I've been making myself a little crazy this week by watching the riot and protest footage from Athens. Here's another, in case you're interested. The coverage is finally starting to get beyond the police shooting, which is good.
I remember a conversation with my cousins about problems that she was having with renters (who weren't paying for months). Antigone explained that they can't kick them out because the police and local government won't do back them up because as a family, they don't have clout. With the economic downturn and the shooting to spark it all off, the riots and protests are not a surprise. I just wish that something would actually be done besides the opposition party forcing the conservatives out.
