Greece: Week Two

A second week of riots has ensued in Greece after the shooting of the 15 year old boy. Thousands of young protesters have done considerable damage financially in multiple cities, and the government is now saying that they cannot contain the situation. The police of Greece are continually repelling the fuel bombs and other devices thrown at them with tear gas. The main cause of this uproar is starting to surface, as more and more of the protesters are starting to speak out more against the government than the shooting with the police. Elections are being held Monday and the officer who shot the boy is charged with murder pending a trial.
