I remember when the 1st of May was a day to pick flowers and celebrate Spring.
Now it's all about protesting, rioting, and damaging public property.
'May Day' protests turn violent in Downtown Seattle
Violence erupts as May Day protesters flood streets
‘Black Bloc’ protesters ignite violence at Seattle May Day protest
There is peaceful protesting and then there's all out violence for the sole reason of being destructive. That's all these black-clad anarchists wanted. It was just an excuse to run rampant through the city and vandalize businesses and cars. People are just trying to work, make some money to put food on their table and now they have to deal with spray paint damage and busted windows. It sucks!
