  14. Where are footballhooligans when you need them
  15. its fine line but cops have to do their job, its just bad when they use excessive force.
  16. Lmao, mine, I cannot do that. I have a feeling that the police here are going to start siding w/the masses. They are regular people like you and I, and I know a few of them who agree wholeheartedly with us. The Spanish police should wake up and smell the coffee too. If everyone took to the streets nothing could stop us.

  19. they will soon bring grecian fire upon the gov troops
  20. the police will be beaten and stomped to death as soon as the people say "enough is enough" ....and they say it soon..........is greece ?.. the people of greece or a certain current gov entity...? being beaten and stomped to death by many of my fellow countrymen is not my idea of dying peacefully or honorable
