May 1 in Germany is Labor Day, a national holiday. as such, all businesses and government jobs are closed in observance of people's right to work, and the people plan a riot to show their appreciation. Historically, the anti-fascists have squared off against the police in neighborhoods like Kreuzberg, and have celebrated their hate for fascist government by getting boozed up, throwing pieces of cobblestone at the authoritative figures, overturning and setting ablaze the cars of citizens, and looting shops. lots of innocent rioters get arrested as the police invoke their right to keep the peace, and lots of citizens get pissed cause their stuff is ruined. afterward, everybody goes home, has a brotchen an rests for next year.according to reports, the riots have calmed in the last years, as the government has been organizing huge parties with bands and food vendors in an effort to get the people dancing instead of fighting, and it appears to be working. because, after all, when you have a beer, a bratwurst and David Hasselhoff performing at the foot of the Brandenberg Gate, what is there to fight about? i suppose we'll see tonight . . .

Wow. That's kind of like what my May 1st was like.
Except that on mine, we leave baskets of flowers on people's porches and run away.
