well just some quick background info on Cronulla and its attitude, its not without reason too. For the last 10 years the area has seen a large rise in lebanese and other middle eastern peoples in the area, coming from other parts of sydney to go to the beach, though with these people some few undesirables came as well, that being the gangs. so over the last 10 years theyve seen beatings and such by these gangs, and yet the locals never really united against them, the police never did much either. It had recently gotten so bad that i even refused to go to the beach there for the last 2 years, ive had several mates actually been victims of these gangs as well.

anyhow, the straw that broke the camels back was the beating of some lifeguards, and the polices inability to act, then through the week text mesages were sent calling for all locals to come join in "leb bashing day" Now my guess is most people didnt know a thng about it, but the media being who they are had to show the rest of the country the text message, and basically invited the rest to happen. It then snowballed into what you read, and my guess is this is FAR from over. If i know these gangs, they wont give up, i expect to see some horrific retaliations in the coming days, and to be honest im quite worried as to how much this could blow out. Especially with the media blowing things out even more
