<_<

I guess I had higher expectations of Australia.

Any one see this event? Any one get knocked around in it?

Yeah it was a bunch of Nazis inciting a bunch of idiots but unfortunately it was pretty serious.

Prussian Blue even wrote a song about it.

Look up Redfern and Macquarie Fields riots as well, they are interesting events

Why is this in history forum? It happened a few months ago.

i&#39;d look it up myself but don&#39;t have much time, cccp if you do a search for it on revleft there were a coupla threads going at the time abt it :)

Me and a friend went to cronulla to bodyboard during the initial riots, we have some footage on some pc ( not sure which one ) of two arab descent looking men beating up a young woman walking her dog.

i had friends that were there during it who i spoke to afterwards. sounded like mild pogroms, except the targets of the persecution (Muslims, Arabs) would regroup in their barrios and sometimes fight back. this is the war on terror. amazing similar riots havent broken out in the usa in some ways

Thanks for the links Cat, but what is all this &#39;Arabs are beating people up&#39; stuff? And one else see this? What the hell is up with this Anti-Arab crap?
