Riots in Greece after ‘neo-Nazi’ hip-hop killing
Protests broke out in Athens, Greece on Sept. 18 after Pavlos Fyssas, a 34-year-old left-wing hip-hop performer, was stabbed to death. Police said an alleged member of the Golden Dawn neo-Nazi group arrested at the scene of the killing confessed to stabbing Fyssas. Police fired tear gas at a small group of anti-fascism protesters who pelted them with wooden sticks and stones.

The war in Greece between the fascists and anarchists this will lead to a damed civil war if it has not already started. Those who simplify blame their situation on others is wrong in the sense they fail to take responsibility in the actions that have occurred in the world we are connected with. As well the people who believe in a power should have no controlling body are also foolish in their own right to try to live without direction is short minded and they will fail.
