Riots Break Out In Front Of The Greek Parliament



Daily Mail: Is Greece about to burn its bridges with the Eurozone? Protestors hurl petrol bombs at riot police on the streets of Athens ahead of final deadline for bailout deal

* Violent protestors have hurled petrol bombs at riot police after surrounding the Greek parliament this evening
* Police responded with tear gas against anti-austerity protestors who set ablaze parts of Syntagma square in Athens
* Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras agreed to harsh austerity terms as part of an €86 billion bailout from Eurozone leaders
* Greece's parliament looks likely to adopt reforms ahead of midnight deadline, in large part thanks to pro-European opposition parties

Violent protestors have hurled petrol bombs at riot police after surrounding the Greek parliament ahead of a final deadline for the country's €86 billion bailout deal.

Police responded with tear gas against dozens of hooded anti-austerity protestors who set ablaze parts of Syntagma square in central Athens as they targeted the officers.

The violence erupted on the sidelines of a demonstration gathering 12,500 people in front of the parliament building opposed to the passage of the reforms.

They might regret using that gas that way when they are sitting in line to put some in their empty cars. Here you are seeing the first manifestations of the type of trouble that will sweep Europe and eventually the western world and will make the current troubles in the Ukraine seem paltry.

In the US debtor's prisons have been outlawed and and that for all intents and purposes has held true. Now we are seeing in Greece's case an entire country becoming a debtors' prison. WNU's predictions for the future of Greece's population will come true with something else added on. WNU you said the young, the brightest, and the able would leave and I agree, but under the cover of the "immigration emergency" watch for laws and controls of where, with what, and when these people can leave. Watch for it.
