Thanks for posting this here. Lbo-talk isn't very heavily frequented nowadays but if you wouldn't have posted this, I would've missed it. Your description the Golden Dawn thugs remindsme of the riff-raff depicted in Costa-Gravas' _Z_, a mish-mash of cops moonlighting as fascists and lumpen elements trained in the school of hard knocks.
