Things in Greece seem to be getting uglier as the police and fireman are now protesting outside government buildings over proposed cuts to their pay.
The interesting element of their protest is how they have a policeman and a fireman with a noose around their neck.
This non-verbal messaging tells you a lot. It's their way of saying that they perceive the actions of the government as violent and life threatening.
It foreshadows dark days ahead, since it's fairly logical to assume that this a preamble to potentially violent protest in the future. A 'hanging' is not the kind of message / image you send unless you are essentially laying down the gauntlet and letting the other side know that you feel as though your life is being threatened.
It's not hard to see the passive threat that lies therein, since anyone whose life is being threatened will engage in extreme behaviour to protect their lives.
Not a good sign when your police force, which is your last line of defence against the mob, is protesting you.
