Suitably Flip

May Day NYC (Video)

Yesterday's May Day Boycott/Protest in New York was much as you might expect.  Demands for immediate and unconditional amnesty for all illegal immigrants, pleas to fight American imperialism, plenty of unrelated diatribes about Katrina, Iraq, and Iran, and occasional unison-chanted threats like, "No justice, no peace!"

I've compiled a little video montage from my visit to the pre-march rally in Union Square.  Within a certain radius of the central PA system, the audio came through as an unholy cacophony (in person, it was marginally less piercing, but my equipment was unequal to the task of taming it).  In these segments, I've dubbed in some traditional march music to suit the occasion.

Enjoy.
