Violence reignited in Athens following vigils for the teenager killed by police a week ago
Greek rioters have attacked an environment ministry building , shops and banks in Athens on the eighth day of protests following the killing of a teenager by police .
The clashes late on Saturday came after an evening candle-lit <m> vigil </m> to mark the shooting of 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos .
Youths attacked a police station with petrol bombs in central Athens as well as at least three banks , several stores and a government building , police said .
Several hundred protesters set up burning barricades and attacked police with rocks and flares .
The killing of Grigoropoulos has sparked the worst rioting Greece has seen in decades , with at least 70 people injured in cities across the country .
Hundreds of stores have been smashed and looted , and more than 200 people have been arrested .
Earlier , hundreds of schoolchildren holding candles gathered peacefully outside the parliament building in Athens and at the site where Grigoropoulos was shot .
They left candles spelling out the name `` Alex '' in front of a line of riot policemen .
Banners in the main square outside parliament read : `` The state kills '' and `` Down with the government of murderers '' .
`` The murder of Alexis was the last straw .
Being a young man in Greece today is a crime ...
They are stealing our dreams , '' said one leaflet distributed in the square .
The young protesters promised to remain on the streets until their concerns , including opposition to the increasingly unpopular government and worry over economic issues , are addressed .
Throughout most of the day , the capital had appeared calmer than in the past week .
Christmas shoppers cautiously returned to central Athens earlier on Saturday , but many stores had boarded up their windows instead of replacing the glass , for fear of further violence .
Much of the rioting has been blamed on an anarchist fringe tapping into resentment over political scandals and the impact of the global slowdown . |

Several hundred protesters set up burning barricades and attacked police with rocks and flares. Riot police fired tear gas and chased the youths through parts of the city .
The protesters chanted `` murderers out '' and used laser pointers to target police for attack .
Violence has wracked Greece every day since the death of teenager Alexandros Grigoropoulos .
The riots in cities throughout the country has left at least 70 people injured .
Hundreds of stores have been smashed and looted , and more than 200 people have been arrested .
While most of the protesters have been peaceful , the tone of the demonstrations has been set by a violent fringe .

The young protesters promised to remain on the streets until their concerns - including opposition to increasingly unpopular government and worry over economic issues - are addressed .
`` Speaking as an anarchist , we want to create those social conditions that will generate more uprisings and to get more people out in the streets to demand their rights , '' said 32-year-old protester Paris Kyriakides .
`` In the end , the violence that we use is minimal in comparison to the violence of the system uses , like the banks , '' Kyriakides said .
Earlier Saturday , a crowd of about 1,000 people attended a peaceful sit-down demonstration in Athens and another 1,000 demonstrated in the northern city of Thessaloniki .
One 16-year-old student at the Athens demonstration , who gave only her first name , Veatriki , said young people her age felt their voices were being heard immediately when they smashed a shop window or a car .
She also said young people want to see the policemen involved in the shooting punished and the police disarmed .
The two officers involved in the boy 's shooting have been arrested .
One was charged with murder and the other as an accomplice .
The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain unclear .
Giorgos Kyrtsos , publisher of the City Press and Free Sunday newspapers , said the violent demonstrations revealed widespread public discontent .
`` We are entering a long period of economic crisis , '' Kyrtsos said .
`` But there is also a deepening social crisis , combined with a weakened state .
We are truly at a crossroads . ''
Kyrtsos , a conservative , was highly critical of the government 's handling of the protests .
`` This is the only government I remember that has managed to alienate both the rebellious youth and the law-and-order crowd , '' he said .
`` It has nothing to offer to anybody . ''
Christmas shoppers cautiously returned to central Athens earlier Saturday , but many stores had boarded up their windows instead of replacing the glass , for fear of further violence .

While most of the protesters have been peaceful , the tone of the demonstrations has been set by a violent fringe .
And more young people have been willing to join those fringe elements than in the past .
Hundreds of school children holding candles gathered peacefully Saturday outside parliament and at the site where teenager was shot .
Outside parliament , they left candles spelling out the name `` Alex '' in front of a line of riot policemen .
The young protesters promised to remain on the streets until their concerns - including opposition to increasingly unpopular government and worry over economic issues - are addressed .
`` Speaking as an anarchist , we want to create those social conditions that will generate more uprisings and to get more people out in the streets to demand their rights , '' said 32-year-old protester Paris Kyriakides .
`` In the end , the violence that we use is minimal in comparison to the violence of the system uses , like the banks , '' Kyriakides said .
Earlier Saturday , a crowd of about 1,000 people attended a peaceful sit-down demonstration in Athens and another 1,000 demonstrated in the northern city of Thessaloniki .
One 16-year-old student at the Athens demonstration , who gave only her first name , Veatriki , said young people her age felt their voices were being heard immediately when they smashed a shop window or a car .
She also said young people want to see the policemen involved in the shooting punished and the police disarmed .
The two officers involved in the boy 's shooting have been arrested .
One was charged with murder and the other as an accomplice .
The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain unclear .
Giorgos Kyrtsos , publisher of the City Press and Free Sunday newspapers , said the violent demonstrations revealed widespread public discontent .
`` We are entering a long period of economic crisis , '' Kyrtsos said .
`` But there is also a deepening social crisis , combined with a weakened state .
We are truly at a crossroads . ''
Kyrtsos , a conservative , was highly critical of the government 's handling of the protests .
`` This is the only government I remember that has managed to alienate both the rebellious youth and the law-and-order crowd , '' he said .
`` It has nothing to offer to anybody . ''
Christmas shoppers cautiously returned to central Athens earlier Saturday , but many stores had boarded up their windows instead of replacing the glass , for fear of further violence .
Athens Mayor Nikitas Kaklamanis greeted shoppers with the city 's brass band .
`` People came up to me and were telling me that it was the first time they had smiled in days , '' the mayor said . |

