Crime has increased in Athens and police are testing a new plan to combat it, asking officers to analyze crimes in their precincts on a daily basis, then adapt their tactics accordingly. Statistics for the first half of the year show crime up nationwide, with Attica state being the most crime ridden. Forty-three percent of thefts and 39 percent of robberies in Attica take place in Athens, with the highest concentration of thefts occurring in the central Athens areas of Acropolis, Syntagma, Omonia and Exarchia. In the Acropolis precinct, some 56 percent of thefts are the stealing of handbags and wallets, with about a third of these crimes occurring on Ermou Street, the pedestrian shopping area.

Every day without exception, it becomes evident from the arrests by the Athens police, which I may add has a better record than the NYPD, that the cause of the increased crime in Athens, is almost 90% due to the influx of illegal(for the most part) Albanians. You can thank our country for making it possible for Albanian drug dealers and other violent criminals to flood Greece and other Balkan countries with the lowest rate of crime before then, by intervening in Kosovo to save them. Now they are free to terrorize the Balkans. Kosovo is now also the source of illegal arms to the Balkans provided by the Muslim terrorist groups that poured into the area. The US made that possible by driving the Christian Serbs out of their country. Well done America! Another succesful intervention!
