Hint: it's a bigger number than the hundreds. LASD is a giant gang, to begin with.

Maybe we watched the news and saw it happen. Egads!

Of course there was some violence. You think the cops are going to be peaceful? Ha!

You just said nothing at all, my friend. Were you accusing the poster? Was it satirical? Was it serious? Nobody knows. Who is the clown? Is it OP? Is it yourself, the general public, some sucker who replied to you?

Which is a nice example of how the Internet is weird. Not great for making a point, tho. :-)

If only there were a way to search specifically for videos. That would be convenient.

You have to make some assumptions for your question to make sense. If all you want is lines on a map, that could in theory happen tomorrow. Various political leaders could agree to it. But lines on maps don't change what's happening on the ground.

So I think the short answer to your question is, it might look exactly like today. But if you want to add in some details to your hypothetical, if you want to establish that there are peacekeeping forces or that various factions are disarmed, or some means of reducing violence and increasing human aid, that would continue in the medium and long term, then you might have an interesting question. The problem is that until you specify those details there's no way to answer the question you're asking, because everything depends on the structure of the country.

My cats treat me like a big cat. That's why they brush up against my leg, for example. Or wake me up at 6AM on Sundays.

I'm not the master. But they don't want to disrupt the harmony, and I'm the biggest, so they usually avoid doing things that irritate me, if I'm there to see it happening.

Well yeah. If she copies Hillary, maybe she'll get what Hillary got.

Maybe sell half.

Jesus. They're the news. Why would they show stories about things you don't need to watch? ... /rant

Is it any less reliable than other state-affiliated news agency? Maybe. Depends on your perspective.

Remember, this is actually a question of what to do about a coup d'etat. Undercutting basic democracy is not a question of law, but a question of who will use force how much force to address it.

Can you think of any titles from real journal articles or essays that are eye-catching?

I'm writing a document for high school students taking an English writing class, and rather than create my own examples, why not use real ones? Several of my students have expressed frustration, and I have some guidelines and brainstorming tools, but what I don't have are two dozen neat examples.
