I don't know why they're bothering to clean up...there's just going to be another riot later this week.

So the Greeks really feel they've hit rock bottom? To me it looks like it's just another layer if they keep burning one of the few good things going for them, which is tourism.

I guess when you get cut off from welfare and are too lazy to work you're next likely action is to loot

Riots are cool....
Why aren't there more riots here in the US?
And I mean riots that aren't racial. Race riots are scary and unfair because only minorities can take part. I just want a good old fashioned riot-riot that we ALL can enjoy in harmony and equality.
I just want a riot, in general. Is that so much to ask?
Lucky Greeks....

I assume you're not being completely serious but a good riot would be fun. Barracade my neighborhood against another neighborhood and turn it into a fortified position. Deck out the cars with spikes and mount guns on them. It could be like the suburban version of mad max

you know, this might be a LITTLE HARSH, but ....
if instead of tear-gas, rubber bullets and water canons ...
if they used REAL bullets.
killing 80,000 violent protesters would have solved a TON of problems.
1) lowered unemployment
2) created a ton of jobs in the body removal/burial field
3) a lot of new work for the lawyers representing the dead
4) a lot of open jobs in the police and government when the people who were responsible were sacked

Sounds like you're a bit young to remember the LA Riots in the 90s from the Rodney King decision. Sure, on the surface it seemed racially oriented, but it pretty quickly turned into a looter free for all. I don't remember a whole lot of people leaning back and thinking "good times, good times." I guess we got that one Sublime song out of it though.

Remember the North-East blackout a while ago? Perfect opportunity to loot and riot just like the blackouts in the 70's. But what did people do instead? Everyone helped each other, walked home, and looked at the stars.
This isn't the America I grew up in.

I remember reading how the korean shop owners quickly formed militias and we're getting in gun battles with the rioters. Barricaded in their shops firing AKs.....crazy stuff

Why are they burning shops and stuff? IF you're going to burn who's responsible, target government buildings and the bankers. Use Google, find out where they live, and go burn their houses down.

Or cops burning down houses with 78 innocent people inside to get the one guy they want, or FBI punks shooting qwomen holding babies in their arms, or punk cops stealing money from common citizens by falsely accusing them of selling drugs, or scumbags deliberately running the country into the ground for the sake of their own power, or Attorneys general selling guns to drug gangs,

What your talking about is basic abuse of power. Happens all the time. People being oppressed, and all that. And it's boring as hell. What I'm looking for is complete anarchy! Not the abuse of the law, but the complete lack of it. Gangs, burning and raping and will, neighbors banding together at first for protection, but then attacking other neighbor hoods for resources. You haven't lived until you've burned a house down that's still full of people. Or raped a girl in front of her family, and then disfigured her horribly. Of course that's after you've murdered every male member of her family. Now that's FUN!
/Take the food and anything else you want, kill the family, but not the girl, bring her with us... She'll give us some sport. Before you leave burn everything, leave nothing.

Or, they could start by burning down their own houses for believing that they could retire at 50, cheat on their taxes, and have the government provide everything for them they were too lazy to earn for themselves. An unproductive populace with an overwhelming sense of entitlement, enabled by a greedy politicians and greedier bankers created this perfect storm. And the Germans have had enough of subsidizing their lazy cousins. Coming soon to an America near you (with Chinese uncle goodness).

I think Joe Strummer had something to say about that-
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
Black people gotta lot a problems
But they don't mind throwing a brick
White people go to school
Where they teach you how to be thick
An' everybody's doing
Just what they're told to
An' nobody wants
To go to jail!
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
All the power's in the hands
Of people rich enough to buy it
While we walk the street
Too chicken to even try it
Everybody's doing
Just what they're told to
Nobody wants
To go to jail!
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
Are you taking over
or are you taking orders?
Are you going backwards
Or are you going forwards?
But I think Jello Biafra hit it on the nose-
Tomorrow you're homeless
Tonight it's a blast
