Anti-capitalist May Day march in Seattle

Anti-capitalist marchers took to the streets of Seattle on May Day, marching for almost five hours, covering nearly ten miles as they were flanked by Seattle Police officers. After a few scuffles, a bit of pepper spray and a broken Metro bus window, they eventually gathered in Capitol Hill where they lit a trash can on fire and declared victory. Ten people were arrested during the march. You can see complete coverage here.
