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.

Hym "Yeah, no the Jokers (The Joker's minions) ALWAYS canonically fuck up the Joker's plans in implementation. ALWAYS. But the Joker would have been there and I would have shot them for it... Or at least one of them. I would have been all 'WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU BEAT UP ANDY NGO!? NOT HIM YOU IDIOTS!' BANG! And then I'd tell the rest of them to go set up the bombs and THAT is when Batman would show up... It would be dope. But the antifa riots? Naw, if you're going to do Joker shit you always have to do gas bombs."
