#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #GREECE #ANARCHISM #News #Journal #Update - (en) Greece, vogliamo tutto: On the state murder of 18-year-old Nikos Sampanis [machine translation]

On Saturday, October 24, three young Roma, aged 15, 16 and 18, who were riding in

a car in the area of Egaleo, refused to stop at a DIAS police checkpoint. During
the chase, the police inform the control center that "young gypsies" are in the
vehicle and violate the repeated categorical orders of the control center to
stop. The chase covers about 13 kilometers to Perama where the chased car is
trapped by a passing bus. The seven DIAS police officers leave the cameras and
start shooting at the three unarmed minors, emptying their weapons (38 bullets
were collected in total), instantly killing the 18-year-old co-driver Nikos
Sampanis with a penetrating wound in the chest and abdomen, seriously injuring
the 16 seat, while the 15-year-old driver managed to escape while reloading their
weapons to kill him as they also shot at him while a pedestrian was running to
escape. Bullets were fired at neighboring cars and walls as the wild west pistol
was fired inside a residential area.

 From the very beginning, the systemic media begin the well-known role of
misinformation and reproduction of the police version with a multitude of lies,
inaccuracies, and demonization of young people. They host police from morning
till night trying to convince us that the car turned into a weapon that tried to
kill them, they falsely talk about seven injured cops, that adrenaline makes them
more resilient, that high speeds make them do not listen to any order to the
contrary, that they allegedly did not know that they were chasing Roma, that they
are good children fighting for a living. At the same time, they outline a
criminal profile of the victims, reproduce racist stereotypes, increase the age
of the murdered person from 18 to 20, and transform him from a co-driver to a driver.

In response to the incident, Roma groups stopped traffic on the Corinth-Patras,
Corinth-Kalamata and other highways, burning tires and throwing stones at police.
At the same time, the march that took place in the center of Athens on October 25
was unprovoked by the MAT with chemicals and wood, with three protesters ending
up at the KAT with broken arms and beaten heads. Two more marches after calls by
anarchists in Egaleo and Perama took place under a suffocating police presence.

The incident does not come like lightning in the air. Incidents with murder
chases and pistols in the city are constantly increasing. A month ago there was a
fatal car accident in Egaleo caused by DIAS chasing a motorcyclist. In Vathis
Square in early October, a DIAS police officer shot and injured a driver of a
vehicle because he did not stop checking, an immigrant peddler was killed trying
to escape from his pursuers. We do not fall from the clouds, the uniformed
minions of the state are constantly indulging in tortures and murders like those
of Eboukas in AT. Omonia, the assistance in the murder of Zackie, the murder of
Alexandros Grigoropoulos, the imprisoned Katerina Gulionis in transfer, Elias
Kareli in prison and many others.

To all this we must add the timeless gypsy phobia of Greek society and the
structural racism of the Greek state towards the Roma. This racism is so
entrenched in language (see gypsy characterization) but also in accepted
stereotypes and false information about the Roma way of life ( school, are
beggars, have a crime gene, etc.). Of course, the negative attitude towards the
Roma is not exclusively a Greek phenomenon, but a historical event throughout
Europe. Racism against the Roma is directly linked to the threat they pose to the
notion of the nation. Nomadic people who for centuries were not compatible with
the nation-state building processes, has been used as a counterweight to the
creation of the national "we". Somehow, in Greece as well, the identity and way
of life of the Roma was identified by the key rulers of the national conscience
with delinquency and the "other". Over the years, however, a demonized social
group becomes captive to its characterization and fulfills the self-fulfilling
prophecy that has been sewn to it. Poverty, racism and marginalization lead to
delinquent behavior and not the other way around. And this is not the first time
that the Greek state has killed Roma. Over the years, however, a demonized social

The second minister of the government is Adonis Georgiadis, who as the
vice-president of ND justifies the cops in advance, stating that "the defense of
the police is absolutely justified", leaving no room for misinterpretation. We do
not forget that the previous party to which he owed this particular garbage had
in his program the change of the regulation of the use of weapons by the cops so
that they could kill people who do not stop checking or who escape from prisons
and detention centers. In other words, he dreams of a police by US standards with
mass murders of non-white poor and oppressed. We do not forget that the previous

dreams of a police force by US standards with mass murders of non-white poor and
oppressed people.

In the aftermath of the assassination of Nikos Sampanis, the state announces
further tightening of police control and targets the Roma community, making it
clear that the killings of Roma, immigrants and people in general from below are
an acceptable possibility of the political program of "order and security".».
Thus, the criminal upgrade of the crime of theft into a crime is announced when
it is carried out repeatedly (photographing the Roma communities but also those
who do not adapt to the national capitalist normality) and there is a special
reference to zero tolerance in "high crime areas and groups". cameras in the
equipment of patrols, bicyclists and MATs and night patrols are increasing more.
In other words, another surveillance measure, control and repression. The
introduction of the concepts of "high crime areas and groups" creates a new model
of policing which refers to racist practices, race profiling, and the creation of
ghettos assisted by new digital technologies of predictive policing. The
international example from Europe and the USA is a picture of the dystopian
future of absolute supervision reserved for us by the state.

The story of the lack of education and the need to democratize the cops, which is
constantly being advocated by the left, must stop. In this case, the leader was
an officer, ie it was the best trained police team that can move on the street.
Their murderous actions are the result of political decisions, central government
choices, and entrenched policing rather than reckless practices. The number of
incidents, the political coverage, but also the direction of the new measures
confirm this. The police are becoming an even more violent and murderous
organization, covering the political leadership and empowering it through a
framework of rules, practices, laws, and technologies.

It must be understood that the issues of "crime" have nothing to do with "lack"
of policing as it is more suffocating than ever. As a larger part of the
population is marginalized and impoverished, excluded from access to work and
impoverished, it makes sense to resort to illegal means to make a living. The
intensity of the repression and the doctrine of zero tolerance will only be
achieved by more dead immigrants, Roma and generally oppressed on the altar of
voting by the reservoir of the fascist part of society. Nowhere and in no
historical context have social inequalities been mitigated by more repression.

We must realize that the state and capitalism have nothing to offer but
exploitation, impoverishment, repression and death. The shootings in Psachno are
no exception and are only a part of the death policy pursued by the state. The
killings of migrants at the border, their abductions and their throwing into the
sea, are not unrelated to the killings of 16-year-old Roma, immigrants, anarchist
students, street deliverers, and others that the state counts as unwanted and
leftovers. They are not unrelated to the employer killings, such as the one in
the COSCO scam, which have also increased in recent times. The more state
barbarism is consolidated, the more resistance is not erected, the more the
categories of the undesirable will increase along with the losses of people in
our class. The only ones who can put a brake on state barbarism are the oppressed
themselves. When they realize their common position and are not misled by the
tales of national consciousness and unity. When they move organized and
determined for their right. The uprising events of December '08 with the injured
cops and the angry demonstration of N. Smyrni with the image of the injured DELTA
motorcyclist put the uniformed murderers in their place for a while. But sporadic
resistance must be turned into a conscious organization and struggle if we are to
at some point get rid of the oppression, humiliation and death policy that state
and capitalism reserve for us.

Accidents at work and bullets in the air, we live the war every day here

No one and no one alone in the face of police barbarism

Cops-Fascists-Murderers

Resistance and struggle for anarchy and communism
