Our comrade Alexis, December belongs to you.
That’s why we, like rabid wolves, at dawn on December 8th, in Kefalas Street in Poligono, Athens, destroyed the motorbike of a well-known family of cops, giving a message to all state servants that we know what time they finish their service and where they are coming home from.
