bktheirregularBeen short on posting and such; work's been fairly busy, and family's been over visiting family.
I guess the news has been on the story: the protests started Friday, with running skirmishes between hooligans and cops, then got worse on Saturday, and quite a bit worse on Sunday. Thankfully, my apartment is outside the main protest zone, and anyone attacking my block would have to deal with a bunch of cheesed-off Canadians, anyway, so home was left basically unmolested.
Work was another story. I didn't even get near downtown this past weekend, but coming in on Monday, there were a lot of places where stonework had been smashed off the walls, windows broken - the vandalism was heavily concentrated on the banks, with windows and ATMs smashed (and presumably looted). Monday morning and there's still tear gas residue in the air.
I suspect it may be a little while before there's another major protest; that seems to be the pattern after a protest gets out of hand badly enough to leave major damage.
Haven't seen Syntagma Square yet today; I imagine it's going to be a complete shambles.
