A bailout gone wrong? "Rioting over harsh austerity measures left three people dead in a torched Athens bank and clouds of tear gas drifting past parliament, in an outburst of anger that underlined the long and difficult struggle Greece faces to stick with painful cutbacks that come with an international bailout. The deaths were the first during a protest in Greece in nearly 20 years. Fear that the bailout won't stop the debt crisis from spreading to other financially troubled EU countries like Portugal and Spain intensified amid the violence Wednesday, as credit ratings agency Moody's put Portugal on watch for a possible downgrade." http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100505/D9FGTD900.html

Greece, Spain and Portugaul depict our future if we allow this debt to continue. A smaller government is an essential step to our freedom and security on countless levels.

That takes folks straight to the video without visiting a blog.

I don't understand why rioters holding Molotov Cocktails are not met with deadly force. If they were firing guns at the police they would be.

Wait until the free cheese eaters in this country figure out that Obama can’t feed them anymore.

Because typically European Police are extremely well disciplined and trained and understand that just because you can doesn't mean that you should.

Unlike their American counterparts who treat every single situation they encounter as a deadly force encounter. Will shoot or taze you at the drop of a hat for simply refusing to comply with an "order" to take your hands out of your pockets. Or for committing a misdemeanor crime...

I further think that deep down inside those police officers in Greece truly don't want to hurt those protesting, even those hurling Molotov Cocktails and they would much rather deal with them physically and just arrest them.

Where as here in America you get tazed or shot for nothing more that just running around a baseball field in Philadelphia acting like a teenager.

What exactly are they protesting??? If they don’t like the terms, then don’t take the money. Default on your debt and see what happens. Remember you always get one bite at the apple when it comes to default. Just run your government going forward on a cash basis.

They will be here, when the freeloaders get cut off. And they will, and this will be the result.

If the police don't rise up with deadly force in the US, We, the People will do so.

I hope I'm wrong, but this poster just MIGHT be all about trolling for blog hits.

I'd sure hate to see FR become a business platform for blog pimps.

I think that's pretty scummy.
