I wish Seattle took the possibility of vehicle-ramming attacks more seriously. This was Pike Place on USA v. Belgium match day. Where are the bollards?

    I was looking at what I thought was the same thing, but it was quite different.

    This place seems to be able to rent out heavy barriers for $3500 weekly

    Sunbelt also has rentals.

    I don’t know if you have the same thing available in Germany or if the EU at large makes it easier to find things international within the Union. I would think that a village or small city might have a hard time funding these. My city is just over a quarter million people, if you don’t count the surrounding municipalities. Seattle is almost 3x as large.

      There are also rental companies over here, probably useful for covering increased demand during huge one-time-events.
      Most smaller communities help themselves by just parking a bunch of heavy cars or trucks across the streets leading to their events.
      It is a somewhat ugly looking solution, but also works.
