Erawamai, this is much like the argument i usually have with comrade_nathan whenever there is protestor violence. He always chooses to claim that it is only a few who cause the violence, and the rest are innocent... I hold the view that as you are there supporting the actions of the violent people, and not condemning them, then you are just like them.
I hold that for this situation too. I imagine alot of people there were just australians who felt bad about what had happened to those lifesavers and wanted to march, then there were others who felt the need to get violent. However in my opinion they are all equally guilty.

Someone said they fail to see how people would stop going to cronulla beach because of lebs and I am showing that they have.erawamai said:
Yes aussie mob violence is different. If the lebs didn't provoke it then it wouldn't have happened.

If they weren't then they are stupid for going anywhere near cronulla today. They knew what was going on it was all over the news all week they should of stayed away.Not-That-Bright said:
And if they weren't happy with avoiding cronulla today they should of taken it up with the troublemakers of middle eastern appearance who wreck it for the good ones.
In this case yes mob violence is acceptable.erawamai said:

Cronulla mob attacks beachgoers
5:58 PM December 11
New South Wales Police say several people of Middle Eastern appearance have been attacked by a mob at Sydney's Cronulla Beach.
Thousands of people have gathered at the beach in response to calls to retaliate for the bashing of two lifeguards a week ago.
Assistant Commissioner Mark Goodwin says several people have been the victims of racial attacks.
"In terms of crowd swells against some people of Arabic extraction ... some of those people that have been targeted have been Australian-born people that attend this beach in a quiet and relaxing manner," he said.
Six people have been taken into custody and four have been charged.
Assistant Commissioner Goodwin says police are in control of the situation.
"I'm satisfied that we have the police resources that we require and that they are being tactically deployed at my direction," he said.
Ambulance attacked
The Ambulance Service of NSW says one of its vehicles has been attacked.
One ambulance officer has been hit over the head with a glass bottle and another on board has received lacerations.
The ambulance had been transporting six injured people.
Of those, one has been taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition and the rest are being treated for minor injuries in a secure location away from the crowds.
Police say two bottle shops have been closed and a nearby club has agreed not to let any more people in.
Earlier in the day the atmosphere had been party-like despite the large crowd, which some estimates say numbers 5,000 people.
That changed when a man of Middle Eastern appearance was chased into a hotel bistro.
Within a minute the hotel was surrounded by several thousand people screaming and chanting.
About a half an hour later a fight broke out across the road and police led away a man with a shirt over his head as the crowd lobbed beer cans at him.

What if they had nothing to do with the previous weeks voilence? What if they were a Japanese guy who didn't shave in the last week? Do you recon he would have gotten out alive?iamsickofyear12 said:
All I saw on the TV was lots of drunk white Australian's having a party and throwing lots of stuff at ambulances and chasing anyone thats remotely looked not white even if they were currently doing nothing. All it looked like was a pack of wild animals.
I think house prices in the shire just went down about 20%sick12 said:
Then I assume that mob violence can be used to counter todays mob violence?

Yes...protest is fine as long as its not voilent. Voilence protest, in whatever form, is never effective. It just makes the protestors look like a uncouth louts who think people will take them seriously when they act like a pack of wild animals.Not-That-Bright said:

Ok, cool then, I'm all with you.
I actually worry about these protests, because of what is probably to come..
I mean how are we to condem the actions of lebanese people, when some white australians get hurt and a highly-supported group of 5000 white australians comes to bash them?
