Greek tragi-comedy

The inclusion of a far right party in government, especially in a country on the verge of collapse is never a good thing to read about, but since the group on question seem to have less than 6% of the vote, not really a cause for concern.

What caught my eye however was the accompanying picture which, despite its violence, was almost comical given the bat wielding protester seems to be skipping down the road in short  pants, and wearing a gas mask that makes him look like a lolloping jar-jar binks. Terrible scene, but made me laugh. It's either that or cry I guess...
