Re: It's May day, ...

In seattle it draws both Organized Labor/ immigration reformers (what May day represents internationally.
And Organized Anarchist's (the Original OxyMorons ) wanting to relive the 1999 WTO riot. (And just have some "good" clean fun breaking stuff and assaulting peaceful marchers, police, and any one else in their path)

A sad smear on an otherwise well meant demonstration.
This are the same people disrupting Uber drivers early this week (I don't really favor Uber's business practices, but take it out on the company, not the drivers.)

I had not heard of Uber before---had to look it up.

I remember that. I wasn't here for it but several of my coworkers in the DSS (Diplomatic Security Service) were. Many of them were itching for a go at the protesters. I remembered thinking that Seattle PD should have taken lessons from MPD (Wash DC) on how to deal with protesters. I always had fun watching the news reports of MPD vs protesters.
