Plaza Murillo
Feeding pigeons in Plaza Murillo. This plaza is located right in front of the presidential Palace (aka the burnt palace for it's frequent torchings, Bolivia has had something like 192 governments and 100 or so revolutions). La revolucion es muerto, viva la revolucion! Additionally, the Plaza Murillo has some nice lampposts for lynching. At least two people have been hung there - Senor Murillo (for which the plaza is named), and a president in 1942. The president lost (not sure if he also instigated) a costly war. A bunch of mad peasant widows marched on the capital and lynched him.
