Well, the former definitely didn't take hold. The latter... it remains to be seen if any real change results.

Is this the real life?

That's actually accurate. It's a depiction of Mount Watatic in Ashby. Much bigger than you think. Mount Watatic is 37,000 feet high.

I'm sure the air pump/vacuum is broken, so at least that part is accurate.

I used the most prominent examples, but if you want more recent examples that were brought about by public pressure, you can cite job discrimination on the basis of orientation, which has been banned nationwide since 2020, or the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell (2012). But also, your response, citing the time frame, is a logical fallacy as it doesn't speak to the efficacy of public sentiment and public pressure.

AG is a political office...and there is where public pressure makes an impact.

what is?

>...but a demonstration isn't going to change policy in a different state.

Civil rights marches happened in every state. Eventually the blanket of pressure changed things in the deep south.

>And policies are far better now

But demonstrably not where they need to be.

And following the policy has changed nothing, which means wider change is needed.

Protests sparked the Civil Rights Act.

Protests ended the misadventure in Vietnam.

Protests resulted in anti-discrimination laws.

Legit results.

Doesn't seem meaningless to me.

False premise. No one is saying charging the cops is a bad start. No one is suggesting that at all. What people are saying is that the problem is *institutional*, and this incident is merely a symptom of a larger problem.

Why are you triggered by the protesters?

Because the problem is systemic therefore the jury pool's views will likely be skewed to a certain extent.

Donna Summer's "On the Radio". The way it is used at the end of the movie "Foxes" totally changes your perception of what I originally saw as a frivolous disco song.

Because it's a chronic situation and needs to change.

Sorry, what?

Gannett is garbage, but since obits are basically ads and this is a separate section, I'm okay with it.

Gannett is cancer, but I like this, despite what the purists might think.

Seriously, what if you need emergency Pedialyte? I tell ya, Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids.
