Young Australians call a spade a spade

(“Shire” refers to Sydney’s Sutherland shire, which, oddly enough, is in Sydney’s South)

They’re itching for a blue [fight], these Shire boys. For Shaun Donohoe it’s war, pure and simple - and it has been a long time coming. “It’s been brewing for years.” For another local, a teenager surveying the ocean outside North Cronulla Surf Lifesaving Club, it’s time for a showdown - though it’s not about race, he says, just manners. “They have no respect for anyone.” Angered by what they see as an aggressive invasion by youths of Middle Eastern background, these men say they have had enough. After a week that began with the assault of a lifeguard and was punctuated by another brawl and inflammatory rhetoric, the Shire boys are ready to rumble ...

Mr Donohoe, a chef, 24, takes it a step further. “They look down on our women,” he says. “They don’t really assimilate to our way of life. I’ve been at war with them for 10 years.” For him it all boils down to race and culture. But the suburb has never been a stranger to bouts of tension, whether ethnic differences were present or not.

Mark Goodwin, the assistant commissioner who has co-ordinated the police response, started surfing at the beach when he was 10. There has always been something to disagree about, he says, even if it was just surfers at odds over their stretch of ocean. “There’s been tension between locals and people who come from other suburbs for a long time over various issues,” he told the Herald. “We’re taking it extremely seriously but there needs to be some perspective.”

The Mayor of Sutherland, Kevin Schreiber, and the local federal MP, Bruce Baird, agree there have been minor issues in the past, but believe the present problems are of a different order. Mr Baird, who was born in Cronulla, says: “I haven’t seen the kind of problems we’ve got now.” The visitors are aggressive, and come armed with “anti-female attitudes”. Mr Schreiber attributes much of the problem to male aggression. “I think it’s boys being boys,” he says, adding that he understands local frustration.

This is a bit irrelevant to the post so I will put it in the Comments:

With admirable British perversity, the original Sutherland is of course in Scotland’s far North

The best media report I’ve seen is the following:

http://dailytelegraph.news.com.au/story/0,20281,17469247-5001022,00.html

A quote from the above:

“Surf Lifesaving Sydney rescue services manager Stephen Leahy said it was common for Middle Eastern men from western Sydney to taunt Cronulla surf lifesavers by stealing their equipment, making idle threats and kicking balls at them.”

Recent threats have not been so idle. Three surf lifesavers were told to get off the beach and then bashed - one was king hit and knocked unconscious.

Good on the local Aussies, though, for standing up to the thuggery. (The Lebanese Muslims are maybe trying the intimidation tactic too soon - remember the response when the Melbourne cameraman was bashed. There was a factory revolt where some of the attackers worked.)

As an activist against muslim imperialism I declare my solidarity with the brave young Australians who took own initiative in order to quell the Libanese Muslim terror. Like everywhere else muslims are establishing a foothold they will attempt to takeover by means of aggression and under the protection of the leftwing fools.

Currently I am living in the Netherlands where I escaped to as a Javanese-Balinese Hindu woman and activiste from Indonesia. Whlile Australians were brutally murdered by the muslim-barbarians on Bali I suffered a very great loss during the same muslim terrorist attack.

My aim is to unite all non-muslims worldwide in order to be able to counter muslim aggression. I came to to Europe only to learn that Europe is now turning into Eurabia.

To the Australian heroes of Sidney I send my respect. I would very much like to receive as much possible information on what really is going on, not the sweet stories of the political correct press agencies, so I can publish it on my site.

Dewi Sudarsono, thank you for your inspiring comment and for your work in trying to alert Europe to the mortal peril of allowing itself to be overrun by what are the inevitable consequences of excessive incompatible immigration.
