National turmoil - alert!

I 'm afraid we 're going from bad to worse as a country...

I received an email a few minutes ago! Have a look!


Please pray with us
 
- When people rioted a few years back, burning and crashing everything I 
did not worry. When in the beginning of the crisis some employees were 
accidentally burned to death I was a bit worried. Nowadays, I am finally 
really worried. After some robbers killing somebody to get his camera 
that meant to shoot the birth of his child, right wing groups started 
attacking immigrants indiscriminately. They even barged into houses. 
Next a random bypasser was killed simply because his was foreigner. Now 
these events escalate from both sides... they both feed from reasons 
that can easily lead to a wider outbrake of violence.
At the same time there is a lot of resentment towards police that has 
abandoned whole areas of Athens so that it is not safe to go through 
them even in day light. It also happens that police fatally injured a 
couple of protesters while they were unable to be of threat. Hence, 
people are angry that instead of being protected they are injured when 
they protest against injustices.
The situation is highly inflammable and it does not take much for things 
to totally get out of control. These days we see a glimpse of that!
