Greece-An Example of How Fast Things Can Devolve

Two Athens Police Officers, Epaminondas Korkoneas and Vassilious Saraliotis have been criminally charged in the killing of a 15 year old boy named, Andreas Grigoropoules. Officer Korkoneas fatally shot Grigoroloules after he claimed the boy and a group of about thirty youths were throwing firebombs and other objects at the Officers and shouting that they "were going to kill them."

Since the death of the kid, Greece has been besieged with violent unrest. While purporting that the cause of this protest was the death of Grigoropoules various other groups have infiltrated the protests to further their own cause. The labor unions, socialists and anarchists have all used the boy's death as an excuse to further their aims.

The labor unions have brought the country to a standstill and the socialists have called for the conservative government to resign. Meanwhile, the anarchists have been stockpiling Molotov Cocktails and rocks to hurl at the Police.

An important thought to note is that the majority of this unrest is being carried out by students who fall into the age category of 15 -24 years old.

As the economy continues to deteriorate in America and jobs disappear you must understand that this age group will be the source of alot of trouble here. Traditionally, areas that have a large youth population and unusually high unemployment often see in increase in the crime rates along with more protests and looting.

Unless there is a dramatic turnaround in the U.S. expect to see Greece-Like conditions spread like wildfire across Main Street, U.S.A.
