Riots in Greece, after Officer shoots teen dead

Athens and other cities were hit by the overnight violence after a member of an elite police corps shot dead a teen in the Greek capital, triggering angry protests.

The officer who fired the fatal shot has been charged with murder with malicious intent and suspended from duty, police said, adding that an autopsy on the youth is scheduled for Monday, in an effort to discern the circumstances of the shooting.

Demonstrators barricaded city streets Sunday in Athens and Thessaloniki and hurled petrol bombs as they battled with police, who fought back with tear gas in the second day of rioting.CNN

I'll tell ya, if someone shoots somebody in my neighborhood I'm going to up and start some fires and break other people's stuff who had nothing to do with the shooting. That will show them!duxup

I love strategically placed sarcasm. ;) :)
