Those odd-looking security barriers

They have to place such things in public now? How terribly saddening. I doubt many people will enjoy taking a stroll through what feels like a high-security area.

I'm wondering how much longer until we get what part of China have, where you must go through a metal detector or other security to enter, say, a grocery store. But it's all for our security, so I'm sure it's okay.

Your post reads like the lowest kind of tabloid sensationalism.

Plenty of things are out there protecting the public's safety already, some of which are far more notable than crumpled alumiunium plant pots.

We had most of the bins taken away in the 80s due to the IRA. Didn't stop a truck bomb from breaking every window in the City of London.

Still lower risk than mass shootings.
