In Istanbul, Turkey, riot police gassed and fired water cannons at dozens of demonstrators trying to get to the popular-tourist destination of Taksim Square for May 1 demonstrations. Groups carrying May 1 international Workers' Day banners and chanting "Long live Workers' Day" while trying to the square were dispersed using water cannons and tear gas in Istanbul's Besiktas district. Istanbul is now on a citywide shut down. Traffic has been restricted and public transportation to the square has been suspended including subways, metrobuses as well as ferry services that connect the city's European side to the Asian side. "We are expecting a problematic May 1," said Istanbul Governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu told broadcaster CNNTurk. "It would have been easy to solve this," he said. Across the Aegean Sea, Greeks are turning out in Athens to show their anger at austerity measures that have sent the country's economy into a tailspin. But Nathalie Savaricas, a Greek journalist, told CNN that Labor Day protests in Athens were relatively muted this year as fewer Greeks decided to demonstrate.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/01/world/world-may-day-protests/"]More Countries Covered in Source.[/URL]
"give us free shit"
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;40491255]"give us free shit"[/QUOTE] It's as if you have no idea what the Worker's day is about.
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;40491255]"give us free shit"[/QUOTE] Maybe when you grow up you'll actually understand what this is about. You know... When you start working instead of living off your parents' backs.
There were apparently some demonstrations where I live as well. I went downtown for dinner earlier and there were still police all over the place around the main shopping district.
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;40491255]"give us free shit"[/QUOTE] You seem to be posting stupid things with increasing frequency. is everything alright at home?
Yeah nothing here apart from people getting drunk :P
Don't they have jobs to go to? It's the middle of the week
[QUOTE=Doozle;40492195]Don't they have jobs to go to? It's the middle of the week[/QUOTE] In many countries, the first of may is an official day off.
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;40491255]"give us free shit"[/QUOTE] Are you ok man? Recently your posts are getting more shit.

[QUOTE=Doozle;40492195]Don't they have jobs to go to? It's the middle of the week[/QUOTE] It's the worker's day. You are not supposed to work that day, but make your voice heard.
It seems to be Dain has been following a familiar downward spiral, simultanously into Ayn Raëlianism and 'racial realism'. I hope he gets better [IMG]http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/smile.gif[/IMG]

[video=youtube;CFfc4UWzVB8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFfc4UWzVB8[/video] My town last year :v:
Today I learned that the holiday actually has its origins in the United States over a riot caused my Socialists at a hay market in which one officer died. The seven leaders of the Socialist movement back then were all hanged.

[QUOTE=Bucketboy;40493651][video=youtube;CFfc4UWzVB8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFfc4UWzVB8[/video] My town last year :v:[/QUOTE] Vice seemed to side with the leftists on that. It's funny how all the leftists seemed to be kids that were running riot and being the aggressors which made the nationalists look a lot better in comparison.
Speaking of, how's Seattle's May Day protest going? Is it looking much like last year?
[QUOTE=person11;40494302]Today I learned that the holiday actually has its origins in the United States over a riot caused my Socialists at a hay market in which one officer died.

[QUOTE=Doozle;40492195]Don't they have jobs to go to? It's the middle of the week[/QUOTE] may day is either a day off for a lot of people, or people go on general strike on may day.

[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;40491255]"give us free shit"[/QUOTE] The sad thing is that I actually saw things being protested for that are much stupider than this.
