Or something like that. Sure it isn't US protests but strangely the rest of the world had things going on as well and that includes some bizarre events going down in South Korea.
Would You Like To Know More?
Seoul, South Korea (CNN)Massive protests roiled Seoul for the second consecutive weekend as hundreds of thousands of angry South Koreans took to the streets Saturday calling for President Park Geun-hye's resignation.
The march, which included families with young children, students -- some in school uniforms -- and union members, came as opposition to Park mounts following her unprecedented admission that she shared classified information with someone who lacked the necessary security clearance.
It was one of the biggest anti-government protests the country has seen in decades.
Four officers were injured during the demonstrations, according to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency, which cited police. Twenty-six protesters were taken to hospital with injuries and a further 29 were treated at the scene of the protests, Yonhap quoted the Fire Department as saying.
It is unclear how the police and protesters were injured.
The President has already apologized twice, but that has done little to quell the rage of many South Koreans who say they feel betrayed. Indeed, some protesters are saying the marches won't stop until she resigns.
Chu Mia, a protester who was wearing devil's horns and holding a Korean sign saying Park should step down, said, "We don't want to call her ... President anymore. We want a real government."
She also said South Koreans have been stunned to find that there seems to be "somebody behind her," referring to Park's confidante, Choi Soon-sil, who does not hold an official government post, but has allegedly viewed confidential documents and presidential speeches.
"We didn't give this person the power," she said.
Apparently the President thought a cult leaders father was the reincarnation of her father (or something like that, can't recall atm) and was passing everything through the cult leader for approval including Top Secret documents. Eventually the cult leader was arrested but the President is trying to get him out of jail and people are flipping out.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

If I recall some of the Top Secret documents had to do specifically with North Korea so, yeah probably.

Good for them. The president sounds like she's looney, and they should protest her policies.

I support the protests in South Korea.
Do I need to change my Facebook picture yet again?

I don't blame them. Not counting the fact that the "Reverend" Moon's antics have soured many in South Korea on cults and cult activity, using a cult leader as an "off-the-record" adviser in government affairs is not a good idea. Especially if you are under the impression that said cult leader is a "daddy avatar" (Dad-vatar?  ).
I would be pissed too.