`` We are entering a long period of economic crisis , '' Kyrtsos said .
`` But there is also a deepening social crisis , combined with a weakened state .
We are truly at a crossroads . ''
Kyrtsos , a conservative , was highly critical of the government 's handling of the protests .
`` This is the only government I remember that has managed to alienate both the rebellious youth and the law-and-order crowd , '' he said .
`` It has nothing to offer to anybody . ''
Christmas shoppers cautiously returned to central Athens earlier Saturday , but many stores had boarded up their windows instead of replacing the glass , for fear of further violence .
Athens Mayor Nikitas Kaklamanis greeted shoppers with the city 's brass band .
`` People came up to me and were telling me that it was the first time they had smiled in days , '' the mayor said . |

<m> Police </m> intervened after more than 100 people joined together for a candlelit vigil in the East Flatbush neighborhood in Brooklyn , New York , where 16 - year - old Kimani Gray was shot multiple times by police on Saturday .
Brooklynites on Twitter reported that police followed the march and searched apartment buildings in the neighborhood without warrants , looking for children who had been seen throwing bottles at police from neighborhood rooftops .
Officers clad in riot gear were seen along the block , and barricades were placed on the streets .
March participants chanted , "NYPD / KKK / how many kids will you kill today , " witnesses reported .
Police said the crowd fell the 67th Precinct station in East Flatbush , where teenagers who were not apparently a part of any organized group threw garbage and empty bottles at the windows .
"I'm in the middle of the riot action at Church and Snyder in my district .
Right now , things are tense , " New York City Councilman Jumaane D . Williams , who represents the area , said on Twitter .
Williams said people smashed out windows and overturned garbage cans during the disorder , and that one person had been attacked outside of a local Rite Aid .
“ Tonight was a peaceful vigil that devolved into a riot , ” Williams wrote .
“ The youth in this community have no outlets for their anger , no community . ”
One person is believed to have been arrested , and no injuries were reported .
Sixteen - year - old Kimani Gray was shot and killed on Saturday night after pointing a gun at two plainclothes officers who approached him , police said .
According to the officers involved in the shooting , the teenager adjusted his belt "suspiciously , " and after they exited their vehicle to investigate , he pointed a . 357 caliber revolver at them .
Both officers fired a total of 11 shots at the suspect , hitting Gray multiple times in his torso and legs .
His sister , Mahnefah Gray , told NY1 she doubted her brother was carrying a gun , but was rather grabbing his belt “ to squeeze it ” because he had a “ skinny waist . ”
"They thought he was grabbing back to get a gun , ” she said .
“ He's 16 years old .
What is he pointing a gun at over six police , knowing that they would kill him ?
He has common sense . "
Witnesses said that Gray , who was running for his life when he was shot , did not have a gun .
"Stay down , or we ’ ll shoot you again , ” police said once Gray had been hit , according to the New York Times .
"The cops , they just jumped out of the car so fast , " the New York Daily News quoted witness Devonte Brown as saying .
"They started shooting him and he went down , he was bleeding , holding his side , screaming , 'stop , stop . "
But one woman , who identified herself as the slain teen ’ s cousin , told NY1 that Kimani was in fact holding the gun for a friend .
She also believed that Kimani was attempting to alert the police that he had the weapon rather than use it .
After the shooting , Gray was rushed to a hospital but was declared dead on arrival .
The officers involved in the shooting were also treated for trauma and tinnitus .
Police said there is no evidence the unidentified officers acted inappropriately , though they were put on administrative leave .
The also said that Gray had previously been arrested four times on charges of grand larceny , possession of stolen property and inciting a riot . |

