And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24:15

May Day Trigger Pulled

Well, just as I was beginning to believe my "May Day" story from a few weeks ago was not going to pan out this year, what do we see?

Yesterday, May 1st, the trigger to massive riots was pulled. Bin Laden had supposedly been killed.

Now, I don't believe this claptrap news that he has been killed but that will not stop the riots.

This event probably had an element of being a well placed distraction story but rest assured that it fulfills the opportunity to celebrate May Day with riots triggered or beginning on said day.

We will have to see what happens.

A headline from Arutz Sheva IsraelNationalNews.com sums it up nicely:

Arabs Riot in Jerusalem Over Bin Laden's Demise, Hamas Angry

Similarly, Arabs in the village of Silwan, adjacent to the City of David neighborhood in Jerusalem, rioted Monday night in protest over the elimination of Osama Bin Laden.

editors note: I understand the entire middle east is in turmoil right now and riots abound but my understanding is that something of importance will spark riots or they will actually begin in conjunction with May 1st.

I wonder what next year will bring?
