We've got spirit, yes we do!

There have been various demonstrations outside my building recently. Apparently there's an important state building across the piazza, so people have been coming to protest recent teacher lay-offs, criminal executions, anything you can imagine, I hear about it. This past Sunday, I was hearing about it at 8 in the morning when some people with megaphones started yelling, marching and singing about it. Yesterday, though, they had shut down one of the smaller main streets of the city with cops redirecting traffic a mile around.