Police intervened after more than 100 people <m> joined </m> together for a candlelit vigil in the East Flatbush neighborhood in Brooklyn , New York , where 16 - year - old Kimani Gray was shot multiple times by police on Saturday .
Brooklynites on Twitter reported that police followed the march and searched apartment buildings in the neighborhood without warrants , looking for children who had been seen throwing bottles at police from neighborhood rooftops .
Officers clad in riot gear were seen along the block , and barricades were placed on the streets .
March participants chanted , "NYPD / KKK / how many kids will you kill today , " witnesses reported .
Police said the crowd fell the 67th Precinct station in East Flatbush , where teenagers who were not apparently a part of any organized group threw garbage and empty bottles at the windows .
"I'm in the middle of the riot action at Church and Snyder in my district .
Right now , things are tense , " New York City Councilman Jumaane D . Williams , who represents the area , said on Twitter .
Williams said people smashed out windows and overturned garbage cans during the disorder , and that one person had been attacked outside of a local Rite Aid .
“ Tonight was a peaceful vigil that devolved into a riot , ” Williams wrote .
“ The youth in this community have no outlets for their anger , no community . ”
One person is believed to have been arrested , and no injuries were reported .
Sixteen - year - old Kimani Gray was shot and killed on Saturday night after pointing a gun at two plainclothes officers who approached him , police said .
According to the officers involved in the shooting , the teenager adjusted his belt "suspiciously , " and after they exited their vehicle to investigate , he pointed a . 357 caliber revolver at them .
Both officers fired a total of 11 shots at the suspect , hitting Gray multiple times in his torso and legs .
His sister , Mahnefah Gray , told NY1 she doubted her brother was carrying a gun , but was rather grabbing his belt “ to squeeze it ” because he had a “ skinny waist . ”
"They thought he was grabbing back to get a gun , ” she said .
“ He's 16 years old .
What is he pointing a gun at over six police , knowing that they would kill him ?
He has common sense . "
Witnesses said that Gray , who was running for his life when he was shot , did not have a gun .
"Stay down , or we ’ ll shoot you again , ” police said once Gray had been hit , according to the New York Times .
"The cops , they just jumped out of the car so fast , " the New York Daily News quoted witness Devonte Brown as saying .
"They started shooting him and he went down , he was bleeding , holding his side , screaming , 'stop , stop . "
But one woman , who identified herself as the slain teen ’ s cousin , told NY1 that Kimani was in fact holding the gun for a friend .
She also believed that Kimani was attempting to alert the police that he had the weapon rather than use it .
After the shooting , Gray was rushed to a hospital but was declared dead on arrival .
The officers involved in the shooting were also treated for trauma and tinnitus .
Police said there is no evidence the unidentified officers acted inappropriately , though they were put on administrative leave .
The also said that Gray had previously been arrested four times on charges of grand larceny , possession of stolen property and inciting a riot . |

Police intervened after more than 100 people joined together for a candlelit vigil in the East Flatbush neighborhood in Brooklyn , New York , where 16 - year - old Kimani Gray was shot multiple times by police on Saturday .
Brooklynites on Twitter reported that police followed the march and searched apartment buildings in the neighborhood without warrants , looking for children who had been seen throwing bottles at police from neighborhood rooftops .
Officers clad in riot gear were seen along the block , and barricades were placed on the streets .
March participants chanted , "NYPD / KKK / how many kids will you kill today , " witnesses reported .
Police said the crowd fell the 67th Precinct station in East Flatbush , where teenagers who were not apparently a part of any organized group threw garbage and empty bottles at the windows .
"I'm in the middle of the riot action at Church and Snyder in my district .
Right now , things are tense , " New York City Councilman Jumaane D . Williams , who represents the area , said on Twitter .
Williams said people smashed out windows and overturned garbage cans during the disorder , and that one person had been attacked outside of a local Rite Aid .
“ Tonight was a peaceful vigil that devolved into a riot , ” Williams wrote .
“ The youth in this community have no outlets for their anger , no community . ”
One person is believed to have been arrested , and no injuries were reported .

Both officers fired a total of 11 shots at the suspect , hitting Gray multiple times in his torso and legs .

A week of violence in Greece has taken its toll on the fragile conservative government , with opinion polls showing on Sunday that many think authorities mishandled the worst rioting in decades .
The December 6 killing of a 15-year-old teenager by police unleashed a wave of unrest by thousands of <m> students </m> and anarchists across the country , feeding on growing anger over political scandals and the impact of a global recession on Greece 's economy .
While the violence generally has subsided in the past few days , small groups of hooded youngsters with fire bombs are still rampaging at night in the capital , fighting running battles with riot police and smashing shops .
Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis has pledged to protect people and property , but he has drawn widespread criticism for not acting quickly and decisively to tackle the revolt .
An opinion poll published by Ethnos newspaper on Sunday said 83.3 percent of Greeks were unhappy with the government 's response to the violence .
Discontent was high -- at 65.6 percent -- even among supporters of Karamanlis ' New Democracy party , which has a one-seat majority in parliament and already lagged behind the Socialist opposition before the riots .
Another survey , in Kathimerini daily , put disapproval of the government at 68 percent with 60 percent of those polled saying the riots were a social uprising rather than an outburst by an isolated fringe of violent protesters .
More demonstrations are planned for Monday , including one outside the police headquarters in Athens .
Eight days of clashes have caused 200 million euros ( $ 265.3 million ) of damage in Athens alone .
The city was calm on Sunday but broken shop windows bore witness to the latest , sporadic riots overnight , when a few hundred youths wearing gas masks attacked a government building , four shops and two banks .
`` I 'm tired of coming to the shop every night to check the damages .
You think it 's going to calm down and then it starts again , '' said Anna Pavlidou , manager of a central Athens mobile phone store that has been repeatedly attacked and looted .
`` The government should assume its responsibilities and resign .
It did n't handle it well .
If it had , we would n't have 355 damaged shops in Athens .
I mean , we will not be able to open until Christmas , '' she told Reuters .
`` Someone has to understand the deeper reasons for this -- poverty , high unemployment -- and solve it radically . ''
The policeman charged with killing Alexandros Grigoropoulos has been jailed along with a colleague pending trial , while more than 400 protesters have been detained over the unrest .
In central Athens , where even in calmer times barely a week goes by without a demonstration , riot police with teargas canisters have been manning street corners at night , especially in the leftist Exarchia neighborhood where the boy was shot . |

