MAY-DAY 2010 IN SAN FRANCISCO

this may day the Members of B(A)sh Homophobia made the way to San Francisco,CA to Dolores park to attend the May-day events and to take part in the Reclaim the streets march( the march was not a permitted march) at the park they had booths from AK press and homes not jails and many other local and bay area based action groups. the flags flying where a mix of Anarcho flags( from all forums) and pure black flags and the crowed as a vast mix of Family's, hippies, Anarchist and just anti Capitalist etc as well made skits and speeches from local activist and student groups. the Reclaim the streets march started from the Park and made it way to the finance dist of the city during the march loud music was playing from portable boxes and we shut down a intersection for a dance party for around 15mins stopping the flow of cars. the march made it way down the Castro stopping Traffic and a few trash cans got tipped over as we made out way down Castro heading to the finance dist. the line of cops behind us and in front of us did not hinder us as we kept on marching as we made our way to the finance dist a window was smashed with a bike wheel and trash cans and news paper stands tipped into the street cops used smoke to try and stop the crowed but it did not work, then some took over and occupied a empty building to take it over and take a stand and to press and bring to light the need for more housing and affordable housing. the cops gave waring to the people inside but we did not move and so the cops came in and arrested a few and the rest made it out, outside on the street store front glass windows got smashed and a small make shift trashcan etc barricade was made in the street. the event came to a slow around 10pm, all in all it was a great proactive and productive may day 2010 in San Francisco.
