A vendetta between the police and the anarchists has been allowed to build up over the years in the Exarhia neighborhood. The vendetta might have lead up to the shooting, but it is irrelevant to the event. A trianed police officer cannot be excused for losing his cool.

The rest of the stuff about foreigners participating in the riots is also inaccurate. A LOT of the looting is done by foreigners who happen to live or loiter around the stricken area. The rioting which leads to the looting is done by Greeks.

As for the similarity between the events and the 1968 events in Paris, that is total nonsense. There are no specific political demands over which the Greek youth are rebelling as there were in France. As one Communist party MP stated, there are no specific grievances, no demands, no collective ideals or political motivation behind the riots. It is simply a mass expression of a phenomenon which is frequently seen in Athens, and specifically in the area where the victim was shot. It so happens that this time instead of a few dozen the participants are a few hundred.

The Observer reported the unrest by asylum seekers just before the shooting happened/was known. I think most reports are saying what you are saying that there are a lot of opportunist illegal immigrants/asylum seekers looting, whilst the Greek youth is protesting directly about authority/government.

The French riots to which the article was drawing parallels were those of October 2005 and not 1968.

(Fortunately there have been no deaths so far, apart from the young unfortunate boy.)

It's almost like there's a Greek nostalgia for a return to a military regime so that they can all huddle up in the Polytechnic and become resistance heroes!

I think you'll find you are on the wrong track if you think it's more militarisation they are asking for. But then you are doing a good impersonation of Zan-logic.

The protests are against over-militarisation by authority/police/government, so how can you conclude they want a military regime

What do the asylum seekers have to do with over militarisation...Who was involved again.....I think you keep changing your mind as to who is/was fighting/protesting is not much of a help here...Seems you are back tracking and stepping in your own footsteps filled with shit...

It is very strange !!!!!!!!! why people are doing demonstration in South Cyprus ...... what for they are fighting with police or making demonstrations . Why the demonstrators in Limassol were wearing mask ?
students from Larnaka , Paphos , limassol were demonstrating and throwing stones to police .

what's happening in Greece must be internal problem of the that country ....what is the point throwing stones to police ? Can't they do their protests just by talks or putting some posters fron of the Greek embassy in Nicosia .

Makes a mockery of the statements made on this Forum and by Greece and Turkey that Greece has nothing to do with the "RoC".....1974 all over again and if it wasn't for the fact that we are separate we might have been in the firing line again....Instead of taking it out on the police they might have attacked us... At least those that are in power would have used it to!!!!