A week of violence in Greece has taken its toll on the fragile conservative government , with opinion polls showing on Sunday that many think authorities mishandled the worst rioting in decades .
The December 6 killing of a 15-year-old teenager by police unleashed a wave of unrest by thousands of students and anarchists across <m> the country </m> , feeding on growing anger over political scandals and the impact of a global recession on Greece 's economy .
While the violence generally has subsided in the past few days , small groups of hooded youngsters with fire bombs are still rampaging at night in the capital , fighting running battles with riot police and smashing shops .
Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis has pledged to protect people and property , but he has drawn widespread criticism for not acting quickly and decisively to tackle the revolt .
An opinion poll published by Ethnos newspaper on Sunday said 83.3 percent of Greeks were unhappy with the government 's response to the violence .
Discontent was high -- at 65.6 percent -- even among supporters of Karamanlis ' New Democracy party , which has a one-seat majority in parliament and already lagged behind the Socialist opposition before the riots .
Another survey , in Kathimerini daily , put disapproval of the government at 68 percent with 60 percent of those polled saying the riots were a social uprising rather than an outburst by an isolated fringe of violent protesters .
More demonstrations are planned for Monday , including one outside the police headquarters in Athens .
Eight days of clashes have caused 200 million euros ( $ 265.3 million ) of damage in Athens alone .
The city was calm on Sunday but broken shop windows bore witness to the latest , sporadic riots overnight , when a few hundred youths wearing gas masks attacked a government building , four shops and two banks .
`` I 'm tired of coming to the shop every night to check the damages .
You think it 's going to calm down and then it starts again , '' said Anna Pavlidou , manager of a central Athens mobile phone store that has been repeatedly attacked and looted .
`` The government should assume its responsibilities and resign .
It did n't handle it well .
If it had , we would n't have 355 damaged shops in Athens .

A week of violence in Greece has taken its toll on the fragile conservative government , with opinion polls showing on Sunday that many think authorities mishandled the worst rioting in decades .
The December 6 killing of a 15-year-old teenager by police unleashed a wave of unrest by thousands of students and anarchists across the country , feeding on growing anger over political scandals and the impact of a global <m> recession </m> on Greece 's economy .
While the violence generally has subsided in the past few days , small groups of hooded youngsters with fire bombs are still rampaging at night in the capital , fighting running battles with riot police and smashing shops .
Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis has pledged to protect people and property , but he has drawn widespread criticism for not acting quickly and decisively to tackle the revolt .
An opinion poll published by Ethnos newspaper on Sunday said 83.3 percent of Greeks were unhappy with the government 's response to the violence .
Discontent was high -- at 65.6 percent -- even among supporters of Karamanlis ' New Democracy party , which has a one-seat majority in parliament and already lagged behind the Socialist opposition before the riots .
Another survey , in Kathimerini daily , put disapproval of the government at 68 percent with 60 percent of those polled saying the riots were a social uprising rather than an outburst by an isolated fringe of violent protesters .
More demonstrations are planned for Monday , including one outside the police headquarters in Athens .
Eight days of clashes have caused 200 million euros ( $ 265.3 million ) of damage in Athens alone .
The city was calm on Sunday but broken shop windows bore witness to the latest , sporadic riots overnight , when a few hundred youths wearing gas masks attacked a government building , four shops and two banks .
`` I 'm tired of coming to the shop every night to check the damages .
You think it 's going to calm down and then it starts again , '' said Anna Pavlidou , manager of a central Athens mobile phone store that has been repeatedly attacked and looted .
`` The government should assume its responsibilities and resign .
It did n't handle it well .
If it had , we would n't have 355 damaged shops in Athens .
I mean , we will not be able to open until Christmas , '' she told Reuters .

