Protesters and the family of a 25-year-old black man who died of injuries sustained while in police custody planned a May Day march in Baltimore as they demanded answers and punishment for the officers involved.

Freddie Gray's death is the latest in a string of incidents exposing the tense relations between U.S. minorities and police. Protesters planned to use annual May 1 marches, marking International Labor Day, to focus attention on the case, which follows the killings of unarmed black men in recent months.

Communists have always preferred May Day (just ask the DiC)

There was a time when Reuters and AP were actually good sources of reporting the news

Yup, bringing up “May Day” - communist code.

Would that it once again just meant the pagan celebration of spring.

May Day May Day May Day was always an alert that something is coming in wheels-up, dead-stick, hot, blind, and with the glide angle of a brick.

The bottom line is these cases are being used as excuses to bring down the country, no doubt they are organized by the Obama cabal. I mean please, when has this ever happened before this frequently? And how odd that these riots suddenly pop up a week after the chosen incident and before one shred of evidence is even released. It’s because these riots are planned out and organized in advance, professional dissenters are hired to spread rumors, rile up the crowds. Press agents hired to inflame emotions. The fact is we have an enemy of the United States running the United States who is doing every last thing he can think of to bring about its destruction and Congress refuses to do anything about. Every single last one of these pieces of rat filth in Congress are traitors as far as I’m concerned. Impeachment should be THE #1 Priority above EVERYTHING else with them, they have absolutely no interest whatsoever in defending the people who put them into office, they are absolute scum of the earth, ALL of them! Right now they should be making whatever deal they have to make to get it done ASAP because we still got to go all the way till Jan. 2017 with this crap and I’d hate to see what this country looks like by then, but nope, they refuse because they’re TRAITORS.

Who would have believed that Communists are excited about marching on May Day?

You're absolutely right. The black rioters are just being used as the tip of the spear - but that's how the Communists have always used them or any disaffected group: "the vanguard of the Revolution."
