Athens is burning !
During my brief stay...
I wanted to buy a duty-free Rolex Deep Sea and those bad boys in Athens, set my favorite Rolex show room on fire The good part is that the tear gas used was of excellent quality.. |

It is a shame. My wife and I went to Greece and loved it, Athens was great. We walked through Syntagma Square where the rioting is taking place. It's a crying shame...hopefully it ends very soon.

Sorry to hear that TK. Saw quite a bit of the action on CNN. It all started over the shooting of a 15 year old boy by the cops and then escalated all over the country.
Hope things return to normalcy soon. JJ

With great risk at sounding ignorant, if anyone should riot it should be us Americans at the bailouts/rewards going on in this country. God bless the Greeks passion, we could use some over here.

Man, I hope everything works out over there. People getting hurt either physically or financially is never a good thing. Good luck to all those out there near this crisis.

This unfortunate event was only the spark that set off people with other, deep seated grievances. Being Greek myself, I can assure you the country has more than it's share of problems.
