DETRUISEZ LA SERVICE PUBLIQUE D'EDUCATION!

HEY, HO, I DON'T WANNA LEARN NO MO'
Just strolling along, doin' my own thang, eatin' muh sandwich and BAM- I walk into a huge demonstration taking up two large blocks, madness everywhere! Drummers drumming, pipers piping, flares-a-flaring, coppers copping. Smokers smoking, punks-a-punking, dirty hippies... not doing much. It was weird because to walk into it, I had to pass a row of police men with shields who weren't letting anyone out of the mess but evidently had no problem with people walking into it. Well, no matter, I'm just glad nobody initiated violence on me for looking so blasé with my tuna melt. They were "protesting the school system," which is French for, "We're bored, let's hold up traffic." It was fun to watch for a while, until I noticed my path home was obstructed by hoooligans! And then I had to beg another row of cops to let me out.

"What do these students want?" I earnestly ask my old French lady. "To annoy people." IN-deed!

Well, I guess I found the Scene. I should start hanging out at protests, pretending I'm For The Cause. I only pray they don't make me grow dreadlocks!
