On this day two years ago, December 6, 2018, we reported from Athens, Greece as heavy clashes occurred between thousands of police and black-clad protesters took place on the 10-year anniversary of 15-year-old Alexis Grigoropoulos being killed by Greek police in #Exarcheia.
The 2008 police killing of Alexis Grigoropoulos sparked a massive insurrectionary revolt in #Athens with weeks of riots that were the largest in Europe since 1968.

Every December 6, Alexis has been commemorated with a revolting spirit. [Article from 2018]

Epamidondas Korkoneas, the ex-special police guard of the Greek police who killed 15 y/o #AlexisGrigoropoulos had his life sentence overturned in July 2019.

Korkoneas was released from prison shortly after. #6dGR unicornriot.ninja/2019/life-sent…
This year, masses of Greek police are blocking access points to reach the monument of #AlexisGrigoropoulos as well as other installations in #Athens.

Journalists & demonstrators alike are not allowed near site as police block commemoration event.

Minneapolis - Around 1:45 pm as pro-Palestine demonstrators held a 'die-in' at Lyndale/Hennepin, an alleged counter-protester drove into the crowd, possibly firing a a gun or firecracker while driving away.

Our drone footage paired w/ audio from on the ground shows the incident:
There were about 1000-2000 people at the rally before this happened. Chants heard included "Free Palestine", and "Up with Palestine, down with occupation", calling an end to the Israeli occupation and "genocide" of the Palestinian people.
A large diverse crowd standing by a Minneapolis intersection holding various pro-Palestinian protest signs as well as Palestinian flags. Some are wearing kaffiyeh scarves.

Correction: the car incident in the first tweet took place around 3:45pm central time, we regret the error

6 yrs ago on Aug. 11, 2017, UVA & Charlottesville Police allowed 100s of neo-nazis with torches to trap & brutalize students holding an anti-racist rally.

It was a prelude to the #UniteTheRight rally which killed local activist Heather Heyer the next day: https://t.co/MaT8Z5p7psunicornriot.ninja/2017/white-sup…
The premeditated attack at UVA was planned over Discord chats obtained & leaked by Unicorn Riot.

Message logs proved various "alt-right" groups and leaders sought violence to engage in racial intimidation & usher in a genocidal fascist street movement: https://t.co/cgfSJvfCBrunicornriot.ninja/2017/charlotte…
Discord chats & texts/emails divulged in court showed wannabe-fuhrers like Richard Spencer, Matt Heimbach, Nate Damigo & Brad Griffin helped incite the mob - this evidence was part of a suit that hit them w/ millions in damages for civil rights violations: unicornriot.ninja/2021/jury-26m-…

Prior to a planned "March For the Forest" at Gresham Park in DeKalb County, GA, police in tactical gear are seen walking on the bridge over Intrenchment Creek on Constitution Ave, with one officer carrying a black equipment case.

Wednesday is the 5th day of the 6th 'Week of Action' in Atlanta, GA organized by a myriad of Atlantans and their supporters who have been working to protect the forest and its neighbors from the Atlanta Police Foundation's construction of 'Cop City' for over two years.
