Raw police brutality against armless protesters in the historical center of Athens Greece, 29 June 2011
from a witness in Syntagma Square ”Police makes massive attacks to anybody walking at Syntagma Square and streets beside.
They decided to suppress protests using any kind of violence, they kick kids, women, old people & tourists eating at the restaurant where we have been together.
More than 200 people stay with broken legs & hands and there are not ambulances to transfer them to the hospitals.
They throw tear gas inside the metro station & inside coffee shops & restaurants, people they get out with panic and, then, police start kicking them violently” (source)
but if u search the web and you will find dozens of videos, pictures and testimonies, though mostly in Greek.

..and gay men are bloodthirsty animals!
Once upon a time, not so long ago, in the land of liberty and opportunity...
“Boys Beware“, a chronicle of the various ways gay men of 1961 stalked their young prey, commissioned by the Inglewood Police Department, California (!)… a film shown to all 60′s pubescent boys in classrooms across USA.
This ”educational film” warns the little American boys that the homosexual can be anywhere, and he just isn’t happy unless he’s sodomizing a naive teenager. Boys Bewere was also to help those young, tender, blond boys recognize the dangers of the mentally ill homosexual, and points out some warning signs. (full film here)
A Girls Bewere version was available too..
