“I watched I guess the the the final I guess discussion with the captain who kind of shared the update afterwards in a lot of the community was just asking what they could do next time to help prevent such a tragedy and really one of the main takeaways seem to be you know as a community just if you see something out of the ordinary to say something and do something about it and likely no one did no one saw something likely but it's just that reminder you know even to like how we use our land the more we get people out and about and we build better places where people are in community more you end up having eyes on things more often”
“I met a lovely uh resident and her son that is their neighborhood park um I don't know if you're familiar with it but it has a basketball court in the kind of middle of of the parking lot such that you couldn't throw a basketball without hitting the cars I mean the the hoop dumps straight on”
