Angola is the name of an infamous prison within Louisiana. It's called 'the Farm's and it's about as bad as any Southern prison.

Likely no.
That seems to fall under a cluster bomb. For which there is a treaty, but none of the belligerents are signatories. If anyone specifically targets civilians at the moment of deployment that's likely a war crime.
And there has to be intent. Unlike when the CIA selected a single target for the Kovoso campaign and it happened to be the Chinese embassy and not a communication building. That was a total accident and not deliberate. In any way. Believe me.

>Roz Rothstein, CEO of the Israel education organization StandWithUs and a daughter of Holocaust survivors, said assigning the book promotes “propaganda that dehumanizes Israelis and paints a distorted picture of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
OK. Do you have another YA novel that you can provide to illuminate the Israeli position? I've read more than one Holocaust themed book in middle school and high school. Anti-Semitism blows and we should all shout it down when it comes up. But there is a historical record of abuse on the part of the IDF that cannot be ignored. And certainly can be grounds for a YA book (no pun intended).

Russia, the US, both Koreas and some other countries are NOT signatories to the Ottawa Treaty. Ukraine is a signatory. So, since few UN Security Council members didn't jump on, it's basically fluff, sadly.

It fun to think that a lot of movies, like Wizard of Oz and Frankenstein, are actually remakes. The silent film era mined popular books and plays for stories the same way studios harvest Marvel Comics or Stephen King novels.

So we're clear, the police aren't under any obligation to protect the public. But they will certainly take you to court when you're distracting them from doing their official business.

Aftershocks.
You have a primary earthquake. Which is often the biggest. Then follow on aftershocks. If the primary loosens foundation or support structures, aftershocks can completely destroy a building. Less so, in earthquake prone areas with really good building codes.
