Released Prisoner Calls For Overthrow Of Icelandic Government

This is just a small part of the protests going on Iceland over their faltering economy... they had a huge protest this weekend (Nov.21) where police threw tear gas and beat on protesters. Five were sent to the hospital.
Here you see a huge crowd protesting for the release of one of the protesters arrested by police. They're chanting "out with him (release him)" in Icelandic, and the police LET HIM OUT!

Then the crowd cheers and chants, "Ísland (Iceland)" over and over.
Then the guy, clad in all black with a face mask on, IN FRONT OF THE RIOT POLICE, says, he wants the people to use the energy they have that got him released TO OVERTHOW THE GOVERNMENT!  YouTube
