Redfern Riot

[Guest cul08r]

Of course alxr6t there are 2 sides to every story. I' wasn't saying he was an angel. I wasn't saying that the police were or were not chasing him. The only people who know what happened are Thomas Hickey and the officers that 'found' him.

And if you want to know why he was running, try being in a minority group for a while. Look at what has happened in the US since 9/11. Murders of people with 'middle eastern' apperances has increased, as has their arrests, due to the fact that many ordinary people misjudge them.

Police arrest girlfriend.

Police withdraw charge and change to caution after being instructed to do so by unknown higher authority

Police wait until after Mr Hickies funeral and attempt to arrest some 40 suspected rioters

Mr Carr wastes another 5 million dollars on two more enquiries, the first to ascertain why girlfriend was arrested, the second to see why the first two enquiries had no answers.

2 days after police arrest some of the 40 suspects, Redfern erupts into the biggest race riots in Australia's history. Police stand back dismayed at why the public are not on their side and why 3 times more officers get hurt than what did in the first riot.

Perhaps its all Karma for that "Deaths in custody" issue?

What ever it is I'm glad I'm not a Sydney copper.

The coppers will get hurt, the rioters will get hurt, and many so-called senior academics will get big budget increases and/or research grants to try and figure what happened. But none of this will ever be anybodies fault :flameman: :flameman: Hasn't our politically correct stance on racism worked wonderfully (NOT). Racism, what racism? We don't have that in Australia (Crap) and that goes for all the races and creeds who live here.

We have become a pack of politically corrected hypocritical wet blankets

Senator Ridgeway called on police not to arrest Sunday night's rioters, saying that he was "tired of too many young [Aboriginal] people ending up in prison".

Who is this ridgeway fool. Im sure if someone painted his lovely fence in grafitti he would be callng them to drawn and quartered.

He should come with me up to the cape sometime and see how it really is.

What an absolute disgrace statement.

People who have no concept of the game should not be in control of vital players

Thanks rapt,

Here we go again the big issues is we let the politicians fix everything never happens.

I am a greek Australian born here.(or Australian Greek whatever) I remember going to high school and in the early years we were just wogs then everybody just blended in over the years in my late high school years there was an influx of asians few months of fights,arguieng etc then after a while people started getting along with each other.Played sport etc.

I know one asian who speaks better greek than me. I must admit I dont have many aborigine friends mainly because I dont know any. But my question is, these people have been here longer than any of us they need to blend into the community.Do they go to all aborigine schools or are they mixed in with other schools? Maybe they should be dispersed a bit more and assisted so that they are not in an all aboriginie community as when there are to many of one nationality in one place it makes it look like they have overtaken the suburb Example Springvale in Melbourne most people will tell you its full of asian as there are other areas that have smaller groups of asians that people dont say anything about. I don`t have any problem with any race. One thing I would like to say is you get a lot of the old greeks who still dont like the Turks(O.K there was the war of independence people got killed and raped etc on both sides)but we must move on and learn to start fresh.Is this is what the aboriginies think? Dont know but if they are ever to blend into the community they need to forgive or forget the early colonization by the white people and look at what we have today and try to be peacefull and loving not riot and abusive which will only breed hate.

This goes for the rest of the world as well but we can only hope one day past wars will be forgiven or forgotten and the new generation will make a better world.

Sorry but this is my point of view and I know it sounds a bit lovey duvey but people need to develope this love and respect for each other when they are young.

P.s the drugs analcohol that some of them get involved him obviously doesnt help.

alxr6t - I don't know much about this subject but I saw on the news that the police were just on patrol and drove past the boy with no intention of pursuing him or even stopping him. So if the boy reacted as soon as he saw the police and ran, I wonder why, what would his reason be? Maybe he had just commited a crime of some sort?

What did I say in my above post to offend you so much cul08r? I didn't realise I had directed any of my comments towards you! If I was going to direct any comments towards you, or anyone else for that matter I would use their name or quote something they had said. Calm down mate!

Bare all in the interest of clarity...

righto, it's not us who led the "invasion" it was the brittish government, any redress should be sort with them.

I'm part aboriginal myself and if it wasn't for the brittish, the french would have come in and we'd be on the renult webpage now eating frogs and f@rting garlic. If I was fullblood and there was no "Invasion", my front teeth would have been knocked out at puberty, I'd have been circumcised with a sharp rock and suffered hard short life (assuming I'd survived apendicitis). NO THANKS. Treat Aboriginal as you would anybody else! They're no better or worse and I Detest the do gooder attitude that assumes aboriginals are somehow our lessers who need our help and guidence!

Dear sixfan

that's exactly my point wars have been fought and those that conquer take over then run the island they took over. when I say us I meant the white people(in this case the english) Your right I wasnt saying treat them any different but my point being that we need to get along with each other regardless of race. Just for the record I never said aboriginies to be of a lesser race but when a race has seen more than its fair share of critisim it doesnt hurt to help out and try to understand them as far as being a do gooder if you cant help your fellow man regarless of race what does that make that person is he better for just lookin and doin nothing.

Lucky the Brits "invaded" first. How many indiginous people would have surviverd an Asian "invasion"???

Most of the kooris I know are good people living their lives much like the rest of us. The stirrers are the overeducated mixed breeds who like the panderings of the socialists and don't know how to exist without handouts.

I don't know the answer. I don't really think there is one. At least not until the koori race is so mixed with the european/asian invaders that it just dissolves into obscutity. Another century or two??