For more than a week , Athenian streets have been a battleground between <m> police </m> and protesters , whose anger was sparked by the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy by a policeman .
Protected by Greece 's Constitution from police interference , the Polytechnic has become the headquarters of the protest movement - and a haven for those wreaking havoc on the city 's streets .
As Greeks try to make sense of the chaos - and prepare for another week of protests , ranging from sit-ins to nationwide roadblocks - many here are beginning to ask whether the asylum law is protecting free speech or simply harboring criminals .
`` The university asylum is for the freedom of movement of ideas , but not of commitment of criminal actions , '' says George Bergeles , a professor at the Polytechnic who is sympathetic to the students ' complaints , but not their harsh tactics .
`` The law about university asylum I believe is a fantastic achievement of the university movement , but we should protect it by not allowing criminal offenses to happen inside . ''
The Polytechnic holds historic importance for Greeks .
In November 1973 , students barricaded themselves inside in rebellion against the country 's military junta , which had been in power since 1967 .
Fearful that the revolt would spread , on Nov. 17 the national police moved in with tanks , killing a still-disputed number of protesters .
The junta fell less than a year later .
Greece 's new Constitution gave special status to universities and other schools , forever barring the police from entering their grounds .
Today , the Poly-technic and other institutions of learning are once again brimming with revolutionary zeal .
Across Athens , high schools and universities are under occupation by students and other youth angry at the Dec. 6 killing of Alexandros Grigoropoulos and also at a political system they see as corrupt and incompetent .
So far , Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis has rejected calls by opposition leaders to hold early elections , but his center-right party holds only a one-seat majority in parliament , and public support for his government was weak even before the riots .
The latest poll numbers show a 20 percent approval rating .
The Polytechnic , which lies on the border of the edgy neighborhood of Exarchia , where the 15-year-old was killed , is serving as the heart and brain center of the revolt .
There , anarchists - many of whom call Exarchia their home - are helping to organize students and other young people .
The area just outside its gates has been the site of some of the most intense clashes with police .
Inside , protesters regroup and rearm around bonfires that burn through the night .
There 's an air of menace outside the Polytechnic .
But Stergia Sarantopoulou , an architecture student there who has been participating in protests , says the mood is angry but collegial .
Like many students , she passionately defends the asylum law .
`` There are historical , political , ideological reasons for the immunity to exist , '' she says .
`` Universities are our home .
It 's the students home ; it 's the teachers home . ''
The university safe-haven policy might at times be abused , Ms. Sarantopoulou says , but in the long run society is better off by having a law that forever ensures a safe place for free speech .
`` It 's much more harmful for the state to control [ universities , ] '' she says .
The explosion of rioting and looting that took place in the aftermath of Alexandros 's death has faded in recent days , but there are still daily protests , many of which end in hails of rocks and flaming Molotov cocktails .
On Saturday , the one-week anniversary of the shooting , the protests were largely peaceful , though still angry .
In daylight , a fragile normality began to return to the city center , with shops again opening and people returning to work .
But at night , uncertain Athenians stayed away from the normally bustling city center , which was ghostly quiet .
Groups of young people roamed the streets across central Athens , shouting:
`` This night is for Alexi ! ''
A heavy cloud of tear gas and smoke hung over Exarchia , which felt like a rebel-held enclave in a city at war .
Police lingered warily on its edges as young people set up burning barricades and attacked government buildings and banks .
And clashes erupted once again outside the Polytechnic .
Few here think the unrest will end anytime soon , and the rage of Greece 's youth continues to smolder .
The death of Alexandros 's has tapped into anger about a range of broader complaints - about corruption , nepotism , a failing education system , and the poor economic prospects of young people , including unemployment rates in the 25 percent range .
Protests are expected to continue throughout the week , with activists calling for roads to be blocked nationwide on Tuesday .
They say they want to bring down Greece 's whole political system - it 's not just the current government that is seen as tainted , most believe the main opposition is little better .
The protesters , however , struggle to articulate exactly what they want in its place .
`` Do n't bend your head down , '' they chanted as they confronted police recently in front of parliament .
`` The only way is resistance . '' |

For more than <m> a week </m> , Athenian streets have been a battleground between police and protesters , whose anger was sparked by the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy by a policeman .
Protected by Greece 's Constitution from police interference , the Polytechnic has become the headquarters of the protest movement - and a haven for those wreaking havoc on the city 's streets .
As Greeks try to make sense of the chaos - and prepare for another week of protests , ranging from sit-ins to nationwide roadblocks - many here are beginning to ask whether the asylum law is protecting free speech or simply harboring criminals .
`` The university asylum is for the freedom of movement of ideas , but not of commitment of criminal actions , '' says George Bergeles , a professor at the Polytechnic who is sympathetic to the students ' complaints , but not their harsh tactics .
`` The law about university asylum I believe is a fantastic achievement of the university movement , but we should protect it by not allowing criminal offenses to happen inside . ''
The Polytechnic holds historic importance for Greeks .
In November 1973 , students barricaded themselves inside in rebellion against the country 's military junta , which had been in power since 1967 .
Fearful that the revolt would spread , on Nov. 17 the national police moved in with tanks , killing a still-disputed number of protesters .
The junta fell less than a year later .
Greece 's new Constitution gave special status to universities and other schools , forever barring the police from entering their grounds .
Today , the Poly-technic and other institutions of learning are once again brimming with revolutionary zeal .
Across Athens , high schools and universities are under occupation by students and other youth angry at the Dec. 6 killing of Alexandros Grigoropoulos and also at a political system they see as corrupt and incompetent .
So far , Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis has rejected calls by opposition leaders to hold early elections , but his center-right party holds only a one-seat majority in parliament , and public support for his government was weak even before the riots .
The latest poll numbers show a 20 percent approval rating .
The Polytechnic , which lies on the border of the edgy neighborhood of Exarchia , where the 15-year-old was killed , is serving as the heart and brain center of the revolt .
There , anarchists - many of whom call Exarchia their home - are helping to organize students and other young people .
The area just outside its gates has been the site of some of the most intense clashes with police .
Inside , protesters regroup and rearm around bonfires that burn through the night .
There 's an air of menace outside the Polytechnic .
But Stergia Sarantopoulou , an architecture student there who has been participating in protests , says the mood is angry but collegial .
Like many students , she passionately defends the asylum law .
`` There are historical , political , ideological reasons for the immunity to exist , '' she says .
`` Universities are our home .
It 's the students home ; it 's the teachers home . ''
The university safe-haven policy might at times be abused , Ms. Sarantopoulou says , but in the long run society is better off by having a law that forever ensures a safe place for free speech .
`` It 's much more harmful for the state to control [ universities , ] '' she says .
The explosion of rioting and looting that took place in the aftermath of Alexandros 's death has faded in recent days , but there are still daily protests , many of which end in hails of rocks and flaming Molotov cocktails .
On Saturday , the one-week anniversary of the shooting , the protests were largely peaceful , though still angry .
In daylight , a fragile normality began to return to the city center , with shops again opening and people returning to work .
But at night , uncertain Athenians stayed away from the normally bustling city center , which was ghostly quiet .
Groups of young people roamed the streets across central Athens , shouting:
`` This night is for Alexi ! ''
A heavy cloud of tear gas and smoke hung over Exarchia , which felt like a rebel-held enclave in a city at war .
Police lingered warily on its edges as young people set up burning barricades and attacked government buildings and banks .
And clashes erupted once again outside the Polytechnic .
Few here think the unrest will end anytime soon , and the rage of Greece 's youth continues to smolder .
The death of Alexandros 's has tapped into anger about a range of broader complaints - about corruption , nepotism , a failing education system , and the poor economic prospects of young people , including unemployment rates in the 25 percent range .
Protests are expected to continue throughout the week , with activists calling for roads to be blocked nationwide on Tuesday .
They say they want to bring down Greece 's whole political system - it 's not just the current government that is seen as tainted , most believe the main opposition is little better .
The protesters , however , struggle to articulate exactly what they want in its place .
`` Do n't bend your head down , '' they chanted as they confronted police recently in front of parliament .
`` The only way is resistance . '' |

