SEATTLE -- Some May Day protestors are running rampant in Downtown Seattle, smashing windows at businesses and cars as they marched through city streets Tuesday afternoon.
Video from Air 4 has shown smashed windows at a Wells Fargo, a Downtown Federal Courthouse, and Niketown, among others.
KOMO News reporter Joel Moreno says he and his photographer had been hit with a paint bomb while covering the march and ensuing riot.
He says about 50 people clad in all black outfits were throwing paint at buildings and cars, marking the anarchist symbols, "but there were certainly others not dressed in black participating in criminal behavior."
The march itself began with about 200 people and then the group in black inserted itself into the middle of the parade body.
"They wasted no time," Moreno said. "They went about two blocks before they started damaging property."
Moreno said that's when he was hit with a paint bomb. But up ahead he started hearing glass shatter.
"We turned the corner and saw large storefronts at Wells Fargo smashed in," he said. "We saw a firebomb of some sort at the U.S. Court of Appeals where they went in and bashed the windows." Moreno said it looks like a firebomb was lobbed inside: "We saw smoke coming from inside the windows."
As protestors smashed windows at Niketown, store owners at nearby American Eagle store blocked their doors while customers were still inside in an effort to keep rioters out.
Police were using pepper spray, said a Seattlepi.com photographer who was caught in a melee.
There are no word on the number of any arrests.

And I would probably agree with you.
Understand that they are doing this to provoke a
harder police presence at ALL demonstrations, thus
making things harder for Tea party and everyone else.
Thus all become “oppressed”, community organization
works best if ALL are pushed to the limit.
These are tried and true tactics of the left.
So we’re in the middle of an economic downturn, trying to rebuild employment, and people think it’s cool to go on a destructive rampage against the very companies who try to help people get a job? What are these people? econuts or something?
Rioters and looters should be shot down like rabid dogs and their bodies left to rot in the streets.
...I can’t sanction that kind of violence, but, that being said, something of a pernicious nature should happen to these idiots...maybe conscription a la Dirty Dozen and being forced onto the front lines in a war zone and prime exposure to bodily harm...that, or maybe forced to listen for hours on end to recordings of our parish folk group doing Dan Shutte songs, can’t think of anything less appealling than that...
I sure wouldn’t hesitate if they came after my business or store. The barrels on my 12 ga’s Remy 1187 & 870 would be glowing white hot.
Somebody tell me...what’s so constitutional about what these assh*les are doing?
If we put them on the front lines and they all had signs saying “We support the terrorists” and they were still killed, it would be America’s fault for screwing over the muslims.
why would anyone be surprised?
Rioting and looting put innocent parties in immediate danger of death or grave bodily harm. Furthermore, widespread and major property damage and robbery are felonies, and are not likely to be stopped by reason or persuasion. Therefore, IMO the use of lethal force against rioters and looters is justified.
I'm old enough to remember cities going up in flames during riots.
Have they blown up any bridges yet?
Along with attacking an innocent Tap House Bar and Grill.
They haven’t started heading my way yet. They plan to end their little march at the Wells Fargo next door, but I intend to be long gone.
You can’t sanction that kind of violence, huh? I’m sort of sure that if you were standing there, watching this collection of barbarians destroy that which you have dedicated you life and future to building, you wouldn’t be quite so calm and reasonable.
In a “demonstration like these” a shouting voice is lost in the noise, but the sharp sound of a 9mm is truly heard.
Seattle and San Francisco created their own toilet bowls. Let them swim in the poop.
Men in Black? Are Anarchistic Ninja’s taking over? LOL.
Shoot them.
That's a tad extreme. Plus you'd have the problem of disease with the rotting corpses. I think threatening them with a job would be worse for them. Working for a living would qualify as torture in the minds of most leftists.

...true enough, I do as well, as I date back to high school in the mid 1960’s, remembering well the craziness in Newark, N.J...don’t know what to say about these asinine clowns...
The curious part of these annual marches is the useful idiots that attempt to give this celebration legitimacy by marching peacefully and giving cover to the violent marchers who are purposely trying to create incidents to further their agenda.
Until then ... I think IB's endless Dan Schutte concert is a good start, but would improve it by adding Marty Haugen, David Haas, and Carey Landry to the (dreadful) mix. I'd add that those who are not Catholic may not understand the full horror of what we're suggesting.
