Well I'm sure possibly some gypo's, etc are involved... perhaps a better description would be middle-eastern muslim gangs?
Nah, not all were muslims. I even heard of an Italian guy being arrestedNot-That-Bright said:Well I'm sure possibly some gypo's, etc are involved... perhaps a better description would be middle-eastern muslim gangs?
umm, that may be a tad more correct, but then you would be removing the fact that there are also non muslim middle eastern gangs that take advantage of looking "muslim"Not-That-Bright said:Well I'm sure possibly some gypo's, etc are involved... perhaps a better description would be middle-eastern muslim gangs?
I'm starting to think that might not be such a bad idea. Block the roads and don't let these lebs in.White Rabbit said:They hardly stand at the Bridge and turn back anyone without blonde hair and blue eyes. I've seen people wrongly harrassed, but at the same time I've been to heaps of events in the shire that were multicultural and weren't hinered by racists.
How about you stop being a PC pedantic arse. Want to know why it escelated so far? Because morons stand back and in their PC goodness refuse to ackowledge the problem and spend 5 years debating names rather than addressing the real problem.Jordan.J said:Nah, not all were muslims.

How about "Mediteranean/Middle Eastern" gangs or MME

I was refering to a guy that got arrested at Brighton on Sunday night, thats what the police guy was saying on 'Today' the morning afterHenry_Kissinger said:fuck off, this has nothing to do with real wogs "mediterrenean"
p.s: the italian guy was getting bashed, people thought he was leb
what about just saying "people who have been harassing us in our town get out"?Not-That-Bright said:I suppose every single incident of lebanese violence has been provoked.
Saying 'Lebs get out!' or whatever, was obviously intended to mean the lebs that had been harassing them in their town. Which is a fair call... it's very hard to be specific and say 'People who identify with lebanese ethnicity and who have been harassing us in our town - get out', so they just call them 'lebs', because that's what they're known as.
your half rightWhite Rabbit said:That there is real racial tension that needs addressing. That you can not bury your head in the sand and say that gang warfare has nothing to do with race. Baseline Australian laws and culture conflicts with the baseline beliefs and values of many Lebanese youths and the tension it is causing will not dispate if we ignore it. That these bloody posses of Lebs continue to harras others based purley on race - people are verbally attacked, spat on, bashed, raped and killed because they are not Lebanese. How about we leave the PC shit at the door and figure out how you can get to vastly different cultures to live and work together without killing each other.
It would have helped if the mob had not used the same tactics as the leb gangs (violence... intimidation...racism) in order to get their point accross.White Rabbit said:That these bloody posses of Lebs continue to harras others based purley on race - people are verbally attacked, spat on, bashed, raped and killed because they are not Lebanese.

Jordan.J said:your half right
The other half is that there is also a racial issue on the other side.
Last Sunday showed this