`` It 's much more harmful for the state to control [ universities , ] '' she says .
The explosion of rioting and looting that took place in the aftermath of Alexandros 's death has faded in recent days , but there are still daily protests , many of which end in hails of rocks and flaming Molotov cocktails .
On Saturday , the one-week anniversary of the shooting , the protests were largely peaceful , though still angry .
In daylight , a fragile normality began to return to the city center , with shops again opening and people returning to work .
But at night , uncertain Athenians stayed away from the normally bustling city center , which was ghostly quiet .
Groups of young people roamed the streets across central Athens , shouting:
`` This night is for Alexi ! ''
A heavy cloud of tear gas and smoke hung over Exarchia , which felt like a rebel-held enclave in a city at war .
Police lingered warily on its edges as young people set up burning barricades and attacked government buildings and banks .
And clashes erupted once again outside the Polytechnic .
Few here think the unrest will end anytime soon , and the rage of Greece 's youth continues to smolder .
The death of Alexandros 's has tapped into anger about a range of broader complaints - about corruption , nepotism , a failing education system , and the poor economic prospects of young people , including unemployment rates in the 25 percent range .
Protests are expected to continue throughout the week , with activists calling for roads to be blocked nationwide on Tuesday .
They say they want to bring down Greece 's whole political system - it 's not just the current government that is seen as tainted , most believe the main opposition is little better .
The protesters , however , struggle to articulate exactly what they want in its place .

Greek law keeps police away from universities , but some fear the immunity clause meant to protect free speech is now being used to harbor bastions of violence .
Masked men wielding clubs guard the entrance to the Athens Polytechnic University , keeping watch over the graffiti-covered walls on campus .
Nearby streets are barricaded with the carcasses of burnt cars , and a huge black banner proclaims `` MURDERERS '' - the rallying cry that has brought Greece 's youths to the streets .

For more than a week , Athenian streets have been a <m> battleground </m> between police and protesters , whose anger was sparked by the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy by a policeman .
Protected by Greece 's Constitution from police interference , the Polytechnic has become the headquarters of the protest movement - and a haven for those wreaking havoc on the city 's streets .
As Greeks try to make sense of the chaos - and prepare for another week of protests , ranging from sit-ins to nationwide roadblocks - many here are beginning to ask whether the asylum law is protecting free speech or simply harboring criminals .
`` The university asylum is for the freedom of movement of ideas , but not of commitment of criminal actions , '' says George Bergeles , a professor at the Polytechnic who is sympathetic to the students ' complaints , but not their harsh tactics .
`` The law about university asylum I believe is a fantastic achievement of the university movement , but we should protect it by not allowing criminal offenses to happen inside . ''
The Polytechnic holds historic importance for Greeks .
In November 1973 , students barricaded themselves inside in rebellion against the country 's military junta , which had been in power since 1967 .
Fearful that the revolt would spread , on Nov. 17 the national police moved in with tanks , killing a still-disputed number of protesters .
The junta fell less than a year later .
Greece 's new Constitution gave special status to universities and other schools , forever barring the police from entering their grounds .
Today , the Poly-technic and other institutions of learning are once again brimming with revolutionary zeal .
Across Athens , high schools and universities are under occupation by students and other youth angry at the Dec. 6 killing of Alexandros Grigoropoulos and also at a political system they see as corrupt and incompetent .
So far , Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis has rejected calls by opposition leaders to hold early elections , but his center-right party holds only a one-seat majority in parliament , and public support for his government was weak even before the riots .
The latest poll numbers show a 20 percent approval rating .
The Polytechnic , which lies on the border of the edgy neighborhood of Exarchia , where the 15-year-old was killed , is serving as the heart and brain center of the revolt .
There , anarchists - many of whom call Exarchia their home - are helping to organize students and other young people .
The area just outside its gates has been the site of some of the most intense clashes with police .
Inside , protesters regroup and rearm around bonfires that burn through the night .
There 's an air of menace outside the Polytechnic .
But Stergia Sarantopoulou , an architecture student there who has been participating in protests , says the mood is angry but collegial .
Like many students , she passionately defends the asylum law .
`` There are historical , political , ideological reasons for the immunity to exist , '' she says .
`` Universities are our home .
It 's the students home ; it 's the teachers home . ''
The university safe-haven policy might at times be abused , Ms. Sarantopoulou says , but in the long run society is better off by having a law that forever ensures a safe place for free speech .

