Demonstration in Athens...Police kill a 15 years school boy

2009.01.13





I shot enough so i don't want to add my words here.
I propose to build your own opinion no matter how far are you from here. History repeats itself........
I propose to you the film (la haine) to learn. This is the sentence that i choose for my post and the song of the film by bob Marley.

"It's about a guy falling off the fiftieth floor of a skyscraper
On his way down past each floor,
he kept saying to reassure himself
So far so good...
So far so good...
How you fall is not important.
It's the landing that counts."
the same...

It's about a society in free fall
As it goes down it keeps telling itself...."
So far so good...
So far so good...
How you fall is not important.
.................................................................................................................
Burning And Looting tonight

This morning I woke up in a curfew;
O god, I was a prisoner, too - yeah!
Could not recognize the faces standing over me;
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality. eh!

How many rivers do we have to cross,
Before we can talk to the boss? eh!
All that we got, it seems we have lost;
We must have really paid the cost.

(thats why we gonna be)
Burnin and a-lootin tonight;
(say we gonna burn and loot)
Burnin and a-lootin tonight;
(one more thing)
Burnin all pollution tonight;
(oh, yeah, yeah)
Burnin all illusion tonight.

Oh, stop them!

Give me the food and let me grow;
Let the roots man take a blow.
All them drugs gonna make you slow now;
Its not the music of the ghetto. eh!

Weeping and a-wailin tonight;
(who can stop the tears? )
Weeping and a-wailin tonight;
(weve been suffering these long, long-a years!)
Weeping and a-wailin tonight
(will you say cheer? )
Weeping and a-wailin tonight
(but where? )

Give me the food and let me grow;
Let the roots man take a blow.
I must say: all them - all them drugs gonna make you slow;
Its not the music of the ghetto.

We gonna be burning and a-looting tonight;
(to survive, yeah!)
Burning and a-looting tonight;
(save your baby lives)
Burning all pollution tonight;
(pollution, yeah, yeah!)
Burning all illusion tonight
(lord-a, lord-a, lord-a, lord!)

Burning and a-looting tonight;
Burning and a-looting tonight;
Burning all pollution tonight.

"mikro" I don't know if it is great...
Your pics are great indeed but... the theme it isn't...
I wish those unfortunate occurrences stop someday and the wold will be a prefect place to live...but we should do something about that, right?...
Well done Mr SaSa! Bravo!

I'm so sorry to hear that..

Photos are stunning, maybe it's a tactless comment, but I like the way that you show us this agression on the second photo. My favourite is the last one.
