Yeah there have been unbelievable riots in all of Greece\'s major cities. There has been a pretty strong anarchist movement in Greece since it was under military control, in the 70s I think. These anarchists took the demonstrations and turned them into riots, and the college students who started the protests are just going with it.
I understand why they\'re pissed at the cops... But it really sucks that they\'re burning and looting peoples\' stores and homes. It\'s a terrible time for a store owner to lose merchandise, during the Xmas season when they really need the sales...
Although I don\'t agree with a country being under military control, I can understand Greece would make that move. My Aunt was injured during one of Black September\'s attacks on Athen\'s Airport in 1973 and the Greek police and soldiers that came in and took control of the situation eseentially saved her life. I really find that image of attacking the cops in poor taste.
