Despite it being propaganda and making him money , still an inceedibly sad way for an adult to spend his time.

    There's a scene after Levon has his mentor killed but before he becomes mayor where the protesters are stopping the cop that killed the kid from being released from prison by surrounding it.

    All hope is lost until a mob of bikers led by an anti-enviromentalist terrorist ride in wearing shirts emblazoned with a racist slogan (something along the lines of "kill all thugs") the bikers fire on the protesters, starting a riot.

    This is all, of course, played as the bikers being heroes rescuing an innocent man from a lynch mob

        The narrative is split between four main characters, all but one of them is directly responsible for a child's death. Truly a book of all time.

          oh I was reading this as a film pitch. For some reason as a culture child murder is more acceptible in literature than cinema. Probably because films cost a lot to produce and have to be marketable and seeing it is more visceral than reading about it
