These riots all occured in and area roughly the size of a football field. The CNBC reporter has move to a different rooftop but it is suspiciously close to one of the best pastry shops in athens. AND not too far from Starbucks...

EU are a bunch of fools if they think this will stand.
The Greek people are going to boot this government from office at their first opportunity. Repudiate the Debt will be the one and only issue. This deal will be dead faster than you can say Stephanopoulos.
