He filled a river with razor wire buoys, what a piece of shit.
- Yes, the one thing keeping us all united, Texas statewide officeholders being absolute pieces of shit.
- From the photo, they look pretty easy to swim under. Just a waste of money, plastic and rusting metal for posturing more culture wars.
  
  People have been hurt already. And to try to avoid the razor wire, people are moving into deeper more dangerous parts of the river. This also puts border patrol and other first responders at risk as well.
  
  It's way, way worse than a waste of materials.
  
  Always wanted to take a trip to Texas just to destroy their half-assed border shit lol
  
  Ok, how about people who use the river for boats? Just a matter of time before this kills a kayaker or something.
  
  What could possibly go wrong?
- Did you see that somewhere? I’m in Texas and saw it on the local news. They were described as nets anchored to the bottom and the buoys are round and tall so nearly impossible for most people to climb over. Never saw anything about razor wire
  
  You are either too lazy or commenting in bad faith because what you are requesting is in the linked article. I left Texas because of people like you who only see what they want. Y'all blind.
  
  It's in the article.
  
  I think the disconnect is coming from the phrasing. There are netted buoys in the river, and razor wire fences by the river. So you're right that the buoys themselves don't have razor wire, but it's definitely part of the "solution" our petty and evil state government is wasting our money on.
