"What's a Ute?"

THREE people have been arrested and three others assaulted in renewed violence at Sydney's Cronulla beach, NSW Police say.
Scuffles have been breaking out since about midday (AEDT) when about 5,000 people, some yelling racist chants, converged on the beach where racial tension and disputes between beach users flared last week.
A NSW Police spokeswoman said two men, aged 32 and 20, had been charged with offensive behaviour.
A third man had been arrested and was expected to be charged with assault, she said.
The spokeswoman confirmed a total of three people had been assaulted.
Witnesses at the beach reported seeing police use capsicum spray to subdue at least one man.

Some of the text messages encouraged people to carry out vigilante style attacks, and some message had racial undertones.
One of the messages had urged "Aussies" to take revenge against "Lebs and wogs". Another urged locals to rally at point on the beach today to take retaliation against "middle eastern" gangs.
As the crowd moved along the beach and foreshore area today, one man on the back of a ute began to shout "No more Lebs" – a chant picked up by the group around him.

My sides hurt. LOL
Somebody said the Aussies would take care of this problem.
Looks like somebody was right.
TA DA!
Aussies vs. Utes? Isn't a 'ute' a pickup truck or an SUV?
That was me and I was right.
Lookies like the footies decided it was time for a little discipine.
"What's a Ute?"
I thought the Utes were an Indian (excuse me - Native American) tribe in Utah and New Mexico. I didn't realize they'd travelled to Australia.
Being a regular Limbaugh listener, I thought a "ute" was somebody who goes to "screwel"--
Originally a UTE was a utility version of an American passenger car usually a coupe with a pickup bed moulded in. Kinda like an Aussie version of an El Camino.
They had a UTE version of a '39 Ford and a '39 Studebacker.
Very nice looking and very rare.
"Ute" is short for utility. It's a like a pickup but it's based upon a sedan.
We were told by MSM that the Utes were rioting in France.
"We were told by MSM that the Utes were rioting in France."
I was very surprised by that.
"We were told by MSM that the Utes were rioting in France."
Yoots versus Utes.
Aahh. RegulatorCountry in Post #17 has clarified the "yoot" vs "Ute" issue.
Spokewoman??
How DARE they be so politically corrupt!!!
Spokesperson would be the appropriate term.
Where is the media outrage???
