**Chanting Allahu Akbar, they wreak destruction in Athens**

Kinda funny .. in all the radio news reports..ALL DAY, I never heard the chanting part.

Just like my friend, robbed at Gunpoint. Newspaper article took 8 paragraphs to note the fact that the perps were “not white” ...

We’re SO SCREWED!!

Cops don’t seem to be doing much. They should be shooting the people throwing the Molotov cocktails. Fire fighters can’t even do their job.

So the several articles prior to this one just happened to forget to mention the mayhem, arson and assault are perpetrated by the Youths who just happen to chant:

“Allah Akhbar!”

What a coinkiedink!

Those videos you posted have nothing to do with the rioting that is going on right now. The rioters in the last few days are not muslim immigrants, they are homegrown GREEK anti-capitalist leftists in other words Communists, anarchists and hooligans, see soccer hooligans around the world, mostly youths and students are involved behind the riots. SOME muslims and other immigrants are coming out AFTER the idiot rioters leave destruction in their wake and they are stealing whatever they can from stores that the anarchists and hooligans broke store windows but for the most part even the muslims and immigrants are smart enough to stay away and out of the anarchists violent ways. This is nothing like 'French race riots' and like I said it has nothing to do with muslims or immigrants in Greece. The kid who was killed was Greek, he wasn't a muslim, he wasn't an immigrant and his father had a nice bank job. The rioting right now is not as serious as it is made out in the news reports, Monday night was another matter, now only a few hundred idiot teenagers are mostly out going along for fun nothing more. Once the armed riot police turned up they scrammed like mice.

Unfortunately this kind of rioting is common among HOME GROWN European origins youths who call themselves 'anarchists' but I doubt most know what the heck that term stands for other then destruction. Its nice to blame everything on the muslims but this is not the case here.

Anarchist movement in Greece traces its origins to the brutal military junta in the 1960s & 1970s. It ruled the country from 1967 to 1974 and it still is a sore spot with most Greek today.
Greek Military Junta of 1967-1974

In 1973 a student protest against the junta at Athens Polytechnic university resulted in the military sending tanks into the school which resulted in the deaths of over 40 civilians, mostly students, but this event was just the climax to over six years of brutal military rule in the country. Since the country has this violent past the Greek population is very sensitivity to state violence against civilians, which is why the authorities hesitant to use overwhelming force against them. To this day Greek police and military are not permitted to enter college campuses since 1973, when tanks quashed the student uprising at Athens Polytechnic. The movie "Z" is actually based upon Greek military rule of this time period.
Z Film

Its the events that took place in 1973 with killing of over 40 students by the military where what we are seeing today in Greece stems from, not muslims and not immigrants, THAT is from where Greece's reluctance to take strong action against student protests and demostrations stems from. Since then schools have always been springboards for such riots and the current wave of violence is no different and it also explains why many of the riots are in university towns. Students and pupils have effectively been given carte blanche to carry on such protesting, because their idiot professors have declared a three-day strike.

In 1985 another police shooting and the death of a teenager, Michalis Kaltezas, resulted in WEEKS of rioting by angry anarchist youths and months of daily clashes between students and police, those riots were MUCH worse then the ones we are seeing today. Granted these are the worst since then but rioting by anarchist Greek youths and the police is very common in Greece...has been common since the 1970s...so like I said even though its 'nice' to blame everything on the muslims, this time they have nothing to do with the rioting.

Clashes between the police, anarchists and other radical youth groups in Greece are common, but they have never attraced such international attention. There is a longstanding, delicate co-existence between the police and groups of far-left & far-right youths/adults tolerate certain crime in where many believe the authorities know who these individuals who organize such events are but won't go after them because their 'leaders' are the children of the elite in Greece, i.e. bored rich kids with nothing to do, but this type of anarchism isn't a Greek thing only. Such violent anarchists who clash with the police because they don't believe in 'authority' are very common through out Europe and the world.
Organized Anarchy Europe Intergovernmental Organizations

Exarchia the area where the shooting took place is a hanging ground for anarchists along with other groups so the cops didn't just pick to be in that location randomly out of blue and it is also the area where the 1973 violent student protest against the Greek junta at Athens Polytechnic university was crushed by the military over thirty years ago.
