Bottles thrown in Western Sydney riot
Australian Broadcasting Corporation ^ | September 9, 2009

A series of raids and arrests in Western Sydney last night led to a stand-off between police and a crowd of locals throwing bottles.

The Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad carried out three raids on the same street at Auburn.

It is investigating who shot a 23-year-old, who turned up at Auburn Hospital on Sunday night with a gunshot wound to the chest.

During one of the raids, a 25-year-old man punched an officer in the face and was arrested.

Police inspector Mick Reynolds says the man's arrest triggered an angry response from about 150 residents.

"There was a lot of people that gathered in the street who were on phones, and I guess they have a network of bringing their friends out," he said.

"The crowd gathered and it escalated in a matter of five to ten minutes.

"Further reinforcements were requested in cordoning off the area while the search warrant could be concluded. Projectiles were thrown at police."

Officers from the Public Order and Riot Squad were called, along with the PolAir helicopter, Dog Unit and police from neighbouring local area commands.

Inspector Reynolds says police produced their batons but did not use them on anybody.

A 17-year-old boy and a woman in her 20s were arrested along with the 25-year-old man.

The injured officer was taken to hospital and given stitches.

Police say they found a gun, drugs, cash and two stun guns during the raids.

I’d wish we would, but remember the ‘outrage’.

How many do you think a single 12ga. shot could kill in one swoop? Just curious for the future.

If you deport them they will continue to breed, not much gained in the long run. I would offer an alternate suggestion, but that wouldn’t be very humane of me. ;-)

Australia has had Lebanese Christians emigrating to Oz for 100+ years. Salt of the earth people who become good Oz citizens.

Note: American TV actor Danny Thomas (1950s and 1960s) started St. Jude Childrens hospital and was a Lebanese Christian. St. Jude’s has become the primier research hospital for children with serious diseases, usually cancer. Children are not turned aay if parents cannot afford treatment.

In recent years, Lebanese Muslims have emigrated to Oz and have been trouble with a capital T.

Hat tip to the Australians. At least they are willing to call a spade a spade.
