World 'o protests
Around the world, huge crowds of people are protesting various things.
Whatever they want, it's clear they are upset.
In the United States, millions of Latino immigrants are demonstrating for or against different immigration laws.
Those popular protests have taken place in scores of U.S. cities. But other demonstrations have been strictly local.
In San Francisco, they want a power plant shut down. And in Michigan, Nazis are protesting at an anti-Nazi protest.
Across the Pacific, various protests are big news, too.
In Nepal, protests against the dictator king have turned violent.
Meanwhile in Bangladesh, demonstrators are going wild over shortages of basic foods and daily power outages.
Angry Muslims in Indonesia are rioting outside the offices of the local edition of Playboy, apparently because it doesn't even have pictures of naked women.
Cops arrested Australian students who blocked the streets of Sydney. The students want something or other from the government.
And a deadly trade-fair fire in some Indian town has led to days of frantic demonstrations.
Other protests are happening right now in South Africa, Bolivia, Zimbabwe and Bosnia, while the student protests in France are finally winding down after the government did whatever the students had demanded.
