    I like riots in Athens. Plenty of things get destroyed, but generally just something associated with the government. You could park your car in the middle of one and it’ll be fine, but the signage, bins, bus stop, etc. nearby, probably torn down and set on fire. There’s always the strong sent of fuel and tear gas, but everyone’s property stays nice and safe…mostly

      instead of destroying bus stops they should demonstrate at the parliament. best chance to be heard by politicians if they suddendly miss their appointments

        they should demonstrate at the parliament

        That’s the standard.

        Water, food, gas mask, head to “the square” and be prepared to fight in for a couple of kilometres.

        Been like that for 2,500 years.

        The bus stops are destroyed along with other things along the way, to be used as barracades. Like this…

      That is the difference between forceful, possibly violent protest and just plain old hooliganism and crime (plundering small local stores + selling loot).
