In 1647, they tried to ban Christmas in Canterbury, England.
This led to the Plum Pudding Riots.
The Puritan government tried to cancel Christmas and insisted that shops be open on Christmas Day.
Few shops opened and the locals of Canterbury decided to play football instead with inflated pig bladders. The mob ripped through the streets of Canterbury paying particular attention to breaking windows. A game of football had turned into a full-blown riot. Plum pudding, mince pies and ale were enjoyed by most all.
Ban Christmas? Have you not heard of the Plum Pudding Riots?
Plum pudding with cream, spotted dick with custard, roly-poly with jam, gooseberry tart with ginger or hobnobs with chocolate?

Riverport Riot was an infamous Riot that took place in 1991 in St. Louis.
Guns N' Roses were performing their song Rocket Queen and Axl Rose saw some guy with a camera and because he hated cameras, he tells the security to take it away from him by saying "Hey, take that, take that, now. Get that guy and take that?" But the security refused to, Axl handled the situation himself by saying "I'll take it god dammit!" and jumps into the crowd to beat the guy up.
After beating him up, Axl went on the stage and said "Well, thanks to the lame-ass security, I'm going home!" and he smashed the microphone, which caused a riot.
2 people were killed, Axl Rose got arrested and hundreds of dollars was costed. The riot was also known as Rocket Queen Riot.
It could be used in explaining the story of Guns N' Roses or explaining Riverport Riot
