What I noticed at the end of the video was police retreating from the group to protect the parliament. My bet is the police are beginning to figure out they're screwed to. It will be interesting to see if they start joining the protesters and we'll see a real revolution occur by throwing out the Greek government. This happened in Romania. The Greek people bear no responsibility for the way finances were handled any more than Americans for being sold an inflated standard of living over the last 20-30 years.
