Different? Both have racial motivations.

In both cases these are disadvantaged Muslim youths,
poorly educated, in a simmering pot of resentment.

This is just the beginning. Stay tuned.

Oz1...of the 3 twins.

Nothing to do with the fact that Muslim's look down
on the freedoms of our society? White chicks in Bikini's
are equated with infidel sluts in their minds and thus not
deserving of respect. Sure they love to look due to their
repressed upbringings, but view it as evil and immoral.

Religious differences have resulted in gang rapes. Given
that most Muslims are middle eastern, that makes it racial
doesn't it?

It's not really about racism, just a reaction to the behaviour of
these moslem blokes and their disrespect for the Oz women and beach
culture.

One responsible armed man can stand off a gang, or
defuse a volatile situation.

And one angry man with a gun can wreak havoc.


Particularly when you take the guns away from
responsible citizens.

An armed society is a polite society.

Well, sure, but in Australia the big riot was caused by
white people beating up anybody that thought might look
slightly woggish, including young women wearing head scarves.


This is just the beginning. Stay tuned.

Why do people gather in violent mobs? Because they're
unhappy. Whay are they unhappy? Is it because their lives
are getting better and they have bright hopes for the future?

The whole world is experiencing a decline in living
standards and masses of people are getting restless.
Meanwhile, petty demagogues use this a means of boosting
themselves into power, so they don't *want* to solve the
reasons for mass discontent even if they could.

You readers of history out there, does this sound familiar?

The 'Shire' where this happened is a pretty well off area.
Plenty of waterfront homes, high employment, 2 and 3 car families etc
etc.


Is the beach closed to anybody else coming in? Can't be so,
or else the Middle Eastern youths who started the trouble
wouldn't have gotten in, nyet?



This whole mess has been caused by the inability of Police to do their
jobs sorting out the relatively small gangs of people who have caused
problems in the area for years.
Courts will not backup Police and have released offenders on charges
of offencive language and behaviour because "It's normal in society
today".....thing is, it's not normal, or shouldn't be regarded as
normal to offend people, to abuse police, to shuck any authority.

I agree.


The white people in the shire rioted because they had had enough of
these middle eastern gangs coming into the area and creating friction.


The rioters I saw in the news did not look like "well-off"
people; looked like a mix of middle- and working-class men.


It could have been stopped long ago if it wasn't considered racist to
try and teach a few kids that they need to show a little respect and
manners.


The funny thing about this is that many people's (Middle
Eastern, Asian, American, etc etc) reaction against the
modern capitalist hi-tech world is the lack of respect for
tradition. Are these youths expressing "traditional cultural
values" by insulting others? How about the rioters?

In some cases it is definitely a tradition to insult &
attack others for little or no reason, but this kind of
tradition should be smothered. The world has gotten too
small for that kind of tribal attitude.

Sure, Oz. Same sorta thing used to happen in the American south when blacks
made remarks about white women.

OzOne said:
Nope, it's not the same because I can't see US Police ever ignoring a
black making unseemly comments to a white woman.

Are you implying that racism is a thing of the past?

As for a police officer in the U.S. ignoring a black male
making unseemly comments to a white woman... it would be
interesting to see the reactions of a black female police
officer to such!

It was a trick question, and you flunked. Bu hey, at least

Well, how much more "armed" do we have to be for you to be safe?? What
do you think... 40 automatic weapons each? Would that do it??
