A man tries to hit police with a beer bottle at Cronulla Beach in Sydney, Australia, Sunday, Dec. 11, 2005, after ethnic tensions erupted into running battles between police and a mob of thousands of youths, many chanting racial slurs. At least six people were arrested and several injured in alcohol-fueled fights at the beach. (AP Photo/Rob Griffith)

He sure ain't saying "hold muh beer". Even though drunk these guys are in the right. The Lebs-Muslims have been playing rough for years at the beach.
How do they know for sure? Oh, yeah. The guy in the picture appears to be threatening a cop with a beer bottle. Nevermind.

I’m sorry but I despise the Lebanese. I’m sure there are nice Lebanese Australians, decent old guys who run newsstands, lawyers, doctors and people who just get along. But I have to assume that because the only Lebanese I’ve ever encountered have been vicious moronic thugs. I’ve born witness to a dozen screaming shoving matches out the front of Oxford street nightclubs, been insulted and threatened on Bondi’s esplanade, the list goes on.
Who was it that fired on that police station?
Okay I’ll give you one story, ONE, and this is the tip of the iceberg, and after this you can Diagnose me as a bigot if you like. This is not one of those “Some of my best friends are Lebanese, BUT..” stories because I don’t have any Lebanese friends because I hate them.
When I was a callow youth just out of uni, I lived visited Sydney briefly and stayed with my then girlfriend. She lived out in Ryde, so I had a long commute into the CBD and back. The bus had an ‘express’ and an ‘all stops’ version, clearly marked. It didn’t matter to me, I was the last stop. One of our colorful ethnic friends from the “Paris of the Middle East’, got on, and got up to get off, but he had dumbly got on the express and the bus didn’t stop at his station. Most people would have sighed in exasperation and sat back down, not this guy.
He went berserk. And I mean berserk, shrieking abuse at the bus driver as he tried to explain that he couldn’t get off here, then, and I swear to god I’m not exaggerating, HE GRABBED THE STEERING WHEEL AND YANKED IT.
Let me just give you a second for that to sink in. There were thirty people on that bus.
The bus swerved dangerously, the driver hit the brakes and let him out, he was screaming, leaping up and down like a chimpanzee, and, as an especially charming finishing touch, as the doors closed he spat full on the glass.
That’s ONE story, I have half a dozen, though I admit that’s probably the craziest. My friend’s a Canadian who’s only been in Oz for three years but already has two Lebo stories that involve violence and threats against him, one of them very serious. HE’S BEEN IN THE GODDAMN COUNTRY THREE YEARS. I do genuinely wish the whole revolting, thuggish, pig-ignorant, foulmouthed rabble would be thrown out, and I wouldn’t say that of any other ethnic group. I’m a big fan of immigration. Just not Arabs. And especially not the Lebanese.
The Australian yobbos in this story have acted like idiots and should be arrested, especially for the cowardly attack on that girl, but there was no trouble in Cronulla beach until GUESS WHO arrived.
