Maybe France during the revolution - but many people are dying for this, albeit and sadly doomed, cause in Iran I agree though that although it appeared at first that perhaps the people were onto something, it kind of has turned out to be no more than a large riot in the street. Hopefully, there will be lasting results though.

I mean horrible in the sense that it was a horrible place where people were dying at this time.
