I don't agree with Panzer's opinion on this, but this is unfair.
Greece is disproportionally burdened by illegal immigrants compared to most other European countries. It's not surprising Golden Dawn attracts votes. They're violent, but so are a lot of leftist groups in Greece.
Of course the arrests and prosecutions have been a long time coming. There's the risk that they'll successfully paint themselves as martyrs - but that risk is not nearly as serious as the danger of letting these thugs break the law at will.
