Alexander's death appears to have been a catalyst, unleashing widespread Greek anger towards many issues - police mistreatment of protesters, unwelcome education reforms, economic stagnation, government corruption and more. This has been widespread in other parts of the world causing worldwide attention.

This stream of large scale protest has expanded in other parts of the world too.  It has been asserted by many analysts and political thinkers as a possible prelude to an even wider scale series of social disruptions on a global scale. One of the most significant riots was in Istanbul, Turkey, where a group of young students rioted with the message, "Alexander is our brother", while they threw red paint bombs on the Greek Council. Perhaps this act on the part of these young students represents the birth of a strong resistance movement demanding true democracy, freedom of speech and protection of human rights in a country that despite its road to modernization is still accountable to its military.

I look at the anger of all these young people and I see it all being expressed in one direction, against the police.   This fact, in my view, detracts the search for the true causes of the problems in Greece and puts the blame on the wrong people for the present state of the Greek society. Furthermore, I observe the absence of an influential grassroots movement, a government watchdog or someone that will be in the place to represent the citizen's voices and organize them in a constructive way to target reform rather than cause chaos.   It seems like someone has put blinders on these people directing their anger in a targeted group of fellow citizens, the policemen, which are nothing more than "tools" of the System. The System- or  those in power- are the ones accountable for the state of the education, the state and its institutions as well as every other aspect of the society.  But how is possible to reach the true root of the problem and provide true solutions if we do not target the true reasons for this mess?
