you can get them to retract into the ground.

So that people can freely walk around, but vehicles are blocked.

If you WANT the vehicles to drive through, then police can turn a key and retract them, as needed.

We have had them available for many years.

Here is an interesting book on general anti-terrorism:

The authors of Left of Boom have written other things … check with Amazon:

Douglas Laux & Ralph Pezzullo

Just retractable ones at the ends of key streets.

If you look, you will find bollards already installed to prevent trucks from being driven through the windows of buildings.

Okay. I have seen those. They might be necessary now to have them installed on
city streets.
