Greek riots, day #4: Troubled mourning, an uneasy silence descends


"On the day of Alexandros' funeral, disrupted by teargas & police harrasing the attendants, protesters fed up with the mindless violence of previous days, but mostly of police brutality that cracked down on rioter & passerby alike, gathered in front of Aristotelous Sq. police precinct to chant their defiance at cops from point blank range in an hours' worth of candlelit vigil & sitdown protest, after which they dispersed peacefully.
It was the most moving sight I've seen in these last troubled days from up close, nearly brought me to tears."
