Greek government does not want people to express their disappointment by protesting so in every protest they are throwing enormous amounts of tear gas to the crowd and are making arrests of innocent people to scare the rest. Then they are charging them with fake accusations.
A chain reaction of protests riots and demonstrations in Athens sparked by the fatal shooting of a 15-year old child by police.

Like anarchits around the world...they protest just to protest. A reason is not needed and gives them something to do in their dull lives. Fuck anarchits scumbags.

The greeks have more than enough reason to protest, because police men all over the world only protect those with money and power and they don't give a shit about how normal people feel.

well, I don't think it's so simple....It's important to try to find out why these youths hide so anger in their souls....As newton said once, for every action there is an equal reaction provoked...If youths are getting raised in violence of every type and educated by completely failed educational systems, their angry behaviour becomes a natural conseguence....

It's kinda sad, knowing that some of the youths in Greece are just protesting for the sake of protesting, or rioting for the sake of throwing flaming objects at police forces.
