Sent to me by Combat Controller, this description of a Diversity Bollard:
A recent innovation of installing bollards outside festivals, events, concerts etc. with a high volume of foot traffic to protect the common citizen from diversity-driven cars, vans and trucks.
Of course, nowadays one has to be extremely careful when leaving a house because of the above phenomenon.
I really like the term “diversities” because it’s an all-encompassing term for all sorts of dangerous scrotes like ghetto dwellers, muezzin groupies, mescal swillers and so on.
Consider it part of my lexicon from now on.
For new construction this problem could be dealt with at the planning stage. Arranging the parking lot so that it is not possible for a vehicle to access the front of the building.
Side entry access for handicaps for instance.
Landscape berms “hiding and blocking” the main entrance area.
Of course, since criminals are a clever sort this method will have to constantly be revised.
There have been several break ins at gun stores in the area where the shitbags drove through the wall of the building then grabbed guns and left. Sometimes they left the battering ram behind. Now many stores have mafia blocks in front of the doors to prevent this from occurring. I’m sure the shitbags will just pick a wall to crash into next.
And to think that most of the “diversity bollards” I have seen in older sections of London and Paris are the exposed parts of old buried cast iron cannon, Always found that a bit odd as any usable weapons should be kept at the ready for likely repulsing of invaders at those same points rather than for traffic control.
Then I got to thinking that the Military Industrial Complex has been around a very , very long time, so maybe that was the way to keep them in business during those very brief periods of quasi peace in Europe đ
IIRC, “diversity bollard” was coined by Tim Blair, or maybe Mark Steyn in the days of the Original Blogosphere.
