Riots on streets in Athens on police shooting anniversary
80 replies, posted
Youths hurled rocks at banks and shop windows in central Athens and riot police retaliated by firing tear gas during protest marches on Monday to mark the second anniversary of the police shooting of a teenager which sparked days of mass rioting.
It also coincides with fears of a possible new terrorist attack following the arrest of six terrorists over the weekend.
Protesting youths could be seen pelting police and the finance ministry building with rocks as well as smashing shops, banks and phone booths.
Authorities had already put in place precautions with police closing roads and deploying more than 5,000 officers along the streets of the capital, Athens.

Wow, tear gas the crowd on the day you shot someone...
"Hey guys, let's protest violence, with [B]more[/B] violence!"
Brilliant.

Let's throw rocks at businesses that had nothing to do with a shooting on its anniversary!
Let's protest our government using unfair violence against innocent people by using violence against innocent people! That will show those...shopkeepers and banks.

...and innocent women and children.
Wasn't the original shooting caused by some teen throwing a firebomb at a police officer, anyways?

I remember an article saying they had rocks being thrown at them.
I thought that they were protesting one of their own shooting a police officer from the title.

They're anarchists, they don't believe in food, medicine and other everyday essentials.
I wish kids in the US weren't too pussy to do stuff like this.
:clint:
Fuck some shit up.

Yes, because destroying property for no fucking reason is really going to change anything.

That message being, "I'm maladjusted degenerate who just wanted an excuse to smash other people's stuff."
I'd say BEAT THOSE FUCKERS UP POLICE, i support you. Do you want to protest? Do it the legal and right way, whats the point of going to the streets destroy everything you see and cuss the police? Your results will be the one and only, getting tear gas'd by the police, get beaten by the police, get shot by the police...man i could go way more on examples but i think you guys got the picture.
Looks like they're all terrorists, time to use live rounds. :clint:
We are witnessing the process of De-Evolution people, a once proud and intellectual country is reverting back to early man.
I mean honestly, what do they think they will accomplish by breaking shit and lighting it on fire?!

I wasn't hinting racism anywhere there, I was just making a metaphor for how they are acting.

Kids in the US get into shootouts with the fuzz on a day to day basis.
No one riots about it because it isn't some profound occasion when it happens.
a couple months ago i participated in a riot in athens, the mob tried taking over the parliament building but instead a whole bunch of people got tazed and beaten by cops

kudos to grecian people for taking action for what they believe in, even if the actions dont make a whole lot of sense
its better than the americans who accept every bad decision the government makes
You cannot correct a bad decision through other bad decisions, it's a bad idea.

How about you go ahead? I'll be sitting on my nice comfy chair and stay tuned on the news of some retard [sp]you[/sp] getting tazed for breaking a shop window during a riot. No one is going to stop you, you can do whatever you want to do.

You're not even fighting against the right kind of people you dumbass. You just vandalize businesses and threaten cops.
