Ignoring the psychological differences an eight foot wall is VERY different than your normal 5.5-6 foot wall. At eight feet you will need something to stand on to even reach the top. Furthermore, there is nothing for the person to grab on to. The concrete itself is very smooth (as opposed to brick and cinder block). The guy also mentioned adding a rounded top or glass. Both prevent someone from using that as leverage to lift themselves up.

i'm 6 feet tall. i could defeat this mighty wall with the help of a milk crate. lacking a milk crate, a homeless person would probably do.

You're 6' tall and you need a milk crate to climb an 8' wall?

since there's shit on top of the wall, yeah, a milk crate would make things easier
 
Walls are overrated. There has never been a bigger wall than the Wall of China. But it was useless since the general guarding the boarder opened the door for the Manchurians.

Actually, if you read World War z, you would know that with enough time, Zombies can get over any wall. They just keep piling up on top of each other until they make a ramp to walk over. Also, they can actually push the walls down using the combined strength of thousands of zombies.

Anyway, this guy is nuts, I bet he goes around wearing a tin foil hat. Now that he has that wall, people will get interested as to what he has behind it. I bet not enough a concrete fence can stand up to several pounds of tnt.

QFT, if they can survive at the bottom of the ocean, I don't think a wall will stop them.

They only survive in the sense that they don't drown. They rot faster in water, and with animals eating at them.

Just do it Fight Club style and throw a few carpet samples over the top.

Well that'd be great, except that you've used all the milk crates to build your Zombipult 3000, and the homeless guys are all zombies. What'cha gonna do now, huh?

use my hammer to knock 3 homeless zombies in the head, stack them up and jump the wall.
