Children as young as eight are terrorising a town in retaliation after an Aboriginal man was shot by police.
Residents in Cowra, in central west New South Wales, are so terrified they are sleeping with weapons next to their beds.
Dennis John 'DJ' Doolan was shot by police on September 28, prompting angry members of the Aboriginal community to chant 'black lives matter' until elders had to stop them rioting.
The 32-year-old accused thief is still in hospital recovering following the shooting.
Now the town is being terrorised by a mob of mostly Aboriginal children, believed to be as young as eight years old, who are raiding homes to steal jewellery, power tools and electronics, Daily Mail Australia can reveal.
Handwritten notes have been placed in a number of letterboxes threatening people following break-ins across the town.
Diane, who only wanted to be known by her first name, has been targeted twice in the past 18 days.
'The first time they targeted the shed and took my dog Bonnie - a German shepherd - who they beat up,' Diane told Daily Mail Australia.
'The second time they cleaned out the shed of my husband's tools.
'They know I am at the house alone - because my husband is in a nursing home, but they do target the vulnerable.'
She now sleeps with a golf club next to her bed, and her dog sleeps inside because she is worried she'll be hurt again.
A former Cowra youth worker who mentored many of the children accused of the violent break ins noted the incidents have intensified since the shooting.
'The little ones think the cops can't touch them because the Aboriginal community will back them,' the source told Daily Mail Australia.

It’s the Trump effect. Trump’s mean talk and vicious bullying has sparked a wave of violent behavior in children across the globe.
ALM?
BLM has gone even to the aborigines of Australia, huh.
Lord of The Flies
Civilize them
The aboriginal kids are now terrorizing the civilized but unarmed townspeople.
What does this say about Darwinian fitness going forward?
Similar observations may be made about the uncivilized Arabs flooding the EU, particularly in Germany, France, and Sweden.
Or, the simmering, festering underclass we have here, stoked up and enabled by the Left.
The only weapon mentioned in the article is a golf club being kept by an elderly woman next to her bed.
Handguns are legal with the right licence, but the way Australia’s gun laws work (or rather don’t work), it would be very unwise to tell anybody you were keeping any sort of gun to hand. You want to be able to tell police that you ‘just happened to have it nearby’ if you have to use it. Self defence with a weapon is legal if the threat faced is serious enough, but you are not generally allowed to carry a weapon just in case.
At one time I was hoping Aussieland would be a place of refuge if liberalism took over too much of my country. To a significant degree, that has already happened.
Not that I have any money anyways, but would like to visit my friends up near Brisbane.
Oh well.....
Black Lives Matter movement striking a chord with Indigenous Australians, says visiting US activist
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-19/black-lives-matter-movement-is-coming-to-australia/7640506
Most of the country is still a great place to live.
And the gun laws (which while, not good, have never been as bad as some people have tried to claim) are gradually being rolled back.
The biggest problem in Australia currently in my view when it comes to conservative beliefs and freedom is the erosion of the right to freedom of speech and freedom of the press. It’s not that bad yet, but that is where things seem to be getting worse and which many conservatives don’t seem willing to fight hard enough for.
As for the incident in question a thorough,impartial investigation should clearly be conducted.And if,by chance,it concludes that police misconduct was involved the person(s) involved should be placed on trial.But it should also be recognized that there are occasions when "black" people are justifiably shot by police just as surely as white people sometimes are.
And naturalman...just as an aside...I traveled many years ago (during my first trip to Oz) from Sydney to Broken Hill on the Indian Pacific.It was March and it was hot as the dickens...about 40C for the several days I was there.While there I saw my first (and,until now,only) Aboriginal person.I still can't get over it...for reasons that would take a while to explain (don't worry,no racism involved).
Hopefully the folks of this town...folks of all colors...can straighten this matter out.Ferguson was very,very ugly and this matter sounds ugly too.
A couple of years ago one of our better known,and more "flamboyant",radio talk show hosts was denied entry into Britain because he was too "radical".It surprised me that Australia would allow that trouble making punk in.
Australians have heard a lot about the BLM movevment and the incidents that lead to it in our media, but mostly only from a very left wing perspective - there’s very little balance.
In the case in Cowra, I do think there’s some reason to have concerns about what happened. But as you say, that needs to be investigated properly and I believe it will be.
I’ve been involved in advocating for indigenous rights in Australia since I was 11 - since 1967. My mother had been well known as an activist on this issue since the early 1960s and I took it seriously. There were very very real problems in the way Australia treated its indigenous people and there are still some issues today that haven’t been fully solved.
But nowadays, the majority of indigenous people live normal Australian lives just like anybody else. Where problems still exist, it’s most often in isolated, poor communities, like Cowra that aren’t typical of the country in general. And a lot of it is self inflicted. People who choose to rely on welfare rather than trying to improve their situation - and there’s plenty of white people in those communities who are the same way.
My current efforts involve helping to get indigenous kids scholarships to the best schools in the country (often boarding scholarships) - and it really annoys me that the left in this country often do their best to block these efforts because they see them as ‘stealing children’ from their culture. That’s a big part of the problem too - left wingers who put political correctness and ideology ahead of actual results (to be fair, not all of them do, but it does get in the way of real change. Education is the silver bullet on this).
Read the title and thought they were talking about Winnipeg!
Good GOD, they are terrorizing old people & beating up animals? Disgusting. It just seems like quiet law abiding people all over the world are being tormented by a feral underclass that has absolutely no respect for anything. It is actually quite scary.
Trouble in Winnipeg? Although it certainly doesn't make me an expert on the city I drove through Winnipeg once and it struck me as being about the last place on earth where you'd see trouble.
Winterpeg is chock full of aboriginal (aka Native, First Nation, Indian, etc.) gangs, LOTS of crack houses, many murders, violence, etc. While not as cheap as Detroit, houses have little value. Winnipeg is run down and not likely to come back for a VERY long time, if at all.
Part of the problem was (still is?) that kids from villages in the Territories were often shipped to Winterpeg for their high school education. Separated from friends, family and their culture, they became easy prey for the gangs. The drop out rate in Winterpeg high schools among aboriginal youth is VERY high. Gangs provide a kind of ‘family’ that they otherwise often do not have.
Without having read the article, I suspect something similar amongst the Australian Aborigines. Without cultural norms, kids act out, the lowest common denominator, as it were.
