Greek thugs are habitually violent. A video showed a thug hitting someone with an iron bar, and this inspired a peaceful protest in which a few violently attacked some thugs.

The person attacked by the thug was reportedly caught violating Covid-19 precautions. It is important to enforce them, but brutality is not justified.

I can understand the pent-up anger that the protesters feel, but sinking to the thugs' level will only undermine their cause. Protest movements must learn the discipline of nonviolence.
