(Onus News Service) May Day 2022 protest, demonstration, rally, and march takes over the streets of Los Angeles on a sunny spring day.

To prevent the Mayday Tribe’s guerrilla-style traffic blockade, the government mustered its brutal military forces (trained to kill in Vietnam) and turned them on its civilian population:

Riot squads swept through the city, arresting more than 12,000 people. As a young female public defender led a thrilling legal battle to free the detainees, Pres. Dick and his men took their first steps down the road to the Watergate scandal and the implosion of the presidency.
