May Day is when elderly Stalinists brandish velvet portraits of their favorite Socialist leader in the Red Square and when Seattle tenured anthropologists and anarchist punks show their great love for this country by violently hating it at the May Day Anti-capitalist March. So here we go again.
Two police officers were injured and several people arrested on Sunday when a group of May Day demonstrators turned unruly, throwing rocks and bottles and breaking windows, the Seattle police department said.
One officer suffered a laceration to the head or face as protesters hurled Molotov cocktails, the department said in a series of posts on Twitter.
Since this is Seattle, that means cops wrestling with trustafarians whose bikes cost more than their entire annual salary.
Another protester was detained. Crowd is yelling slurs at cops.#MayDaySea#videopic.twitter.com/6p2tx9L4kS

When asked who was being hung... "It's the Monopoly Man -- Capitalist scum," said the man on the right. pic.twitter.com/rkQJOCmfM3
