I'm probably getting tiring and boring....

...and I'm sorry...
but right now, Athens is burning up

They have set the christmas tree on fire, the whole center of the city is on fire, banks and stores are on fire, whole buildings are on fire, and just when we thought things can't get any worse, they set the ministry of internal affairs on fire
There were no police or fire department vehicles on the spot

If the government can't protect their buildings, how will they protect the citizens??

We've lost control again



EDIT: There's people trapped in the Greek Telephone Company building, where there's looting and destroying. The people fear for their lives, they called the police and the TV channels, they're begging for help. Meanwhile, fire and violence has erupted in Kolonaki too, that's right in the center of the city, the most posh part of central Athens. The Polytechnic school in Athens is under siege.In Thessaloniki the center is burning up (and drowning, cause the fire dept. has filled the streets with water, trying to stop the fires), and we just watched a store being looted live on TV. Street fights, street fires, people running and screaming... at least I found Antigone, she was not out on the streets, thank god...

EDIT2: The people from the Telecom Company are now free, the police got in and got them out

EDIT3: Aristotelous Square in Thessaloniki, the absolute center of Thessaloniki, is on fire...
