ATHENS, Greece – Deadly riots over harsh new austerity measures engulfed the streets of Athens on Wednesday, killing three bank workers as angry protesters tried to storm parliament, hurled Molotov cocktails at police and torched buildings.
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets as part of nationwide strikes to protest new taxes and government spending cuts demanded by the International Monetary Fund and other European nations before heavily indebted Greece gets a euro110 billion ($141 billion) bailout package of loans to keep it from defaulting.
The three bank workers — a man and two women — died after demonstrators set their bank on fire along the main demonstration route in central Athens. As their colleagues sobbed in the street, five other bank workers were rescued from the balcony of the burning building.

We're currently IN a deflationary depression. $2 trillion of government debt this fiscal year is the ONLY thing that fakes the citizens of our nation into believing otherwise.
Time for live ammo.”
Exactly. Mow down the sonsofb!tches.
I don’t doubt it.
If people are cancelling travel plans then what else can you do?
those lines are their riot shields
Yep this is our future. Obama and the rest of the leftists would love for something like this to happen in the US.
Obama is just the president.
How many are in congress?
Remember Kerry’s “do you know who I am?!”. Those congress critters think they are the overseers of the slave masses.
The frolick in hedonism and excess with their staffers while America starves.

Makes me yearn for the days when South Korea was facing riots of this kind. Now THOSE police/military folks knew how to deal with rioters.
I already did that. As you said it’s silly - not worth any more time. But thank you for answering.
Come to think of it . . . those guys could pass as Greek, too!
Hard to see but that would account for it. Thank you for pointing that out. It’s amazing that a photographer was able to capture the moment when the flames erupted in so many photos. Must have been following the action closely and clicking the button repeatedly to get them. I wouldn’t want to be that close myself.
When you take away the government freebies, the eaters will riot.
I beleive what you are referring to is a crack in the sidewalk. Look again
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
There’s no “Citizens” left in Greece - just a bunch of greedy thugs demanding their share of their neighbors’ livelihood.
If we don’t start cutting the size of government, will face the same bankruptcy problem some time.
Lots of Fisters in both groups.
You're right. But as God-fearing, honest, patriotic Americans, I believe we need to rise up & confront those who "demand" for their entitlement rights & privileges. We are seeing the exact same thing in AZ now, with the pro-illegal aliens & bleeding heart liberals who rail on AZ for being "racist" when in fact the dimTURD liberals are condoning lawlessness & violent rioting. I think the rioters would turn & run for the hills when confronted by a conservative & ARMED majority.
The “Red” Hour approaches.
