Rioting in Greece
I was reading some articles on CNN and came across this one in regarding the riots that have erupted in Greece. Full article can be see here.
In brief, a teen was shot after trying to throw a fuel-filled bomb towards police officers. It incident started after about six of them pelted stones towards a police cruiser.
It is regrettable that life was lost in this incident, but I would think the police officer involved was completely justified in his reaction as a fuel-filled bomb could have cause more harm to the officers involved in the incident than just one life.
But what appears to be even more surprising are the riots that have occurred as a result of this incident. To those that are rioting, you are not representing your younger population in a good light. Get your head out of your asses and act like adults.

If this is the case, then the death is regrettable. And I should have done more research instead of just using CNN as a source of information. My bad….
However, it doesn’t change my opinion about the follow up riots. Those were unjustified and unnecessary.
