One of the best documentations of last year's May Day was from local blogger Game Jew. From start to end, he captures the excitement of the day and how it turned to complete chaos. The LAPD has done some retraining and today at the May Day marches and rallies, that will put it to test.

GueriLA, the LA sister offshoot of Improv Everywhere, has done it again and they're growing.

Seen earlier today on Gawker and Dan Savage's blog via YouTube, but taken down (because it's so amazingly homophobic and hateful?), only to remain on MySpace, here is the craziest video of the day, "God Hates a Fag". Here at LAist, even though we (still) believe that the Freaked Out Bride video is real, we will have to assume that this is satire.
