Photojournalist, El Marco was there to record the weirdness in all its glory:
The International Workers’ Day march in Denver brought some colorful characters to Colorado’s Capital Building Saturday. A diverse group of Anarchists, Marxists, and Revolutionary Zapatistas joined forces to protest Arizona’s new immigration law. White skinned people dressed up as tourist trap “Aztecs” burned incense and performed a new age ritual to sanctify the march. They blessed the 4 winds, blew a conch shell and lifted a dried hawks wing skyward. There were about 100 marchers including children.
“Mostly peaceful”

Well, my stars, Greece had a mostly peaceful May Day rally, too:

Thousands of protesters gathered in Athens and other Greek cities to participate in May Day rallies, angered by the harsh austerity measures demanded by the EU. Reports suggest that the 45 billion euros ($60 billion) already pledged by the International Monetary Fund and European Union will be insufficient to tackle Greece’s mounting debt crisis.

Those riot police got off easy. At least they didn’t have to work the dreaded Quincy Tea Party beat.

the only thing of interest in this entire ordeal is the person who dreamed up that killer unicorns would make for a great theme for the parade. The concept is too random and too pointless, but then again, so is dressing up as an Aztec.
