https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUyib7FeuF4&feature=related"]YouTube - Raw video - Athens Riot 15/12/10 I thought this be refreshing to show from all the crappy footage they show on the nightly news.
I liked the footage... I suppose. But I do not agree that violent protest is the way to go. It is more efficient in getting on the news and getting your message heard, but also demeans your cause and allows the government to say how the people involved are violent and relates them to terrorists. Then again, it is all subjective, should the occasion arise, and need was dire, you should fight for what you believe, I would at least.
what we saw was the end-result of the wealthy recieving the brunt of the rage of an angry and frustrated people who have had enough. any nation burdened by a reactionary system with their boot on ones neck have every right to fight back. even the u.s. constitution tells us that it is our duty to take up arms against our oppressors. all power to all those who are standing against reactionism and officially sanctioned terrorism. power to the people. paisley.
Great to see quality footage, and I definitely liked the violinist at the end! However I gotta say, I don't really approve of smashing store windows. I mean that can be hugely detrimental to the livelihood of the store owners and employees.
