Greek protests have turned violent as protesters set fire to a bank in Greece earlier today killing three people. The protesters set fire to the bank on account of a general strike planned over the austerity measures. The mayor of Athens called the act a "murderous act" which will have repercussions. They are also over the tax rises even though there is a planned 110 billion Euro bailout for the Greek economy. Only time and actions will decide the outcome of this crisis. If not dealt with carefully, this could explode into a more dangerous and dire situation.
