Video of Greece strike turning violent in Athens

Young demonstrators hurled rocks and fire bombs at riot police as clashes broke out on Wednesday in Athens during a mass rally against austerity measures, part of a general strike that crippled services and public ransportation around the country. Police fired tear gas and flash grenades at protesters, blanketing parts of the city centre in choking smoke. RT on Facebook:

    @JFM94 Because if you had any idea what the police (especially the ones on the motorbikes) are like in Greece, even you would throw a firebomb.

    Greeks are such lazy asses… stop protesting for everything.. go back to work or create your own company.. or even better.. leave Greece alone!

    This is what happens when the money runs out and all the people who feel entitled to other people paying their way learn the hard truth that they’ll have to actually work.

    Wow.
    Don’t be grateful for the bailout.
    I mean, what was their alternative?

    @STGshenanigans The exact same cop tha fell down, just before getting thrown off his bike had just ran over 2 non-violent protesters , a fact that has also been caught on video. Even though he had no second thoughts running over 2 people, which is accurately shown on the video that he’s caught doing it, i think he still deserves a little mercy as far as the molotov goes…. It was a bit too much. If they had just beat the living crap out of him, as a Greek, i’d be ok with that.
