#17 15.34 ATHENS: Parliament demo ends, retreats to occupied universities

15.34 The demo has ended and we have retreated in the three occupied universities, waiting for the pigs.  Outside the law school a jeep is burning.  They should be here soon.

15.46 The riot cops approach the law school.  They are pelted with stones and molotovs, and retreat.  One jeep and one riot cop on fire.

  3. Amazing… such hope in this world of injustice. I ask myself why people in the US do not rise up… you are making history! Greece stand up! News outlets say that the radical left is using this as an excuse to protest… I think we on the radical left know what the police defend in a capitalist society. It is all interconnected… in greece, in spirit

    Επίθεση στο γραφείο του Αλ.Κούγια

    Εν τω μεταξύ, το απόγευμα άγνωστοι προξένησαν ζημιές στο δικηγορικό γραφείο του Αλέξη Κούγια στο κέντρο της Αθήνας. Κατέστρεψαν υπολογιστές και αρχεία του γραφείου.

    Η επίθεση σημειώθηκε λίγο μετά τις 5 το απόγευμα, με αποτέλεσμα να υπάρξουν ζημιές.

    Οι νεαροί έσπασαν τη τζαμαρία του κτηρίου και δύο άτομα ανέβηκαν στον 8ο όροφο, όπου βρίσκεται το γραφείο του δικηγόρου, έβγαλαν έξω τρεις υπαλλήλους, και με λοστούς έσπασαν ότι βρήκαν μπροστά τους. Στη συνέχεια αποχώρησαν.

    Rough translation:
    The youths smashed the building’s front windows and two people went to the eighth floor where the lawyer’s office is. They forced 3 people to leave and they smashed everything (mainly PCs and archives/files).

    Personal comment:

    For those not living in Greece, this lawyer is quite a character. He thinks himself as a very macho type, although he looks (and is) a slug. Last year his wive chased him out of their house and hit him with here high heels. A new joke thats been very popular is that he intends to sue everybody in the phone book.

    Uprising in America is coming soon, just wait.
    Don’t expect it to be on the American news, either, The news stations are a bunch of literalistic morons getting paid for finding stories, that is most of the time.
