I miss Emperor Norton

Jul 05, 2012 17:23

God bliss His Majesty:

August 12, 1869 - Decree from Norton I dissolved and abolished the Democratic and Republican parties because of party strife now existing within our realm.

.....

When local white rowdies tried to start a pogrom against Chinese in the city, Emperor Norton forbade it and stood in the street, head bowed and praying; the pogrom failed on the spot.

Thanks bro!
