Don't throw more tear gus....we cry by ourselves for our friend......

In Greek:
"Μη μας ρίχνετε άλλα δακρυγόνα....κλαίμε και από μόνοι μας για τον Αλέξανδρο"
This is how we feel...a combination of anger, desperation and disappointment...and tears, many tears!
The last week I read a series of articles analyzing what happens in Greece....some superficial, some more elaborated...today 6/8 Greek citizens described the situation as a social uprising....and a call from home, made me smile....my dad read a very conservative analysis and furiously asked me! "so the young people don't face any problem in Greece ?and since when being an anarchist is bad per se"?
He made me anxious to go home, enjoy long conversations both at home and with friends while drinking and arguing...
this is what I miss about Greece... the aesthetics of authentic politicization.....maybe there is still hope....
This morning I heard that the Greek police run out of tear gus and asked more to be sent from Israel and Germany.....
