I do like the so called "anarchists" protesting there. Presumably if the police shot them they wouldn't mind because random shooting equals anarchy. Or have I missed something?

The "protestors" compare themselves to the resistance to the Nazi occupation of Greece during WWII. They prefer to be called the Resistance.

It can only be anarchic shooting if police fire weapons on full auto while spinning around like tops.

So, the bill was approved. Germany tomorrow

You know, if the Troika had demanded the first-born male of every Greek family in order for Greece to stay in the euro . . . just sayin' :(

The ordoliberals and neoliberals think this is sending a message. It is, but not the message they think.
