I could swear we used to have a thread on this. Unfortunately, like all my terrible new threads, this one isn't exactly on point. At this point the travails of Greece are quite old and not worthy of 'new' news, but I thought this story a bit interesting.

If you caught it, an anti-fascist musician was killed by a man associated with the Golden Dawn Party in Greece. As a result, parliamentarians of the Golden Dawn have been arrested. This NYT article seems to have skipped over the 'why' other than belonging to the same party as the offender: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/29/world/europe/greece-cracks-down-on-golden-dawn-with-arrests.html?_r=0

Unless there is some sort of criminal conspiracy, (and I may be jumping the gun) I'm guessing inciting racial hatred or some other such nonsense. I patiently await an update to this story. If it goes as I hope, I believe we may establish an international basis to charge all Giants fans for the recent death of a Dodgers fans at the hands of their fellow traveler.http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/story/2013-09-26/dodger-fan-stabbed-death-giants-att-park-san-francisco