Riots Erupt Following Death of Brooklyn <m> Teen </m> Killed By Police
In the week following the fatal shooting of 16 - year - old Kimani Gray , several protests and riots have erupted in the teen's Brooklyn neighborhood as the cops involved have come under scrutiny for previous reported civil rights violations .
Gray was killed on March 9 by police who claim he pointed a gun at Sgt . Mourad Mourad and Officer Jovaniel Cordova before they opened fire .
An autopsy shows that Gray was hit in the back by three of the seven bullets fired by the officers .
A loaded . 38 - caliber revolver was found at the scene .
Since the shooting , over 50 arrests have been made over four nights of protesting where community members are expressing outrage and demanding justice .
Gray's school principal , Matthew Willoughby of the Urban Assembly School of Design and Construction , wrote a heartfelt letter describing the teen as a hard - working student who was committed to his academics .
"Kimani made great strides this year academically , ” the letter read .
“ He was taking an extra English class after school ; he was writing a dramatic dialogue in another English class ; his group in design class was working on a project to design a school .
Now they are working to complete the project without him . "
"Kimani should be remembered for all of who he was—an energetic , kind , playful , independent young man who was trying to learn and grow one day at a time , " Willoughby's letter continued .
In the days following Gray's death , it's been revealed that both Mourad and Cordova have reportedly been named in five federal lawsuits with plaintiffs alleging civil rights violations .
As a result , the two men have reportedly cost the city about $215 , 000 in court settlements .
In 2009 and 2010 , Mourad was sued three times with allegations including a stop - and - frisk in which Mourad and fellow cops pulled down a suspect's underwear , and an illegal arrest in which the plaintiff says he was slammed into a car .
Cordova was sued in 2011 and 2012 , with one plaintiff claiming the cop punched him in the eye . |

Riots Erupt Following Death of Brooklyn Teen Killed By Police
In the week <m> following </m> the fatal shooting of 16 - year - old Kimani Gray , several protests and riots have erupted in the teen's Brooklyn neighborhood as the cops involved have come under scrutiny for previous reported civil rights violations .
Gray was killed on March 9 by police who claim he pointed a gun at Sgt . Mourad Mourad and Officer Jovaniel Cordova before they opened fire .
An autopsy shows that Gray was hit in the back by three of the seven bullets fired by the officers .
A loaded . 38 - caliber revolver was found at the scene .
Since the shooting , over 50 arrests have been made over four nights of protesting where community members are expressing outrage and demanding justice .
Gray's school principal , Matthew Willoughby of the Urban Assembly School of Design and Construction , wrote a heartfelt letter describing the teen as a hard - working student who was committed to his academics .
"Kimani made great strides this year academically , ” the letter read .
“ He was taking an extra English class after school ; he was writing a dramatic dialogue in another English class ; his group in design class was working on a project to design a school .
Now they are working to complete the project without him . "
"Kimani should be remembered for all of who he was—an energetic , kind , playful , independent young man who was trying to learn and grow one day at a time , " Willoughby's letter continued .
In the days following Gray's death , it's been revealed that both Mourad and Cordova have reportedly been named in five federal lawsuits with plaintiffs alleging civil rights violations .
As a result , the two men have reportedly cost the city about $215 , 000 in court settlements .
In 2009 and 2010 , Mourad was sued three times with allegations including a stop - and - frisk in which Mourad and fellow cops pulled down a suspect's underwear , and an illegal arrest in which the plaintiff says he was slammed into a car .

