Special on Channel 7 about the Cronulla riots on atm. Was running a custom Harley shop at the time at Taren Point and remember when it went down thinking fair play - knew the lifeguards and girls at Cronulla had copped a hard time for years from middle eastern kids. Bit overboard but fck me, no one else seemed to be able to keep these kids under control. Some of the stories I'd heard over the years were ugly as.
Following day, walked the dogs up towards Punchbowl Oval (and of course wearing a shirt that said Cronulla beach lol). Ran into some Leb boys I knew and they just told me to get the fck out of there, its gunna get ugly. Could see all the cars and thinking, yeah, this ain't good. Got out of there quicker than Scomo after the election.
Found out later that the cops blocked the three bridges into the shire. So the bankstown boys just drove around via Heathcote road and went to town.
All in all - pretty fckd up. Not placing blame - but reckon the guys who got beaten up at cronulla had nothing to do with the previous issues and the victims of the retaliation had nothing to do with that day at Cronulla beach. Sad shit that never needed to happen.
