I never realized everyone has their own special police force.
Lots of American colleges and universities have their own police department
I'm aware of those, just never heard of the Supreme Court Police Department.
I didn't know they had a police department either, I thought they had the US Marshalls do everything for them.
I was under the impression this was in response to the guy that self immolated on their steps....last week?
That also makes sense, but they've almost certainly anticipated something ever since the current abortion case came before the court.
Why the fencing? Aren't they doing something popular and what Americans have wanted for decades?
They have to protect themselves from the Fringe Radical Leftists who want to destroy America. (I hear they've been working with the Russians)
Can the Russians just arm us already
President Putin send kornet missiles my people yearn for freedom
I would say this is a mask-off Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie moment but I feel that it’s already off.
its barely 2-people tall you could boost people to the top so easy
Let's be honest, unless you're going at that fence with a tank and hundreds, if not thousands, of armed revolutionaries, what's exactly the point? To take pictures of yourself shitting on Clarence Thomas's desk, only to get locked up six months later?
I'm of two minds on this. Part of me wants libs to also do something really dumb and ham-fisted so we can laugh at them, and part of me wants libs to do something really dumb and ham-fisted so people will finally realize that the US is a failed state.
Because it's going to shoot their child when they need an abortion?
I want libs to do something dumb and ham-fisted, because it would be funny.
If you're going that route, there's a good chance the cops will just open the gate and let you in anyway
"Open the gate we're here to do an entirely performative photo op then leave more or less without confrontation!"
It's designed so that if you're close enough to push on it, your own weight prevents it from being pushed over. If you somehow do topple it, it makes you fall down and creates a smaller barrier. That would slow down a crowd from simply pushing by a fallen section of the fence.
The real trick would be for everyone to get off the footings and push it over with poles. Then just stack sandbags or whatever to create a little step over area.
the article just says 'its difficult to scale', but anyone with a good vertical or a boost from a comrade could get over it. nullifying it by overturning, deconstructing, or destroying is a different talk.
idk why im talking about it though except to debunk the marketer, you don't want individuals or small groups hopping that shit you want a whole ass mob
Cordless angle grinder from Milwaukee® would probably make quick work of those chain links
Of course tons of piggies behind the thing so may be a while to cut a human sized hole
Yeah you would just want to break the connections between different sections of fencing imo. They're probably riveted into the cement though.
I wonder how securely that mesh is attached to the frame. It would be a shame if some swoletarian was able to break that shit right off with a prybar or some axe swings.
Man you could make a siege ramp in about thirty minutes at any hard-ware store with a lumber yard. All you need to do is find a couple of theater techs and like one medieval recreation nerd.
The problem isn't the stupid barrier, it's that the people don't have the right state of mind to take the barrier down. it's basically symbolic, it wouldn't stop even a single front end loader with a fork, but can you imagine Americans actually using heavy construction equipment to push a police line?
