The possibility that two Golden Dawn members shot dead outside party offices in northern Athens on Friday were killed by members urban guerrillas is being treated by the police as the most likely explanation for the attack.

The raid left two men, 22-year-old Manolis Kapelonis and 26-year-old Giorgos Fountoulis, dead and a third, 29-year-old Alexandros Gerontas, fighting for his life. Gerontas was hit by a bullet and underwent a splenectomy on Friday night. He was then transferred to an intensive-care unit, where his condition was described as critical.

The three men were shot outside Golden Dawn’s offices in Neo Iraklio. Police said that two men wearing crash helmets were involved in the attack, although it is possible that there were accomplices at the scene. The two men got off a motorbike they parked across the street from the neo-Nazi party’s offices, walked up to the victims and one of the pair opened fire. Twelve bullet casings were recovered from the scene. It is believed that the assailants used a Zastava semi-automatic revolver.

Kapelonis and Fountoulis were struck in the chest and head, suggesting that the gunman intended to kill. Police sources said that the only terrorist group that had committed these kinds of murders in Greece recently was the Sect of Revolutionaries, which claimed responsibility for killing policeman Nektarios Savvas in June 2009 and journalist Sokratis Giolias in July 2010.

1. We need to start considering Neo-Nazis in the USA as terrorists, too

There is nothing good that can come from facism/Neo-nazism, which is the equivalent of a jihad against peace and equality in the world.

2. That's a shame.

3. It doesn't seem like this Sect of Revolutionaries has been active since 2009-10

There was a crackdown in 2010 when the government rounded up members of two other left-wing terrorist groups, and though the Sect of Revolutionaries wasn't affected, it doesn't look like they've done anything since then besides make threats that never amount to anything.

It really looks like the Greek police are making random guesses at this point.

6. How do gorillas even survive in an urban environment?

Oh, wait.

7. Jake and Elwood Blues?

They really hated nazi's

8. See what austerity has brought to Greece.

Nazi group murders, retaliation murders. Nazi group actually gaining popularity when they destroyed so much of Greece in WWII. This is so much more preferable than prosecuting criminal politicians and banksters who allowed the Greek government to be raided.

This murder and Nazi popularity is so much better than declaring the Greek debt one big fraud against the Greek people and then prosecuting the criminals who created the fraudulent debt.

Better that Greece force poverty onto most of its citizens and create a foothold for Nazis than to prosecute the politicians who made illegal, fraudulent deals with banksters and declare the debt obligation one big fraud.

9. Yeah,

that sums it up quite well!

10. Declaring their debt a fraud does not solve their problem

They spend more money than they have. The simple of fact of the matter is that they need other people's money to fund basic government services.
