I’m glad no one was hurt and I hope he gets the help he needs.

Where are the bollards near the front door to prevent such intrusion?

Can I get a ruling on the BoingBoing stylebook: this is a gentleman, but the fellow who vaped and hung out on an LA street sign was merely a “man”; is there a workable principle to define one as one but not the other. They strike me both as gentlemen, but perhaps I’m not privy to the distinctions.

This kind of thing is surprisingly rare in the US. They may not have seen a need before now.

IKR I’ve never been to a Walmart but, the Costco here has lots of 6 inch bollards and Target has big red balls.

Haven’t checked out the front of a Wal-mart or Costco recently, but the Target near me only has two or three big red balls ™, enough to stop or deflect some errant tractor trailers probably but definitely easy enough to drive between if you are trying to cause damage purposefully.

We can solve the problem by adding more guns. A well placed AP round in the truck’s engine will stop it, so the plan is to equip store security with recoil-less rifles and anti-tank ammunition.

I believe that calling him a gentleman falls under the sarcasm chapter of the stylebook.

I am pleased to see he had the foresight to add those “Bull Bars” to the front of his truck to prevent any additional damage. To his truck.
