The rides were largely safe if you used them with caution. Most people didn't.

Are our rides unsafe?

No, it's the children who are wrong.

I remember that quite a while after the 2021 King Soopers shooting suspect in Boulder, CO had been taken into custody, there was a ridiculous sea of police cars parked down the main road with the lights flashing - I wouldn't be surprised if there were a hundred. It was like something out of The Blues Brothers. It seems a similar thing happened at Uvalde.

I appreciate it's not exactly in the scope of this investigation, but peripherally, did you ever find anything out about the rationale behind this? Are more officers than is apparently necessary attending such scenes out of morbid curiosity, or because of protocol? What does this mean for other areas that are left presumably unpoliced? Might a coordinated attack take advantage of this behaviour, and are the police aware of that?

Use more secure devices. iPads and Chromebooks are harder to hack than laptops.

Do you really think the hacking risk here is worth pushing people into walled gardens and away from devices on which they can learn how things work?

Do you not consider relying strictly on either Google or Apple for banking and other essential daily business as a long-term risk? There is no guarantee of 'forever' access to these things in order to exist in society without eventually having to pay more than before, having to give increasingly more private info, or just being cut off arbitrarily with no recourse.

Might you recommend simply a Linux PC with script/adblockers in Firefox for those who can be bothered to manage it?
