September 10, tens of thousands of Greek protestors turned violent when they confronted Prime Minister George Papandreou at the Thessaloniki Trade Fair.

Greek police say the protestors are armed with sticks, stones and guns.  Six thousand police are guarding the Greek city of Thessaloniki.

There have been several reports out of Europe that say Greece has no choice but to default on its debts, this is because the latest bailout loan is still awaiting final approval.  If Greece doesn’t get the loan within days it will default.
