“Using the emergency powers of the mayor’s office, I’m issuing an order for the limited purpose of giving police the authority to confiscate items that can be used as weapons.”-Mike MGinn, mayor

You rarely hear about May Day labor demonstrations in the crony capitalist country of United States, but the 1st of May became a riot in Seattle, Washington!

The mayor of Seattle, Mike McGinn, issued an order that gave cops “emergency powers”.  McGinn was Seattle’s police chief during the massive 1999 WTO riots,  which were ignored by the main streamer TV media.

Apparently the May Day riot was started by a group called Black Bloc when they held an unannounced protest. They were using flares, metal bars and even a flag pole as weapons of mass destruction against businesses (including some Too Big to Jail banks), vehicles, news reporters and eventually the cops!   Some cops said the Black Bloc members even made incendiary bombs out of toilet paper rolls!

A tourist from Canada said rioters attacked his car, and told him to go back to Canada.

Of course the Black Bloc May Day riot was only a fraction of the size of the 1999 WTO riots (again a massive riot that the main streamer TV media ignored), but it was enough to scare the crap out of the former police chief turned mayor, and basically he declared a state of emergency over it.

By the way there were peaceful May Day demonstrations in Seattle, but the crony capitalist main streamer U.S media never covers such commie activities.
