Just five days after the shootings, 100,000 people demonstrated in Washington, D.C., against the war and the killing of unarmed student protesters. Ray Price, Nixon's chief speechwriter from 1969 to 1974, recalled the Washington demonstrations saying, "The city was an armed camp. The mobs were smashing windows, slashing tires, dragging parked cars into intersections, even throwing bedsprings off overpasses into the traffic down below. This was the quote, student protest. That's not student protest, that's civil war."
Two paragraphs from an NBC News article titled "DOJ says California's bid to block troops puts lives at danger". It reads: "The president “has every right under the Constitution and by statute to call forth the National Guard and Marines to quell lawless violence directed against enforcement of federal law,” the Justice Department’s filing said. The filing argues that “instead of working to bring order to Los Angeles,” Newsom sued seeking a court order “limiting the federal government’s ability to protect its property and officials.” Link to article: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/ice-protests-la-trump-deportation-policy-live-updates-rcna211981#rcrd81545
The "History" section of the Wikipedia article on the Washington National Airport WMATA Subway station. Under the heading 'Renaming Controversy,' it reads "The station retained its original name after the airport was renamed in 1998 from "Washington National Airport" to "Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport". In early 2001, a letter signed by 24 members of Congress requested WMATA rename the station to conform. However, according to a Metro policy adopted in 1987, groups seeking to rename a station were required to pay the cost of replacing signs and maps. The Arlington County government, which could have made the change, demurred—the price was estimated at $400,000—and WMATA subsequently declined to rename the station on April 19, 2001. In response, Republican Congressman Bob Barr of Georgia threatened to withhold federal funding from the agency unless the station was renamed. Congress ultimately voted to require the renaming on November 30, 2001. According to then-General Manager Richard A. White, Metro paid to complete the renaming."
The header of the info box on the Wikipedia article for the Balinese language, where the Balinese script isn't properly rendered in the screenshot and is instead replaced by the stiff and retro-looking hexadecimal placeholder characters Unicode uses when a system doesn't support the given characters.
