Put up bollards or other barriers between the roads and the sidewalks. ARM your citizens, for the love of all that is good. This is not rocket science! The British police were proud that it only took them 8 minutes to get to the scene. I do not think 8 minutes’ response time at the heart of the city is anything to be proud of. Learn how to cut that to two, max. Citizens forced to defend themselves with chairs and bottles does not bespeak a people planning to survive.

Those might be short term solutions to satisfy the external bleeding. But the internal cancer needs to be excised. Without complete removal of the internal problem, bleeding will continue and will get much worse.
Nor being allowed to survive by having the means to defend themselves. Waiting for help up against an 8 minute police response time means YOU WILL DIE.
Agreed!!! A first responder (police) at London Bridge was armed with a baton ONLY and found three jihadists with knives. He survived with severe injuries. The British Police are brave and courageous man and women but are sitting ducks.
WHEN ARE THE BRITS GOING TO SUSPEND TRADITION AND ARM ALL THEIR POLICE... ARM THE BRITISH POLICE!!!

But most handgun bullets get there at around 1,000 feet per second. As someone pointed out recently: You may not like guns, and it’s your right also not to carry one, and you may be an athiest, and hate prayer, but when the time comes, you will be “praying” that someone with a gun shows up immediately to protect you!”
