More video of Greek riots, 18 detained, 4 police injured (From Russia Today, June 28, 2011)

A communications truck was set on fire in central Athens on Tuesday, and youths hurled rocks and fire bombs at riot police, as a huge demonstration against new austerity measures descended into violence. The demonstration was called by unions, alongside a general strike that has brought the country to a standstill. Firefighters arrived on the scene to extinguish the blazing truck, the second one to be set alight during Tuesday's riots. Tuesday's clashes came at the start of a two-day strike called by unions furious that the new 28 billion euro (40 billion US Dollar) austerity program will slap taxes on minimum wage earners and other struggling Greeks.

@therealjakethesnake Agreed. This was indeed planned, just like the coming economic implosion of the United States was planned.

EU = corporate globalist IMF/ Goldman Sachs experiment, to make debt slaves, i hope Greeks put a big stick in their eye.

Damn, beautiful Athens looks worse then my home city, Belgrade (Serbia) after Pro-Mladic riots month ago... Fight on, Greek brothers, you were always free people, so fight! EU wants to dump you, and IMF earns money on your crisis! FIGHT!

These riots are ineffective and meaningless if the people let the police keep them under control then the government feels like they still have power. The only way that riots work out is if they overrun the police and the military is forced to be called in. If that happens the rioters have already won.

[therealjakethesnake]

The greek people have my full support. All this is planned to steal the inheritage and real assets of the greek people. The history repeats itself over and over again. Antimeasure, please explain why you think this is funny.

[deathlesszero]
