Norman Osborn killing women and cops on TV, before being brought to justice by Luke Cage (ugh) in The Pulse was. As for Gwen Stacy, Ben Urich happened to write a best-selling book about that, and while Norman sought to discredit Urich's book, Norman's later confession (as written by Bendis) basically admits that 90 percent of what Urich wrote was true. If you seriously believe that ANY police officer EVER would show ANY support for a guy who killed so many cops, much less the (blonde, white, pretty) DAUGHTER of a distinguished police officer? Then you've never known any cops, period.
Well, we still have people protesting Norman [...]
Where? Show me issues. Show me mentions in dialogue. Show me on-panel depictions of the protestors. Show me where ANY reporter has put Norman on the spot, with anything other than a total softball question.
[...] just like how the majority of the country ignores teh protesters in our world [...]

... You've never read or watched the news in your entire life, have you?
You literally CAN'T ESCAPE news stories about protestors! Bush had them his entire presidency, and Obama has them SHOWING UP WITH GUNS at town hall meetings, and either way, the media WON'T SHUT UP about them, and opinion poll after opinion poll shows that the VAST MAJORITY of Americans DO pay attention to such protests, even if they DON'T agree with them.
