Sh*t is going down in Athens

submitted by radx

1 decade 3 years 6 months 2 weeks ago

Hundreds of protesters clashed with riot police across central Athens on Wednesday, smashing cars and hurling gasoline bombs during a nationwide labour protest against the government's latest austerity measures. The former Minister for Development Kostis Hatzidakis was attacked by protesters outside a luxury hotel. He was escorted, bleeding from the scene as his attackers yelled "thieves" at him. [RT]

If there's a clip more deserving of PE's "Fight the Power," I'd like to see it.

Or, if you're into counter-programming...Louie Armstrong's "It's a Wonderful World," that might be cooler.

This isn't a riot, this is a battle, dear goodness.

It rarely happens that someone says "the coppers are on fire today" and actually means it literally. Still, that's precisely the case in both Greece and Italy these days.

""Greeks need to hear that their sacrifices are leading somewhere, that there is something better at the end of the road," said Panagopoulos. "The government has to offer hope over the next three months, otherwise it will lose the game.""

Wow, that sounds crazy terrible
