Not a welcome result, no. But bear in mind that those who perpetrate the retaliative sweep (the cops and authorities) are entirely responsible for their own acts and their own tactics. Let's not fall too easily in the pitfall of accusing the mollie-throwers of causing yet another police-sweep. Although I do not read greek and have little contacts with greek comrades, I can imagine quite easily that those throwing the mollies actually hope that the stupid police-sweep will help people to realize that next time, they'd better participate in the pro-active actions against cops than just stand and watch (not saying this is my personal opinion, but I'm sure there are people wanting to defend that stand). Actually I even believe that some of the victims of that retaliative police-sweep don't care so much about the sweep, because it was such a joy seeing the copshop attacked.
welcome to reality then
