Violent Riots Break Out in Greece

While France burns, Greece has decided to go into riot-mode, as well.  However, Greece is not protesting environmental tyranny.  Their violence in the street erupted so as to mark the tenth anniversary of a 'police brutality' killing of a 15 year old kid who was gunned down by officers in 2008.

Athens was ablaze as riot police and rioters faced off in the streets.  The police had batons and tear gas flying when protesters decided the best way to show their anger about violence was to begin throwing petrol bombs and fireworks.

Other clashes broke out during demonstrations in the northern city of Thessaloniki, with police firing tear gas and stun grenades at protesters after being pelted with stones and petrol bombs.

In France they are calling for revolution.  In Greece they are calling for peace and safety from the cops.  In both cases, the way they decided was best to achieve peace was through violence.

Yeah, makes sense.
