    800 years ago

    The most famously successful riots happened in 1789 (234 years ago). I’m sure you were just being hyperbolic, but its important to note that this isn’t some relic of ancient history, its the cornerstone of their modern democracy.

      No, I mean 800 years ago, like the 1229 University of Paris strike (riot), but yes, there were many others that happened in the last <300 years.

      Regardless, I think the impact of a modern day riot isn’t nearly the same as one taking place hundreds of years ago.
