How do you stop a truck ?

[mistermack]

This must be a live discussion right now, in security services.

They were just LUCKY that the truck wasn't a truck bomb, loaded with explosives and shrapnel scrap.

But how do you stop one? I don't think stingers are particularly effective.
My answer is a grenade in the cab. But how do you get it in? The front windows are shatter proof, and if the truck is moving, it's hard to be sure of your aim.
Maybe paint balls could at least ensure that the driver can't see where he's going, which might make a significant difference.
Or bullets that can pierce the glass and then explode giving off CS gas in the cab.

Some news report that the truck had already been inside the safe zone earlier that day and had actually been controlled by police (but without them checking the inside). Maybe just make police follow protocol and remove vehicles parked at sensitive spots before major events or at least double-check their right to be there.

There should be a register of Muslims in positions of responsibility. Doctors, Truck Drivers, Pilots and that sort of thing. If this was cross-indexed with criminal records and social media history then issues could be nipped in the bud. Trump is right about certain things. Not everything but in this area his zeal might accomplish a lot more than the bleating of frightened sheep.

With another truck?

Posting on rationalia would be a good indicator not letting the person near any crowd of innocents.

The report I saw said that he'd been there for NINE HOURS !!! And he told the cops he had a load of ice-cream.
That should have raised some suspicion. You don't sit around for nine hours, in a non-refrigerated truck full of ice-cream.
They wouldn't use a truck that size either, for local deliveries of ice-cream.

I've heard that a bagful of sugar in the fuel tank works quite well. Also, applying foot to the brake pedal has a positive effect. Failing that, I was once in a car that had no brakes, and the driver simply used the parking brake all the time.

Of course, you don't stop a truck, nor should you. Life is all about risk, thrills & spills, taking chances. For life to be rich & vibrant, interesting & fulfilling, some MUST die. Those who wish to prevent death at any cost are already dead.

What? You mean this wasn't a DGSI false flag hoax Galaxian?

"Galaxian"

[tattuchu]

Simple: have a crossing guard hold up a STOP sign and then have some kids cross the street. While the driver is stopped waiting, that's when you grab him. Just because someone is a terrorist doesn't mean they don't have proper manners

Of course there's usually a difference. A "hoax" is when there were not really any deaths or casualties, or they were greatly inflated. A "false flag" is when the event was real, but designed to be blamed on an innocent party.

I tend to think that this was a false flag. For one thing; why did the police open one barrier to let the truck through, supposedly to deliver ice cream? (BBC World Service). A 17 ton truck to deliver ice cream? That's a hell of a lot, especially since it was late at night & the festivities were winding down.

Is it more likely that the back of the truck was filled with dummies & crisis actors? And as it crept along slowly (see the videos) they were emptied from the back, onto the road?

There seems to be no drag marks or smears of blood from bodies caught by the truck or its wheels. The bodies are neatly laid out with neat puddles of 'blood'. There's no blood at the front or sides of the truck, even in daylight videos.

As with several suspects of 9/11, the alleged perpetrator has protested his innocence from his home town in Tunisia:

So, yes the event may have been a partial hoax, and probably a false flag to advance the fascist cause

Ah, balance to the force restored has been.

Not if he shoots himself in the head, which he should for being too fucking stupid to live, much less be a cop. Nine hours and not one policeman said, "Get out and open the back for inspection."

Fucking ridiculous.

As soon as the driver said ice-cream, he would have been staring at the barrel of my gun.
Because I know a refrigerated truck when I see one, and that one wasn't.

But unfortunately for the world, I can't be everywhere, saving the world.
My powers are impressive, but they're not super-powers. And I haven't got a cape.
So the world has to rely on lesser mortals, hence the odd tragedy.

I still want to know how they are going to stop trucks in the future though.
There is going to have to be some police issue bit of kit that will available for when there are going to be large crowds.

I've seen police chases of trucks on the telly that went on for hours. They're going to have to get something that will do the job in extreme cases. Maybe the police helicopters can be issued with a weapon system that will take the driver out.
A heavy machine gun with camera-aiming pointed at the driver's seat would do it.
It could even fire right through the roof of the cab.
