Greece Rocked by Riots as Up to 60,000 Protest Against Government


Street clashes broke out between rioting youths and police in central Athens today as tens of thousands demonstrated during a nationwide strike against the cash-strapped government.
Hundreds of masked and hooded youths punched and kicked motorcycle police, knocking several off their bikes, as police responded with volleys of tear gas and stun grenades.
The violence spread after the end of the march to a nearby square, where police faced off with stone-throwing anarchists and suffocating clouds of tear gas sent patrons scurrying from open-air cafes.
Police say 16 suspected rioters were detained and two officers were injured.

  2. I just can't picture neutered, pecked-down, feminized American men doing anything like this at all.

    Explains all too well WHY men in the USA have been turned into weakling indecisive morons. Fems don't fight back.

  5. Greece has a population of over 11,000,000 people and to have only 60,000 people protesting is absolutely nothing. It just shows that the majority of people support austerity measures and they will indeed succeed in cutting down debt.

    Yep, you're right, we got a bunch of soft girly men here in the US. Ripe for the fleecing and that's why the Bankers are skinning them blind.

    Girly men don't fight back. They just lie down and take it up the keester like good little pink ladies..

    American men have turned into sweet ole passive girly men...

    It's embarrassing...

  9. This MAY get a couple dozen to get upset; unlikely they will actually riot or put down the beer and remote though ....

    "States may hold tax refunds

    The recession has tied up cash and caused officials in six states to consider freezing refunds, in one case for as long as five months." - US Today!! Mainstream even!! But will the sheep raise their heads and Bahhh? That is the question.

  10. 95% of the men here of the 2% of the populace with a some balls that will protest will be SINGLE men. MARRIED men will need to get permission to burp or go pee.

  11. AS a married man I had to ask permission to pee...And was only allowed sitting down...

  12. I guess you have to be politically clueless NOT to know about any of the protests that have taken place in the US in recent years. But that said, the US press scarcely ever covers any of it in the mainstream news, relegating it to only so much background noise admist the largely apathetic population of consumers of bought and sold that we are.

  13. Parts of Europe are standing up. America is still watching American Idol. LOL at the changes in the U.S. The U.S. of old had men with real fighting spirit and freedom at heart. Today's Americans could only dream of being half the men they were.

  14. What's happened with Americans is a real Greek Tragedy.

    I suppose the only thing left for American men to do is wear pink stockings and pink lipstick...

    Oh wait some men in the media and hollywood types already do... HA!

  15. Our men do fight !! We fight for our right to marry other men . We fight for our right to publish and view pornography , we fight to have the 10 commandments removed from public display , we fight for the money when we sue each other because most of the time we won't assume responsibility for our own stupidity ie slipping ,smoking and various other easy money grabbing opportunities.
    Yes this new generation of man would make our forefathers proud .

  16. That's funny, I haven't seen any Americans protesting with their guns with them...

    The Guns are nicely tucked at home in their locks like good little pink citizens.. WHO OBEY THEIR TYRANNICAL LEADERS!!

  17. I think in time we may see it here. When people suffer enough. It's kind of like going into cold water some jump right in some do not. Our culture is the kind that dip their toes in first. But when it does state it will be nastier than Greeces. Because Americans go crazy when they get real angry. I would not rule this out. I think this summer may bring something terrible. This is spiraling down very quickly as the gov stalls.. People when pressed react it's what people do. When it starts it will spread like wildfire. That's my opinion.

  18. I blame Nancy Pelosi she has castrated A merican men.A recent survey revealed 85 percent of US males wear womens clothes in the privacy of there own homes,very sad.

  20. All these comments about girly men are silly. You're blaming "femininity" as usual, as women are always somehow guilty of causing everything that ever happens. Since Eve supposedly ate the apple eh? Right, I guess that makes Eve more active than Adam since she actually took the initiative to eat the forbidden fruit.

