Won't it be a pain to remove the sand afterwards though? Why not fill it with something like water that's easier to clean out...

edit: Looks like some places are using hay or putting up fencing around the parks.

It's not about skating, it's about congregating.

Also looks like the skateparks were part of public territories that were closed on April 1st but people were ignoring the closures so that's why they took this measure.

As the time limit ticks down, the sand gets higher and new paths are opened up. Could make getting the SKATE letters a lot more interesting. I'd be down for it.

This actually isn't a bad idea for people who haven't been "getting the picture" regarding the lock down for 6 weeks now. I wouldn't mind if they filled parks, playgrounds, and public squares with sand here. Let's see people congregate when the place is full of fucking sand everywhere.

Yeah, Ted Cruz is right here. The only thing he is wring about tbh is singling out "the Democrats" as if they are the only ones that do this kind of thing. His anti-authoritarian stance is absolutely right.

The people defending this or finding a way to disagree with him are showing their partisanship.

so wait, its stupid to restrict access to an activity that has a high accident rate when the current pandemic is heavily stressing the hospitals? or maybe its just a bad idea to block access to a park where a bunch of edgy teens who think they're invincible and would absolutely congregate there in large numbers irregardless of the pandemic?

maybe ted cruz should get back to sucking trumps balls?

He addressed that. Covering the skatepark with sans is absurd and deserves to be criticized.

Seriously, the majority of people in this topic disagreeing with him aren't actually disagreeing with him and are just using whataboutisms, as if they're afraid to agree with him about something.

I think calling filling a skatepark with sand during a global pandemic in order to stop stupid kids from getting hurt/sick a "authoritarian abuse of power" is pretty hyperbolic. Does it suck? Yes. Is it necessary? Seems like it.

Because it's tortally unnecessary. Someone in this very topic made the point that they could have filled the skateparks with water or something that was easier to remove. The fact that they filled them with sand is farcical.

Oh fuck using partisanship as an excuse, you think Ted Cruz would complain less if they prevented people from congregating in skate parks in any other way? You think that if they put a cop there to yell at kids to stay 6 feet apart then Cruz would be praising them or some shit?


You literally just argued against me saying people here are using whataboutisms with a whataboutism.

Okay. Some government entity did something you think is totally unnecessary. That is to say, not even any percentile of necessity was met in that action.

Therefore, shitting your (and Cruz's and all other conserderp's) pants and crying about aboose of power?

Is that what I'm supposed to be getting here? A government entity in a pandemic situation did something that you, in your infinite (lack of) wisdom finds "unnecessary", so conservatives can't stop crying?

Because that's exactly what it seems like.

You can skate board anywhere, this won't stop it. Just have a sign up that limits how many people can be there at any one time and have a cop once in a while drive by and see if people are following the rules. If someone is going to skateboard, sand won't stop them they'll just find a parking lot.

What does the viability of water to block people from using the skateparks have to do with the original question, which is whether the skateparks should be blocked in the first place? Nothing. You and others are finding any way you can to disagree with me now. It's pretty embarrassing.

Like if you seriously can't see how covering skateparks in sand is absurd then I don't know what to tell you.
