BREAKING NEWS

Some grass got damaged.

Won’t someone think of the pollinators?!

Wait…. Uhh… won’t someone think of the students??

Wait.. hmm… well, won’t someone think of the administration I guess???

Or the administrators' feefees to be honest. Not like any of them faced anything detrimental due to the protests.

The style is often:

"Anti-semite demonstrators destroy public green space"

for things done by anti-Genocide demonstrators and:

"Gaza building collapses"

for things done by the actual genociders.

Eeww what kinda fake grass is that? Maybe replace that with something that can actually be called grass. This stuff was never made to be walked or sat on. It would get fucked up instantly if it actually got used.

That looks like sod. Basically the grass is pre-grown in a thin layer in top of a plastic sheet then cut in strips to get moved. New grass seed is very fragile, takes a while to root, and is basically a big mud pit. Sod can get an area up and running a lot more quickly and reduce the chance of the landscape changing before the grass can take hold

I think a lot of installed grass is like that until it takes root.
