Tacoma: Anarchist begins serving jail sentence for “Mayday riots”

On Saturday Aug. 16th, Bryan Riggins, a Tacoma-based anarchist, started serving the 73 day (lessened from the initial 120) sentence he received stemming from the events of May Day 2008.

On July 21, 2009, the events of May Day 2008 finally came to a close with the sentencing of four anarchists of the South Sound region. For over a year they have been legally bound to endure an array of court dates, legal costs, extradition waivers, etc. All this has stemmed from some debatable interactions with banks that have since then had a wide impact on the Olympia activist and broader communities.
