The protests started in Greece over the austerity measurements are spreading.
In Dublin Ireland riots broke out near banks were people were protesting. Below is a clip from coverage of it.

Also in Romania protests happened, but from a completely different demographic. Cuts are being made to pensioners and it was retired people who were doing the protests. These are rebellious young people, but grandparents doing the protests. Here is footage from those protests.

As other countries in Europe began making severe cutbacks to avoid a meltdown like Greece you can expect more. America is still on a spending spree (including bailing out Greece and other countries) and the difficult cutbacks haven't begun, but it's only a matter of time before cutbacks must be made - and all those dependent on the system will be directly affected. And there will be those who will protest these required cutbacks.