    Anyhow, instead of blaming mens' passivity on women or "femininity" why not just blame yourselves for your own actions? Stop blaming women and femininity. Without womens' influence this entire world would already be blown to bits due to man's irrational aggressiveness.

  21. Dumb idiot men looking to femininity and women as another scapegoat. Instead of putting the blame on THEMSELVES, where it so rightly belongs! How DARE you now start to blame women for your own inactions? Who are the people running the world anyway and causing all the grief in this world? They are men. So, stand up men and stop blaming women for your own inadequacies.

  22. To the uptight woman that wrote the comments at 6:58 @7:01, I read the comments and did not see anybody blaming women, I see them blaming
    men for turning into women. Quite frankly I believe this revolution should be fought by the women, you wanted to be viewed as strong as men and since that is physically impossible, as a country, we had to emotionally weaken men. Now that you wear the pants get out there and fight instead of standing there wondering what the fly is for.

  23. Exactly. Talk about twisting the subject.

    Our owners have craftfully neutered the males over time. Watch the Century of Self videos if you don't think top psychologists have been working hand in hand with the US Government to control the populace for decades.

    Ever notice that in every TV commercial the man is a bubbling idiot who was just lucky enough to be with the hot, intellectual female?

    As in EVERY commercial, every sitcom, etc. The male sheeple see that 100,000 times and start thinking that is normal.

  30. Wow this is comical.
    The comments section has devolved into some kind of man bashing feminist hate fest.

    There aren't many mentalities out there that like to stoop low at every turn, that always take the lowest road possible, but I do know one group of Mediterranean types that thinks it's highly intelligent that does, and I ain't talking about
    Greeks.

    Wink wink.

  31. The US ARMY had to send home a million male recruits due to problems with the uniforms.
    After recently changing suppliers the army discovered premature running in the panty hose.
    An outraged Commander in Chief took immediate action and has directed Captain Highliner to fix the problem.

  34. From the comments I see here by angry American men who want to blame "femininity" for all their problems, it is again something like what men have done to women all throughout history.

    Stand up on your own and stop blaming everyone except yourselves. Women did not "turn" you into anything, you did it to yourself!

  35. Glad I don't live in the USA anymore. The place reeks of stupidity and misogyny. You'll all get what you deserve.

    ReplyDelete
  36. 9:13, the comments are all misogynistic, NOT "man bashing." Somehow, your fellow men here think that anything that is considered "feminine," like caring and nurturing qualities, is "bad" and somehow "taints" men and "turns" them into women.

    This is clearly misogynistic. If you think being feminine means being "weak," then tell me how being "macho" and shooting and killing everything in your wake is better. If anything, cruelty is weakness.

  37. Foreigners, please don't take this as representative of the average american. Even the average dumb, asleep american does not descend to this level of stupidity. The internet attracts odd creatures from dark places. The type(s) writing these comments just happen to have a severe deficiency of common sense. Their understanding of human relations is holding a gun in a field and shooting at a target or watching things blow up on TV. Not exactly what ranks as high cognition.

  45. America used to be a Patriarchy now there is a different gender aristocracy based on property interests and leisure time pornography driven role playing games. Complete with whining males.

    This system is so good an so much fun that the gender aristocracy and the rich sends off the p.ssey whipped males and Americas butch women military to Iraq and Afghanistan to impose this superior lifestyle system of American freedom in leisure time activities on the third world people everywhere .
    Those who resist are clearly women haters , anti-American or puritanical religious nutters.
    We seen how this system works in Abu Graib with women leading around men on dog leashes to the approval of the Cheney’s the Bushes ,the Clintons and their womenfolk and all the cheer squads back home . Gaza was fun too.
    . Obama still plays these sexual anti-terrorist games in Guantanamo bay and Bagram prisons .
    Every country needs its exports and the Americans export this American way of life even at the expense of trillions of dollars for wars and their own bankruptcy . That’s real freedom fighting .
    It’s the only patriotic thing to do for the
    heroic men of America. Besides the alimony must be paid and less and less other jobs are available .
