Look, this is the way it's always been done, it's traditional. You have fireworks on the fourth of July, you hunt for candy on Easter, and you dress up in historical costume and ritualistically smash stuff on May Day. In order to surprise people.

They dress up and break stuff on May Day to shake people out of their routine complacency, because it is traditional to dress up and break stuff on May Day to shake people out of their routine complacency.

And why on May 1st? For me its like trying to riot on christmas lunch. Here its a family thing, you bring the kids into town to protest and then hang out in the sun with snacks, music and perhaps a party afterwards.

Is it wierd to wonder why? I mean I guess I'm more positive to the whole thing than the majority of the readers of the Stranger but I still don't get it? Why riot on our day? Why use Blackbloc? Gah...
