Erin is introduced by an attorney. After she speaks, another attorney gives details on the damage, how it happened, and what's needed for cleanup.

1. Someone on DU recently was trying to remember

which movie had the contaminated water been given to the higher ups with the big bucks and big jobs. It worked. I thought of this movie.

3. That was in the movie, Erin Brockovich, played by

Julia Roberts.

The link that I posted is not the movie. It is the real Erin Brockovich at the town hall meeting Friday evening in East Palestine, Ohio.

5. Yes, I know about the real Erin

and her current work from Googling her after one of the times I saw that film. Julia Roberts did a good job playing the real Erin.

6. Oops. So right about Julia Roberts.

I will correct my post.

9. You Guys Wouldn't Be Talkin About THIS, Would Ya ???

10. That's the scene.

7. Sorry. Julia Roberts played Erin in that movie.

Trivia: Erin made a cameo apoearance as a waitress in one scene.

8. Yes, I corrected the name.

I have the movie on videocassette. Still have my VCR. Watched it again a couple nights ago.

Erin's appearance is early in the film.

2. Ironically, at least some of the people in her audience were

likely calling her names like "Erin Brock-o-bitch" up until their own ox got gored. She has been demonized as a dreaded "commie librul environmentalist" type by the Right for years. Oops.

4. Yes, I know. I used to work with a guy who

insisted that Erin and the attorney she worked for never had a solid case and only won cash awards because Erin slept around with the other attorneys and the judges.

They will believe anything but the facts.

11. Trump handed out (expensive) MAGA hats, what

more do they need?

[wnylib]

12. What more? Trump water, which he also handed out.

No doubt Trump water is labeled as "pure spring water" or as "purified water," but is most likely tap water from a public source. He'd use a public source to avoid an increase in his water bill.

13. Oh yeah I forgot the very expensive Trump water too..
