A Jersey barrier, or Jersey wall, is a modular concrete or plastic barrier employed to separate lanes of traffic. It is designed to minimize vehicle damage in cases of incidental contact while still preventing the crossover case of a head-on collision. Jersey barriers are also used to reroute traffic and protect pedestrians and workers during highway construction, as well as temporary and semi-permanent protections against landborne attack such as suicide vehicle bombs. A Jersey barrier is also known in the western United States as K-rail, or K-wall, a term borrowed from the California Department of Transportation specification for temporary concrete traffic barriers, or colloquially as a Jersey bump. Plastic water-filled barriers of the same general shape are also now commonly called Jersey barriers.

Created in New Jersey hence the name. Don’t know where you live but they may have a local name.

A guy that trys to beat up a woman he does not know,


As opposed to? Heh.

I’m reminded of the two cops who roll up onto a crime scene where a woman is battered, ribs broken, and her face smashed in.

One cop asks the other, “I wonder what she said to deserve that?”

Wow I thought most shoulder wounds were survivable?

That's what the old TV Westerns would have you believe. And even if they miss a major vessel, you stand to be seriously crippled.

I’ve never heard this term before, jersey barrier.

They put them up all along the border, to keep people from escaping.

But did he look black? Because if he did, she would be charged with murder, right?

Well, I don't have the experience to compare, I've only been shot in the buttress.

“Jones then slammed the woman’s head into a Jersey barrier”

Why not use a barrier in Washington State? Why go across the country to find something to slam her head on?

she shot him in the chest

I read a report about a woman that had been shot Saturday night and had the bullet in her yet. Still have not found out where her yet is located.
