This is a bit laughable....

"Private Greek media and/* _a website popular among leftist youths_*/_, www.indymedia.org <http://www.indymedia.org>_, said the teenager had been shot in the chest and died while being transferred to a local hospital." (...) "Mr. Pavlopoulos, who tendered a resignation early Sunday that was not accepted by the Greek Prime Minister, called for restraint during those rallies.

"People have the right to protest and will do so, but while the pain and grief caused by the minor's death is understandable, no outrage... can lead to the violence and destruction of private property that was witnessed [Sunday]."