“ He was taking an extra English class after school ; he was writing a dramatic dialogue in another English class ; his group in design class was working on a project to design a school .
Now they are working to complete the project without him . "
"Kimani should be remembered for all of who he was—an energetic , kind , playful , independent young man who was trying to learn and grow one day at a time , " Willoughby's letter continued .
In the days following Gray's death , it's been revealed that both Mourad and Cordova have reportedly been named in five federal lawsuits with plaintiffs alleging civil rights violations .
As a result , the two men have reportedly cost the city about $215 , 000 in court settlements .
In 2009 and 2010 , Mourad was sued three times with allegations including a stop - and - frisk in which Mourad and fellow cops pulled down a suspect's underwear , and an illegal arrest in which the plaintiff says he was slammed into a car .
Cordova was sued in 2011 and 2012 , with one plaintiff claiming the cop punched him in the eye . |

Athens was calm Sunday after eight days of the worst riots Greece has seen in decades , sparked by the police killing of a <m> teenager </m> .
Traffic returned to normal in the center of town and an open-topped double-decker bus carried tourists round the city 's main sights .
The popular cafes in the Thissio area under the Acropolis were busy , and couples took their young children for a Sunday walk .
But Greek youths who have protested daily since the boy 's death have vowed to remain on the streets until their concerns are addressed .
Protesters are angry not just at the police but at an increasingly unpopular government and over economic issues .
A newspaper poll published Sunday showed the governing conservatives ' popularity at a dismal 20.6 percent , 5.6 percent below the main opposition Socialists .
However , 55 percent of respondents said neither party seemed competent to handle the situation .
The Focus poll of 1,000 people for Real News gave a 3.1 percent margin of error .
Violence has wracked Greece every day since the death of 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos , spreading quickly from Athens to more than a dozen other cities and leaving at least 70 people injured .
Hundreds of stores have been smashed and looted , and more than 200 people arrested .
Late Saturday and early Sunday , youths in Athens attacked a police station , stores and banks and fought running battles with police , as candlelit vigils were held to mark a week since the shooting .
A new candlelit vigil is planned for Sunday evening at the site of the shooting .
A separate protest is scheduled in western Athens .
While most of the protesters have been peaceful , the tone of the demonstrations has been set by a violent fringe .
And more young people have been willing to join those fringe elements than in the past .
`` In the end , the violence that we use is minimal in comparison to the violence the system uses , like the banks , '' said 32-year-old protester Paris Kyriakides .
`` Speaking as an anarchist , we want to create those social conditions that will generate more uprisings and to get more people out in the streets to demand their rights . ''
In a poll released Sunday , some 62 percent of respondents said the reactions to the shooting were inexcusable , compared with 35 percent who believed the violence was justified .
The poll of 1,000 people gave no margin of error .
According to another poll , Greeks see more in the violence than a simple reaction to the shooting .
Asked whether the riots were a social uprising , 60 percent responded yes .
Some 64 percent considered police were unprepared for the violence .
The poll of 520 people published in the Kathimerini newspaper gave a 4.5 percent margin of error . |

`` In the end , the violence that we use is minimal in comparison to the violence the system uses , like the banks , '' said 32-year-old protester Paris Kyriakides .
`` Speaking as an anarchist , we want to create those social conditions that will generate more uprisings and to get more people out in the streets to demand their rights . ''
In a poll released Sunday , some 62 percent of respondents said the reactions to the shooting were inexcusable , compared with 35 percent who believed the violence was justified .
The poll of 1,000 people gave no margin of error .
According to another poll , Greeks see more in the violence than a simple reaction to the shooting .
Asked whether the riots were a social uprising , 60 percent responded yes .
Some 64 percent considered police were unprepared for the violence .
The poll of 520 people published in the Kathimerini newspaper gave a 4.5 percent margin of error . |

INITIAL results from the post- mortem on a 15-year-old Greek <m> boy </m> whose killing by police sparked five days of rioting show Alexandros Grigoropoulos died from a bullet ricochet .
According to forensic doctors and independent experts hired by the Grigoropoulos family , the bullet `` is a bit deformed , which showed the bullet touched a hard surface '' before entering the boy 's chest , court sources said last night .
The news came as two police officers charged over the shooting prepared to go before a magistrate and riot police fired teargas at thousands of demonstrators advancing on the national parliament building in Athens .
`` Now that we have these conclusions , which are in line with what my clients had indicated , they will give their statements to the judge , '' said Alexis Kouyias , the lawyer for policemen Epaminondas Korkoneas and Vassilis Saraliotis .
Amid anger towards the police compounded by the unpopularity of the Government of Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis , Greece is still awaiting a final ballistics report expected to shed light on Mr Korkoneas 's statement that the bullet bounced up off a pavement after he had fired warning shots to disperse a mob .
Alexandros was allegedly among a group of 30 youths that had thrown stones at the squad car in the Exarchia district of Athens , which is known as a stronghold of political radicals .
Riot police fired teargas at youths throwing molotov cocktails outside parliament last night , as a general strike paralysed Greece and raised pressure on a fragile Government reeling from four days of riots sparked by the police shooting .
The clashes escalated into running battles through the city centre , with riot police firing volleys of teargas at masked youths pelting them with rocks , bottles and blocks of marble smashed from the Athens metro station entrance .
The youths smashed windows newly replaced after four days of the worst riots Greece has seen in decades .
More than 10,000 people had been marching through central Athens to protest the conservative Government 's economic policies in a general strike that has shut down schools , public services and hospitals and grounded flights .
Although the strike and demonstrations had been scheduled long before the riots broke out , they have taken on the added form of protest against the Government 's handling of the riots . |
