S_N987 here, eh ?
Today was the opening of "Place de la Roumanie" (The Romanian Plaza) in Montreal. It's in a little crap-box park because they were too dumb to find a better location. It also has a "statue" of Mihai Eminescu, Romania's national poet. It's the most HIDEOUS statue you'll ever see...
Well, Ion Iliescu, the "president" of Romania was supposed to come and say something. (If you want to know why I hate that bastard so much, read the threads "International Politics" by xcarnagex and "Tell me about your country" by VainQueur)
However, there was an anti-Iliescu demonstration exactly where the ceremony was held. People were holding up all sorts of signs denouncing that asshole Iliescu and his acolytes. I went to the spot where the demonstration was taking place and took a sign, and started chanting anti-Iliescu slogans and booing whenever Iliescu and his government were mentioned. It was fuckin' awesome. Iliescu didn't even come out of his limo anymore and his whole convoy of cars left in a hurry while us demonstrators were yelling at them and flipping the bird. Just like a rat that was afraid to come out of his hole beacuse he knew we'd stomp on him.
One of the greatest moments of my life. I'm sure it's gonna be on the Quebec news...
It's cool to lash out against a tyrant ! Whaddaya think ? Similar experiences in you country ?

There was one similar event to yours here in America. It happened after the last elections to Bush. I need to look into those details about it later.

Nice...protesting asshole tyrants kicks ass!
Are you referring to the protests after Bush's inauguration (sp?) where his limo driving to the White House was pelted with eggs and shit, and although it's tradition for the president to get out and walk the last few blocks, Bush stayed in the limo and floored it the rest of the way?
Also, there were shitloads of protests of the Republican Convention in New York City. I would have loved to have gone, but I couldn't, even though I live fairly close by.
Maybe if Bush wins again and there are protests at the inauguration again, I'll try to go. I'll try to get some friends together to go to DC with me.

I would've thrown eggs at Iliescu's limo, but that would be a waste of perfectly good eggs that I can eat in the morning.
And I was right ! The protest WAS shown on Quebec news ! I think it was on RDI last night, I'm not sure. My mom saw it while I was out. She didn't say if she saw me, I'll have to ask her...
