The article you linked reveals another potentially serious problem for Greece.

The headline says that 28 laborers were shot, but the body of the article reports that only four were seriously hurt - apparently none killed.

That indicates a potentially serious deficiency in marksmanship training.

But seriously, the Guardian may be be engaged in slanted reporting, to advance their leftist worldview, as they usually do.

I would not be surprised if it had actually been a violent mob of Bangladeshis, demanding a change to previously agreed payment terms, storming a few people who happened to be armed. It seems like there might be more to the story than just this spin.

Yeah, maybe. I cannot say that my personal observation was representative but it convinced me that trusting the rule of law in Greece is an iffy proposition.

I think the important question is so what, then?

Greece can’t pay up and defaults, due to internal problems.

Lots of European investors go down.

Ripples of financial instability spread towards the USA from Europe.

Presuming Obama has not pre-destabilized the USA economy, the Fed goes into QE-infinity++ to compensate for the downfall of the Euro and effects on stock markets.

What have I missed? Germany invades Greece? (again?)
