Many governments are loathe to protect their nations by traditional border defense, so they have instead gone small and fortified city streets against jihad vehicle attacks. As a result, “bollard” is a new vocabulary word in the discussion about public safety when enemy immigrants are common in Europe and beyond.

Last August, the New York Times did a survey of European nations and how they are bollarding up, titled “European Cities Add Barriers to Thwart Vehicle Attacks” (reprinted in the Dubai News). The article is quite revealing about the degree to which communities are building structures to prevent mass murder: apparently modern leaders are now too sensitive to admit that the world is full of enemies, and it would be wise to keep those tribes out entirely.

Below, some diversity bollards are square, which makes artistic comments easier to express.

A vehicle attack in Toronto last week killed 10 pedestrians, so the Canadian media reported on the bollard industry.
