Plot twist: the protest was an April Fools joke. Only double-twist 10,000 people were fooled and the protest goes ahead anyway.

    I'm pretty sure that actually happened in one of the 18th/19th century European revolutions. Someone said there would be a protest in a newspaper/magazine, and people turned up to see what would happen. And it turned into an actual protest/riot that ended up leading to a revolution.
