    THESSALONIKI, Greece (Reuters) - Police have fired volleys of teargas in Greece's second largest city to disperse about 200 self-styled anarchists who smashed shop windows and set fire to buildings including a McDonald's.

"They threw petrol bombs into the McDonald's and planted anarchist black flags on the footpath outside," correspondent Phillip Pangalos said. "Others attacked nearby shops with axes and sticks."

    Rodrigo Duterte, the mayor of Davao City, is sitting in his favorite bar, After Dark, a glass of brandy in front of him, a .38 pistol tucked in his waistband. He's wearing jeans and a short-sleeved shirt loudly adorned with wine bottles and bunches of red and green grapes—the same outfit he wore to work. While other guests take turns singing along with the piano player, Duterte tells a strange and disturbing story. In 1993, Davao's San Pedro Cathedral was hit with three grenades during an evening Mass. Six parishioners were killed. The attackers were Muslim militants, the sort easily...
