On a Saturday night, 6 of December (2 weeks before Christmas!) @ about 22:00 am, in Athens, Greece, a 15 years old student (could be YOUR child!)
was murdered in cold blood by a police officer and his partner
(belonging to a "special" police force, they're not exactly policemen,
they haven't even went to the police academy, called - in totally free
translation - Special Guards!) His crime? He "made the mistake" to go
drink a coffee with some closed friends of him @ Eksarhia square, a
place well known in Athens for it's coffee shops, bars and clubs. It's
also a place where, from the early 80s, anarchists used to hang around
there, something they continue to do...
R.I.P. Alex and (wherever you may be now...) be sure that we won't forget you and that we'll TAKE REVENGE FOR YOU.
We feel that, if we don't do something now, if we don't show them that
we disagree with the political system and the "fake" democracy they try
to built with your vote, then Alex died for nothing...
There
are bad cops and there are good cops, this happens in all places and
all jobs. Difference is, that police has NOT got the right to have
"bad" guys working there. We pay them to protect us, but, as someone
once said, who will protect us from them? "Typical" you may say...
well, go tell that to Alex's parents.... Some others say that we take
actions or do things that are not (or "seem" not to be) right, probably
they do have a point on that, but at least we do something, instead of
sitting @ our couches and watch what's happening on the TV (BTW, close
that fucking thing, it destroys your mind - or what's left of it! Go
and listen to some music, or maybe read a book!)... Of course we're
against all kinds of blind violence and we condemn all those who, in
the name of anarchy, found the chance to steal or destroy everything
they could. Banks or financial companies are targets, clothing or mobiles selling shops are not.
We're normal people, people like you. We have the right to think, and
we also have the right to disagree with anything we believe is unfair.
These rights NO ONE can take them away from us. The battle will
continue... We may have only stones and bottles (OK true, full of
gasoline, but is the only "weapon" we can use!), while they carry real
guns (and they proved they have no problem using them!), they're
dressed like the rambo (from the movie, you know!!!) and they use
chemicals - much more often than needed - even against mature people or
young students who were peacefully accompany Alex to his last
trip. We'll keep on fighting though (even if, in the bottom of our
heart, we know we have almost zero chances to win) just because we want
a better world for us and our children. And we deserve it!!!
