    I never knew Greece had a social disorder problem on this scale on and off for years.

    Time to cancel that Athens holiday now or go over and join the fun? :D

    In Ireland, a few have died at the hands of the gardai in suspicious circumstances, would the likes of those riots happen here? ;)

    ...aye, if we can get the bone idle and lazy useless gits up from their bar stools and couch potato positions.

    ...maybe ...if the price of drink went up again! :rolleyes:

    Would it not be better for the people who organise riots to organise people bringing riot shields with them? It only ever seems to be the cops with the riot shields.

    Yep, thats the way to show all those shop keepers that have Gards in their pockets and get them to shoot people for their own amusement , burn and loot their shops. This secret league of shop keepers overloads needs taking down a peg or two.

    What sort of retards are these people?

    I like the way they're talking about anarchists organising more riots.

    What's so funny about anarchists organising things? Anarchists (btw I'm not one) are not about chaos, they are about being leaderless, and thus making decisions with complete participation of the group.

    No harm. I drove a Ford a few years ago and it was the greatest heap of shyte ever. If I'd had the wits about me, I'd have set fire to the thing myself and put it out of its misery (not to mention mine). If someone gave me a brand new Ford in the morning, I'd set it on fire. :mad:

    Easy, if you're a revolutionary and want to get one over the authorities,

    First find an issue that has people enraged, then just wind up an already pissed off group of youngsters, lead them off on a "peaceful" demo - then wind them up a bit more and point them at the police.

    Afterwards go home and watch it on the box!

    Wouldn't you be leadership in that example though and therefore they would resent YOU (non specific you in this case :D ) too?

    Yes they could! that's why you disappear after "lighting the touchpaper", if there is sufficient anger, almost anybody could start the riot!

    "rent a mob" are not always needed!
