Not an accident but a editorial choice that keeps being made at every major paper.
By editorial here I'm not referring to an editor actually looking at articles (doesnt happen anymore) I mean that whoever puts the final word on these stories always has the same direction: cover the controversy but dont explain it.

Cool to see them trading off and cycling out
Using something thats only heavy in the front as a ram seems really hard, the person in the front has to support all of the weight and try to keep it level

So you're saying it probably would have been beneficial to add mass to the back of the sign?
That makes sense to me and I could see that helping, especially since it was long enough for me people to grab. In this specific case, I wonder what the best way to attach more mass to the back end would have been.
Cris_Citrus 4 points 2 days ago
Yeah. You'd have more mass to ram with (and hold up), but it being balanced means everyone would be supporting the weight and it'd be easier to control

I'm surprised they didn't realize that most walls are less reinforced than a lot of security doors...

If you sincerely cannot see the difference between protests against corruption and a corrupt leader organizing a coup against a legitimately elected leader, then you already gulped too much of the cool aid
Come back when you are ready to accept that trump is a corrupt narcissist that really jeeda to be jailed

BBC is doing not to far from that (they focus on the calls to end the protests in their article).

Its interesting reading the reporting on this.
BBC really buried the lede on why the protests are happening (I actually missed it on my first read) focusing on the facts of what's happened with the protests and enumerating people calling for them to stop/tone down.
Fox News (not linking for hopefully obvious reasons) started off by labeling the current Albanian government as Socialist, then went into the educational reforms that students are calling for before admitting that the protests started due to allegations of corruption associated with the Jared Kushner projects/deals.
AP seems to have the best bead, which mentions the student protests, but focuses on the "Flamingo Protests".
I am eagerly watching to see what comes of this.
