From a young friend of mine who lives in Athens and was beaten up by fascist members of Golden Dawn.

"There's a reason why police only kill a kid every ten or fifteen years in Greece - It's because every time it happens, we set the country ABLAZE in response. And for those who claim it's 'anarchist terror' or 'arson', or ask, "Why should a clothing store have to be destroyed because ONE cop did something bad?" the response is twofold: 1) We don't kill anyone - they do. We're keeping them in line. 2) Stop equating the destruction of 'private' property with the loss of human life. Ferguson is a long-overdue step forward for America. Be inspired and put police terror to an end. A.C.A.B. (And to all "Good cops" - Quit and become firefighters or paramedics. Let's see if you can handle even a week doing that.)

Which calls for an absurd protest.

Personally, I hope Darren piece of shit doesn't have a days peace for the rest of his sorry ass life.

"don't fuck up these restaurants." They made a line and wouldn't let anyone trash the businesses.

but the agents P did screw up a cop car pretty good.

"Outside agitators trying to fuck up our shit."

Military vehicle just showed up. Tear gas being thrown. Rubber bullets. And the protesters were doing NOTHING but chanting. This is just fucking bullshit. The cops are the ones escalating this.

"Whole air filled with teargas"
"Can I get flushed out please?"

Protesters were in street, repeatedly told to disperse, then 5 minutes later, teargas, rubber bullets?

Some were pitching cannisters back a t cops.

Driving through the protest area? A city bus? What could that driver have been thinking?
