For all you Australians, you will have seen this in the news. For others, here's a
link.
Basically, a couple of young, white lifeguards got attacked by a mob of people of Middle-Eastern appearance. As revenge for this initial attack, a mob of 5000 people went and bashed anyone who looked remotely Middle-Eastern. This mob ran riot with Australian flags while chanting racist slogans. 31 injured, 22 arrested, 2 stabbed, cars destroyed as well as police threatened with beer bottles and having objects thrown at them.
Personally, I think this is appalling to have happened somewhere as visible on the world map as Sydney and in this day and age. I'm pretty much speechless...
