Police fire rubber bullets after huge Madrid protest - Yahoo! News Canada

Police fire rubber bullets after huge Madrid protest - Yahoo! News Canada: "Spanish police fired rubber bullets and charged protestors in central Madrid early Friday at the end of a huge demonstration against economic crisis measures.
The protest was one of over 80 demonstrations called by unions across the county against civil servant pay cuts and tax hikes which drew tens of thousands of people, including police and firefighters wearing their helmets."

I find this so depressing.

The protesters or the police firing rubber bullets?

Oh, just that despite the country being bankrupt, its people don't seem to care. They keep agitating for more bad policies. Same thing happened in Greece, too.


But maybe I'm overestimating the political support these people have based on these rallies.
