An example - find a fence around your area designed to keep people out. You will find the barbed wire points towards the direction meant to stop the people.

Dude, it those fences many of which don't even have barbed wire on top, are designed to keep prisoners in then they did a piss poor job of it.

First off I didn't see one bit of razor wire, let alone the stacked coils, you see around real prisons. Toss a FEMA blanket over that weak triple strand shown in the video and just about anyone can negotiate the top of that fence in just a couple seconds without so much as a scratch.

Second. Nowhere in that video did it conclusively show what was in or out. There are buildings on both sides so making the barbed wire brackets look like they are one way or the other is a simple matter of moving the camera. Not even the gates show which side they're facing.

Third there are holes all along the fence. I saw one at 1:04 big enough to drive a cart through. Heck there WAS a cart already halfway through it!

Finally, and most damning imo those fences didn't even have truss rods at the bottom. Snip a couple of the lower tie wires and you can lift the whole bottom like a kilted Scotsman flashes the ladies. They would not stop masses of desperate people.

OH and BTW the Air Force engine and Army crane are at least a half a century old! They've "seen better days" is right. They belong in a museum not some super secret government concentration camp where a crane would be needed for.... what again?
