Wow, that are some pictures. I just scanned through German online magazines (both traditionally liberal or left) and it was interesting to see how different their description of what happened is from yours. Esspecially "Der Spiegel" wrote more along the lines of: the absurdity of what happened blah blah throwing garbage on the Christmas tree... burning it down...ah yes, well and a kid died... blah blitty blah..." Disgusting.
Die ZEIT however did better. I don´t know how well your German still is, but you can look for it here: http://www.zeit.de/2008/52/Griechenland At least they acknowledge where the blame lies.
Thanks for the pictures and the different perspective.
