(Fox News) - Greek authorities are asking their counterparts in Israel and Germany for emergency supplies of tear gas after 11 days of rioting. The violence began after a teenager was fatally shot by a police officer earlier this month and is being fueled by public anger at government scandals and a slowing economy.
The London Times reports Greek riot police have used so much tear gas during the clashes that they are running out; and in some cases are being forced to use old canisters of gas.
One demonstrator says, "We found a tear gas canister dated from 1981. The old chemicals make us sick. People have fainted and have trouble breathing."
Athos soviets instigate riots to avenge Ukraine velvet. Greece needs a neutralizing junta like during Crimea to prevent soviet access to the straits.
