GREEK RIOTS: Greek protesters seize TV studio

stay safe

Power to the people!!

I've experienced earthquakes and fires, and protest but this has me shaking.

Why are they rioting?

That was lame.Just wait until the American riots start.

Yes, ok. BUT NOT HURTING PEOPLE WHILE DOING IT. There are reports of people trapped in burning buildings. Just ordinary people like you and I....what the fuck did they ever do?

It has finally begun!

This is it!

Flee first, ask questions later.

Things are unraveling worldwide. It begins in the ancient birthplace of democracy. The spreading social unrest, coming soon to a city near you.

why the hell aren't you out there with them, supporting your countrymen??

COWARD!

There was a shooting the other night....a group of kids attacked a police offer's car while he was patrolling the area. A cop shot one of the boys.

I keep hearing different versions of this story, I don't think anybody really knows what happened.

There is also the clashing of political parties....but that is another story.

First of all I AM NOT GREEK. I'm American living in Greece.

And I DO NOT believe in violence.

This spells prolonged and severe D-O-O-M.

ON A SIDE NOTE:

hey cosmic bee... if ya need a strong mans to protect you, im free.





























but only if thats really you in your avatar though, sorry... yes, im picky.

Amen, sister.

Pin, pin pin!

I got my Greek hubby who I ADORE!!!! lol He is keeping me safe! :)

Yes, that's me. ;)But my hair is black now. :)

maybe you'll relax later-just a shock to your system. Sounds like the cops have an ass kicking coming to them. You can't go around shooting people and not expect blowback, maybe even a civil war if the people have a lot of suppressed rage. That even your economy is affected by the global slow down could be one more reason for the tempers, but it doesn't alter the fact that the offense has been commited and genuine justice should have been done. In short screw the cops if they did this without appropriate cause!

I keep hearing people talk about a civil war breaking out out here. Crazy....

wow... i just got shut down.



WHATS YOUR HUSBAND GOT TO DO WITH ME!?!?!?!?!?!

but seriously... you probably look better with the black hair anyways, i got a thing for red heads but brunettes are my number one love.


















tell the hubby i said high!!!

Sorry you don't believe in violence. It solves a lot of problems esp. when whom your up against also believe in it as the cops do. Friendliness in the face of oppression is viewed as weakness-maybe you'll see it that way to one day. We need a war for true freedom not one of the bullshit wars to further enrich the superwealth and please the Satan worshippers who run our govts.

Sounds like a non-NWO orchestrated spontaneous event. Nada on drudge or CNN headline news.

There's gotta be more to it than just a single killing.

Wonder if its a Rodney King riot or bona fide revolution.

They are rioting because they do not think it is acceptable for police to shoot dead a 16yo boy.

I can completely understand why the OP, an American, has a hard time comprehending that.

Are you Greek?

Coming soon to a country near you.............


Get ready Americans!

I wish I could argue with you, but I'm so pissed off at seeing the self-destruction of a country I have come to love dearly as my second home.....one person gets killed so we kill ten to revolt? Logic in this? None. To solve a problem, would it not be better to cut the head off the snake?

ATHENS, Greece (CNN) -- Hundreds of young self-styled anarchists rioted in the streets Sunday and attacked police in several Greek cities in a fury over the shooting death of a teenager by a member of an elite police corps.

The shooting on Saturday night triggered demonstrations and violence across the country, which had not abated by Sunday.

"It at first seemed like it was calming down today, but then at 5 p.m. Athens time it kicked off again," said Joel Brown, a CNN senior press officer visiting Athens. "There are lots of burning bins and debris in the street and a huge amount of tear gas in the air, which we got choked with on the way back to our hotel."

Tourists holed up in downtown Athens hotels were told by hotel staff not to leave their rooms as police fanned out across the city, Brown said.

The U.S. and British embassies issued warnings to employees and tourists on Sunday, instructing them to avoid downtown Athens and other major cities until rioting subsides.

The police officer who fired the fatal shot has been charged with "manslaughter with intent" and suspended from duty, police said, adding that a second police officer was arrested Saturday on criminal accessory charges.

Demonstrators barricaded city streets Sunday in Athens and Thessaloniki and hurled petrol bombs as they battled with police, who fought back with tear gas in the second day of rioting. Video Watch youths riot in Greece »

Rampaging youths smashed storefronts and burned businesses, leaving shattered glass and burnt debris scattered across both cities.

Residents of an apartment building in central Athens were evacuated on Sunday after angry demonstrators torched a car dealership on the basement floor.

A police statement about the boy's death said the incident started when six young protesters pelted a police patrol car with stones. The 16-year-old boy was shot as he tried to throw a fuel-filled bomb at the officers, police said.

Other youths converged on the site almost immediately.

These young people -- often referred to in Greece as " the known-unknowns" -- use texting and Web sites to organize and communicate.

Fighting between youths and police quickly erupted in other parts of Greece, including Thessaloniki, the country's second largest city. Hundreds of youths took to the streets of the sprawling port city, and finally barricaded themselves behind the gates of a state university, where police are barred from entering.

No deaths were reported, though police say several police officers have been injured. iReport.com: Are you there? Share photos, video of rioting

Police say some protesters have been rounded up for questioning.

Government officials, fearing more violence, swiftly condemned the shooting.

"An investigation is under way and those found responsible with be punished," said Interior Minister Prokopis Pavlopoulos. "Measures will also be taken to avoid such incidents again in the future."
