If you think through the situation you’ll realize the barriers are just ramps at normal driving speeds. So a car in the air without any human control makes the entire situation more dangerous than a real barrier or just fold over markers. Removing control from the 3000lb machine is the worst possible outcome from a system like this.

    This bullshit again, the “barriers” were folding markers and parking space bumpers. Local riders mostly disliked them since the bumpers wouldn’t stop any cars anyways and just create less control for everyone involved. If the dumbass city council did it right there wouldn’t have been an issue but they half assed it and got hate from both sides. Good riddance.

    When I think of US history, unity and stability are probably the last adjectives I’d use. I don’t see this period as notably worse than any other transitional period. Alternatively I’d put it like this; Violence is the only true power in America and as along as the government has a monopoly on it the country will be forced into submission no matter the ruling party.
