Its actually an AP story.
Police made at least nine arrests, including six people suspected of looting a shop. Seven officers were injured along with two demonstrators.

The uniforms of several riot police officers were set ablaze by firebombs. One of the policemen hopped over a metal railing as other officers stood over him extinguishing the flames. A state television van was set on fire and badly damaged.
Responding to calls from the country’s two main labor unions, several thousand people marched in major Greek cities Saturday against the anticipated spending cuts and consumer tax hikes.
In Athens, groups of black-clad anarchists in hoods and motorcycle helmets smashed three shop and hotel windows and set up barricades of burning trash bins. Around 17,000 people took part in the march, according to police estimates.

Time to lock and load. The minute a flame is spotted among the rioters, let loose on them.

Replace Athens with Phoenix (or Los Angeles, or, or...), and labor unions with, well, labor unions, or illegals, or liberals, and it's pretty much what we'll be seeing here.
So much for that hopey-changey shit we were promised.

Not in my neighborhood. I live on a dead end street and you have to pass a gauntlet of Good-Old-Boys before you get to my house. :-)
Did I mention the video surveillance system I put in a couple weeks ago? :rotf:

They must have been teabaggers. :whatever:

They could fix that relatively easily by making crimes of violence a basis to forfeit the extremely-generous-and-starting-at-age-50 retirement entitlement.

Damn. The Greek police are far more restrained than we would be. I saw protesters beating on them with sticks. In Texas, those would be considered 'deadly weapons'. The police would respond accordingly.
