Ongoing riots in Rome. Apologies for the bad Google translation.
How many times have we seen this played out throughout history? Roma, the Eternal City, run by the elite until the plebs take to the streets. I am twenty-three hundred years off, but all I can think of is the Gracchi, Saturninus, Marius -- these things never change, will never change. Welcome to Rome.
They've barricaded the fucking Senate, guys. Who is volunteering to go up on the roof and throw tiles down at the mob?
