"an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind"

I think that it's horrible that an enforcer of the law would ever shoot a child for a minor offense. That's not to say that the boy who was shot is innocent. It was stupid of him to throw rocks at a police car, especially if the policeman was in the car, but he did not deserve to die. I don't think that the public reacted well. The riots are not fixing any problems, they are only creating more animosity. I believe that "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" as Ghandi once said. Those citizens of Athens have a right to be angry with their government and they have a right to fight for what they want, but no one has the right to take away another person's life. They are also destroying their own city and after the riots are over they still have to live in the mess that they created.
