Greek Consulate Gate Smashed Down In Boston

"On Tuesday, December 16th a group of 30 demonstrators marched from Arlington Street and gathered in front of the Greek Consulate to stand in support of the Greek people. They stayed for an hour under police watch with lively chants, red and black flags and colorful banners. After an hour of demonstrating and flyering, the group dispersed under the calls of “We’ll be back!” and the police then retreated. Soon after, the demonstrators returned with a spirited energy, charging across the street to block the entrance of the consulate. In the ensuing excitement, the outer iron gate was smashed open, and the government officials inside the consulate quickly fled from sight. The group then melded into city, cheering as they went. Later that evening, Boston Detective Andrew Creed, the officer in charge of Anarchist repression, posted his view of events to the public internet forum Boston Lemming Trail of which he is a regular poster under the user name “Keegs”. “The only suck [sic] thing” he said, “was, after the demonstrators and us [sic] ‘left’, a few anarchists came back and smashed the gate to the consulate. That sort of adds a new dimension to [sic] situation for us.”

In response to the call to action from Greece, at noon on Saturday, December 20th people will meet at Faneuil Hall to march in support of the Greek insurrection. “It is important to take action in support of the rebels who are risking their lives to fight against the conditions imposed upon them by authoritarian governments and a broken capitalist system,” says Boston Anarchist Frances Roylos. “If we have to choose between starvation and revolution, we choose revolution.”"
