I was afraid something like this would happen. Protester hoodlums set some fires, and in one fire at a bank, three people died. In a sad irony, the protestors had been calling the police and government murderers.

Three die in fire set by Greek protesters - The Globe and Mail

Three people died in a central Athens bank that was set ablaze by Greek protesters on Wednesday during a march against government austerity measures, aimed at saving the country from bankruptcy.

Masked youths threw hurled paving stones and Molotov cocktails at police, who responded with heavy use of tear gas. Protestors shouted “Murderers” and “Burn the parliament," as the public anger overflowed at the government’s plans for painful wage and pension cutbacks.

Dirty little socialist insects.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.
