Right Wing Rioting Spreads Around Sydney

SYDNEY exploded into a second night of race warfare as tensions between rival ethnic gangs escalated into a series of late-night revenge attacks on white Australian males across the south and west of the city.

Shots were fired as groups of young men from western Sydney picked fights in and near Cronulla, the scene of Sunday's ugly mob attacks on anyone of Middle Eastern appearance.

Police made at least six arrests, and a number of people were injured, amid reports of local residents being targeted by the gangs in assaults from Cronulla to Punchbowl, in the west.

The violence has been fuelled by a series of text messages urging revenge attacks for the assaults on men and women of Middle Eastern appearance by a 5000-strong crowd at Cronulla on Sunday.

A separate series of text messages call on locals to defend Sydney's suburban beach strip.

The new wave of violence broke out as police promised to hunt down suspected right-wing instigators of the violent outbreaks and debate raged over the reasons behind the vicious assaults.

John Howard was forced to reject suggestions that government warnings about homegrown terrorists fuelled the rampage, as academics blamed talkback radio and the influence of Pauline Hanson's One Nation.

Police, who set up a 24-hour command unit ready to deploy tactical units in force to any troublespot, fear both sides are preparing for a massive confrontation this Sunday, with Cronulla and Maroubra, in the city's south and east, considered flashpoints.

As white supremacist groups admitted involvement, political, religious and community leaders united in condemnation of Sunday's violence.

Of the 14 men and two youths arrested on Sunday on a total of 42 charges -- including assault, affray, malicious damage and possession of a knife -- 12 were from Sutherland Shire, one was from Bondi Junction and three were from southwest and western Sydney suburbs. A further three men face charges of attempted murder after allegedly stabbing a 20-year-old man.

Far-Right groups accused of links to neo-Nazis have admitted mobilising more than 100 people to join the mob of drunken people on the rampage at Cronulla.

Three ultra right-wing organisations -- Australia First, the Patriotic Youth League and the Newcastle-based skinhead group Blood and Honour -- handed out pamphlets at the rally.

This is right in line with the way I picture Ausies. Did they lose a rugby match?

"handed out pamphlets at the rally."???

Say what you want about the tenants of National Socialism but at least it is an ethos.

No one tell the little terrorist apologist that Sydney isn't in the USA.
It will be our little joke.

Ol' Vile Man approves of rioting against Conservative Speakers in the USA yet disapproves of rioting in Aussie Land against terrorist supporters.
Make up your mind.

Personally, I disapprove of rioting.

Y'all ever notice just how insane and nasty the far lefties get when they 'lose' a big political battle or get 'bad' news?

Happens ever time on TT.

Their Hero of the hour, the Crips leader, gets put to death for killing at least four people and they go nuts with nastyness.

Someone's 'values' are a little skewwed.

V would call them demonstrators if they weren't white. No one supports mob mantality but it's funny how the left blwos which ever way the wind blows depending on who's doing the rioting.

Calling all Arabs "terrorist supporters" is like calling all anglos "christian extremistist supporters".

I chose to remain unaffilitated.

I might be white and I did have a beer with lunch, but you wacko conservative Christians leave me out of your world of hate and ignorance.

I bet those pamphlets were pretty amusing.

The plain fact of the matter is few people outside of Aussie Land care.

It's not like it's France where the goverment will applease the rioters.

See all that TV footage of the Aussie police kicking ass with the nightsticks against the 'white' rioters?

The Aussies will take care of this problem. ASAP.

The French police are head-busters, Muttsky.

I ain't talkin' about your surrender fantasies.

The French treatment of "inferiors" in their former colonies was very hardline.

Vietnam, Algeria, etc
