Whether the below item -- manages to "make it" as one of three Plastic Water Bottles (PWBs) I picked up in the NW area of the imperial capital while on a daily stroll/jog  65-mins, 8/13, I will not judge ...

But as one more sample of the plastic c--p (33.8  FL OZ, if you read the image below) dumped on our streets where my dear neighbors and I are fortunate enough to live (see below map), here it is!

[Late 20th century Americana:] The Girl in the Kent State Photo

Image
In 1970, an image of a dead protester immediately became iconic. But what happened to the 14-year-old kneeling next to him?  (John Filo/Getty Images from )  By Patricia McCormick , The Washington Post ,  April 19, 2021 Excerpt: [jb: from a well-researched (but perhaps a bit too long) article] :  Last May, when Mary Ann Vecchio watched the video of George Floyd’s dying moments, she felt herself plummet through time and space — to a day almost exactly 50 years earlier.

How to act.  All the cops, and the perps, they came from us. image (not from article) from
