Here, some pics of the May Day in Seattle..
And, before the protests march gathered and turned ugly because of the actions of a few anarchists. There was some music, playing, and much all around happiness to add to the very sunny weather. Many had messages of a large variety of which there may be disagreements, but are still generally built on selfless desires for a better world.
But then the sky turned a little dark, and the eventually march turned ugly for many seeking protest through peaceful measures. Much of what frustrates me in coverage and reactions is how quick people are to label protesters and anti-establishment types as violent troublemakers. Yes, there are the few mixed in, but the grand majority are a peaceful bunch with messages toward passionate social awareness. I feel much of the media fails to report such, so here’s a sampling of how May Day best represents the central Seattle city.

Sigh. I suppose you just had to go and see? While people like me stay safe at home? Thank you for your witness to peaceful expression…..but I am scolding you……please try for a more relaxing week. Chill.

Well, I had faith the time I was around there would be calm (I also live very close to there too).. Thanks 🙂 With increased work and errands, I will do my best for a more relaxing week, but try not to stress in doing so, lol

Soak up some sun, and drink lots of water. And don’t forget the display at the Fremont Branch Library, I will be there on Saturday from 11 to 1 with my Historical Society buddies.

Aww, thanks for the invite. But, sadly couldn’t make it…way too much to be done elsewhere that day (Also recovering from bad sickness). Hopefully there will be another time 🙂
