I suspect we’ll be seeing something like this soon enough.

They want their welfare, and they want it now!
Welfare used to carry a shameful stigma for those who recieved it. Now they are in your face demanding more! Shameful lowlifes.

The descendants of Plato, Socrates and Archimedes prove one thing: the movie “Idiocracy” is a documentary.

Hey Obama..please note these rioters are leftist govt union people. Who’s violent in this world? The commie left..all your friends.
The same thing would happen here if we cut the pay and retirement of govt workers and also cut welfare programs and actually tried to enforce our immigration laws.
It won’t be the long suffering tax payer..teaparty people who riot..they are god fearing honest people.

The greedy corrupt insiders better hope not...If it ever came here, it would make Greece look like it's a small world Disney ride.

I doubt Obama minds that the left gets violent .... remember his buddy Ayers group figured 25m would die in their effort to “fundamentally transform the United States of America”. To these people violence is only unacceptable when it’s by people who disagree with them.

But these protesters are FOR government spending, so it's understandable rage.

Now if some group AGAINST government spending had done this, it would of course be the next step towards fascism.

All the truly productive Greeks must have come to America two generations ago, started restaurants, worked their
(_!_)’s off, and sent their kids to college.

They left behind the sheep and the cattle. Did anyone see the hammer and sickle’s on the protest banners in Greece? These are people who are looking for a free lunch.

"I suspect we’ll be seeing something like this soon enough."

I'm afraid that what we'll see will be nothing like this...it will be far worse.
