Watch it while you still can: very soon the EU will ban any "tendentious" TV originating from bailed out countries.

This looks like one of the larger Greek riots.

I saw people on fire earlier from petrol bombs

Greece is a country where the unions basically own parliament.

Be forewarned

Greece is a country destroyed by Govt, as this monopolistic shitbag of an institution does to every country ...let them rip each other apart, i've got my popcorn and i'm happy

Thu, 10/20/2011 - 08:29 | 1792151 dwdollar

Wouldn't a country that close to the old Eastern Bloc have some spare AK47s somewhere? It's time for the Greeks to get real. Enough fucking around.

Thu, 10/20/2011 - 08:31 | 1792167 bob_dabolina

I've heard reports that NATO is going into Greece to keep the peace

Next is a no fly zone and drones. It's all coming unglued.

There's a EU policeforce for that... No government oversight. (supranational) http://www.golemxiv.co.uk/2011/10/foreign-riot-police-now-operating-in-greece/
They are allowed to kill greek citizens, according to the Treaty of Lisbon.

"a) Article 2(2) of the ECHR:
‘Deprivation of life shall not be regarded as inflicted in contravention of this Article when it results from the use of force which is no more than absolutely necessary:

in defence of any person from lawful violence;

in order to effect a lawful arrest or to prevent the escape of a person lawfully detained;

in action lawfully taken for the purpose of quelling a riot or insurrection.’

b) Article 2 of the Protocol No 6 to the ECHR:

yep Greece has deja vu too... it's been bankrupt almost 1 day in every 3 of its 'independence' going round in ever decreasing circles ...Groundhog Day with an ever smaller credit card and ever increasing problems

...when the penny drops it's independence from Govt that they need which is causation of ALL the problems (destruction of the economy) then they might see some progress

until they work it out (still clueless to date) let the peanut brained Greeks have a turf war over an ever smaller portion of pizza (watch the public sector starve hahaha:)

Let's Rip

I need some popcorn with my coffee to really enjoy this. Actually I have Snyder's Hot Buffalo Wing Pretzels. Not bad really. Waiting for a collapse in gold and silver so I can buy some. I'm hoping next week is the beginning of the end of this EU nonsense.

Greece's debt can't be written down 50%-60% without triggering a credit event. eol.

Can you have them riot in English the next time please.

why are they fighting against each other?

I see white flags vs. red flags too.

Thu, 10/20/2011 - 08:44 | 1792210 Zero Govt

the Greeks are fighting each other because politicians have promised them the World (on other peoples money) and delivered them another crumbling sack of crap

Promises, promises

Just because snakeoil salesmen wear Govt badges doesn't make them any less than fraudulent lying scum ...when will society ever learn? ...maybe never, yes the majority of society really is that dumb

Thu, 10/20/2011 - 08:53 | 1792265 Chain Gun Smoke

"Anarchists" vs "Communists". "Anarchists" want change. "Communists" aren't ready for it yet and are protecting the parliament.

I wonder if the military will be deployed in Greece against the next peaceful protestors after some agent provocateured violence by undercover police.

We don't have any Predators in the area, do we? Preferably one with cluster bombs.

Oh, alright, we'll use Hellfires and only target the union leaders and politicians.

Rioters seem prepared.

Crash helmets and weapons.

The [unions] will prevail.

FTFY

Thu, 10/20/2011 - 09:24 | 1792425 i-dog

Anywhere the unions are behind it is where TPTB are scripting it for their own [dialectic] ends. The union leaders (most, not all) are not on the side of the people or the worker.

Thu, 10/20/2011 - 08:35 | 1792178 Cash_is_Trash

Not if tanks are involved!!!

Why were rioters attacking each other?

Thu, 10/20/2011 - 08:33 | 1792172 bob_dabolina

Communists (red flags) fighting anarchists (white flags)

Thu, 10/20/2011 - 08:37 | 1792188 tarsubil

Wouldn't anarchists carry black flags? This kinda reminds me of the Blues vs Greens. Wonder if they'll find a way to unite.

Thu, 10/20/2011 - 08:40 | 1792199 tarsubil

Actually, the Blues and Greens had minor teams Reds and Whites!

Thu, 10/20/2011 - 08:31 | 1792160 Corduroy

The people with the red flags are members of PAME the Union of the Greek Communist Party. they arrived in the square early morning and took up positions to try and prevent rioting. The people they are fighting are the 'hoodies' who a lot of people believe are police agitators designed to create the whole tear gas show etc...

Voting by article is not expected to start for another 5 hours so a long long way to go today...

Yep 2 sides. Those that produce and those dependent leech infested parasitical children whom have bribed their Atilla's (political regime) to the point of their own annihilation as the world is now witnessing.

Spoiled children having their tantrums fed by irresponsible parenting and this is the result. I call it "WaaaaaWaaa.....Syndrome", soon to be in the DSMIV/V.

Sadly, to inform fellow zerohedgers, we just had the first casualty of the Greek riots saga.

A 53yo construction worker was demonstrating and got hit by a rock in the head. However cause of death is reported to be a heart syncope.

RIP.

While this is tragic, it does point to the virtues of wearing your H&S gear; in his case, his hard hat.1 In all seriousness, he should have been wearing it as part of an 'official union' uniform, which would have been legal & probably saved his life. THINK BEFORE YOU PROTEST (sigh).

Serious comment: if you suspect the black clad 'anarchists' are actually police (and boy, is there a lot of evidence for it - see any & all G8/20 protests), then you're perfectly entitled to citizen arrest, de-hood, screen capture with your phone & identify on the web. Being undercover automatically removes the legal protections granted via EU treaty to sanctioned law enforcement officials in relation to violence, unless they're very high up in the counter-intelligence brackets. Top tip: policemen often have FB profiles like everyone else, and it is surprisingly easy to ID people via Google image search + open profiles. 'Secret' police hate being ID'd. Plus, you'll also be able to see their family members unless they've been semi-smart.

Also, this being Greece, some of the white/blue flags will be local (police supported) extreme Nationalists, which will be the next phase - TPTB will covertly arm them, and unleash them into crowds. It has already happened, with the death of at least one immigrant [June/July time].

Compare & contrast Iceland with Greece - two different styles of revolution. Not to say Iceland's was actually successful in changing the game, but at least they had fun for all the family.
