Oy. Some people can’t be saved from their own arrogance.

Barriers aren’t the solution. There was no need for barriers before the muzzy invasion.

[JohnG45]

How about placing the barriers where they belong - at the ports of entry to the US?

Placing them along the bike paths simply invites the ISIS vermin to go to Plan B (and then C and D etc. as needed).

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out.

Only of someone tries the exact same thing again.

How stupid. Now they’ll think of another way to attack. You are NOT solving the problem. Deport ALL Muslims. The authorities are beyond ignorant and stupid.

[lacrew]

I thought barriers like walls didn’t work.

[Bob434]

Yay- we now have to fortify our cities against terrorists- just like the middle east has to- gee- what progress we’re making

[JohnG45]

The barriers are meant to protect pedestrians and cyclists on the greenway from vehicular traffic on the West Side Highway.

Really? How many accidents have occurred there in the past? Probably zero.

Tell Mayor DeBlasio that you can't solve a problem until you know exactly what the problem is. And we know what the problem is - muslim vermin that comes here to kill and maim.

Steyn pointed out long ago how persistent the delusion of our leadership is in Western countries that are being plagued with mudslimes. They go to great lengths to put up barriers on the curb but no attempt to put any barrier at the border. Absolute insanity.

"The 20-foot-long Jersey barriers put in by the state are particularly dangerous, according to White, because they turn a two-way bike lane into one single lane, “effectively putting north and southbound cyclists on a collision course.”

And what about the perhaps 10s of miles of other bike lanes throughout Manhattan? Will they too get concrete barriers?

[PGR88]

Call them diversity barriers.

[chris37]

They won’t stop a muslim with a knife.

[BobL]

What, a WALL, what kind of message does this send to the followers of the great profit Mohammad?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I hope they make sure to lock the barn door after the horse gets out!

Same Old, Same Old. *Rolleyes*

[Balding_Eagle]

I thought we all agreed that walls don’t work!

Steyn's article "Bollards of the Mind"

Excerpt:

As I put it the other day, after congratulating that Canadian sniper on his new world record for longest confirmed kill, what's the point of picking off an ISIS barbarian at 3,450 meters halfway round the globe if back on the home front you keep importing thousands upon thousands who share his world view? Or at any rate incline more to his than to yours, at least when it comes to legal systems, the segregation of the sexes, etc. As Miss Ibrahim's ascent through the cloisters of Salford reminds us, bollards aren't much of an obstacle to any of that.

[Kickass Conservative]

The guy could have just run a Red Light and taken out a Crosswalk full of People.

He would have done the same damage driving just one block.

What are they going to do, install those Steel Barriers that spring up from underground at every Intersection now?

I guess our Overlords will never figure out that the combination of Evil and Human Ingenuity is difficult to overcome, if not impossible.

[MinuteGal]

We've had the Trump wall.....now we have the de Blasio barriers.

What goes around comes around.

Next... concrete barriers all over Central Park. These people are as dumb as the TSA’s shoe removal doctrine after the shoe-bomber.
