Greek Violent Protests - Greece

Guardian Live - Euro: Reports in its 1.13pm post that Greek Police have used teargas to break up Greek protests. 

Lets Get Real: 

This blog supports peaceful protests against any Government policy, but once a protest turn violent the Police should read the Riot Act and go in hard, a Democracy can only work if those that use their rights behave, a Democratic State can not be threatened by the mob, it seems from reports that Greece has been bought to a HALT.   The Greek people had a choice in their recent election, between accepting the austerity package as demanded by the EU or getting out of the Euro, they chose the political parties that support Greece being in the Euro, thus those that try to overthrow the democratic will of the people through violent have to be taken in by the Police and give a tough stint in jail.    The Germans will not keep bailing out Greece if Greece decides it does not like the strong medicine, why should the German tax payer pay for the out of control welfare of Greece.    It is time for the Greeks to look at Classic Greece, the givers of Democracy and understand that with a vote comes results, those results can not be over turned by violence and the break down of law and order.    Police be tough but fair, Greece is under threat.
