Athens hit by new protest rallies

Athens hit by new protest rallies 
Stop through the Break for news forum to see the video...
And we also invite you to share your feelings with us too, leave a comment about it, 
share your feeling with us at the 100th monkey project.

One writer put it this way, "The media, greek as 
well as international, reflecting i think the general 
feeling of "orderly" people worldwide, 
are under a state of shock. 

Especially the greek media change their "line" daily, 
sometimes even within a few minutes, 
trying to come up with a familiar, reassuring 
discourse, that would provide a feeling of 
safety in the face of events that 
they cannot understand and scare them 
to death. They try to fit what's 
happening in schemes they know 
(or think they know) and feel that they 
can control. But still, the "society of the orderly" 
was shocked last Monday 
when they saw thousands of organized 
pupils attacking police stations all 
over Greece. Where can one 
catalogue these images?"


Hundreds of people are staging fresh protest rallies in Athens, after 
days of rioting sparked by the killing of a teenager by police in Greece

Sixty per cent of those questioned by Greece's Kathimerini newspaper 
rejected the assertion that the disturbances have been merely a series of 
co-ordinated attacks by a small hard core of anarchists. 

Another poll, in the Ethnos newspaper, suggested that 83% of Greeks 
were unhappy with the government's response to the violence. 
Kathimerini put the disapproval rating at 68%.
