First video of Athens night clashes as Greece fights austerity

Uploaded by RussiaToday on Oct 19, 2011
Firefighters were called in late on Wednesday to extinguish piles of rubbish set ablaze by protesters in Athens after riots broke out during a demonstration by about 100-thousand people on the first of a two-day general strike. Violence spread across the centre of the city earlier in the day, following the massive anti-government rally against painful new austerity measures. Authorities said about 3,000 police were deployed on the capital's streets.

Greece does us proud ! A lesson in how to revolt for real . In other countries undergoing 'revolutions' and 'transitions to democracy', too many people can be convinced to fear losing the 'nothing' they possess rather than take arms to earn the 'lots' others monopolize.
