If you are going to station yourself in a prominent and somewhat difficult to access public location, vowing to stay there until social conditions improve, you might want to at least bring along a bottle of water and a box lunch. This world is full of rotten types who would be happy to watch you starve.
Luckily, our local police force isn't among them.
Early TV news reported that a small number of protesters climbed up above the doors of the Soldier and Sailors Monument in downtown Indianapolis and swore they'd stay there until things got better. IMPD spent considerable time talking them down. Okay, points for putting your money -- or at least your person -- where your mouth is, but points off for lack of planning.
I can't find the story at any local TV station's website. So more points off if the stunt is being downplayed to discourage copycats. If that's the case, the message didn't get amplified. They'd've been better off putting the effort into a bigger sign.

I see a report with the title "Man Climbs Monument, Safely Comes Down After Four Hours" and it has a picture.
There's an awful lot lately where I've a strong desire that people wouldn't copycat.
