In Xenakis's forum, another poster actually found one. In 1932 the governor of Newfoundland was considered corrupt. A peaceful protest turned violent when the police tried to quell the people. The mob drove the legislature and the governor out of the chambers. This eventually resulted in Britain taking direct control of Newfoundland. There were no democratic elections in Newfoundland until they eventually joined Canada, the only colony that was kicked out of the British Empire.You don't have to go back that far. A group of Left Wing protestors stormed the Wisconsin state capitol and shut it down within the last 20 years.
Check out the Wiki article if you are curious.
