For those on here playing the race card! You just hung a couple of Lebanese kids over this. Ops... the accused are not Lebanese, not even Arab. Fellas time to find another ethnic group to hang.

"Paul do the crime do the time *it is a greens run racist thing* Naturally In your eyes no need for the formality of a trial, just hang em' high. Judge Belly presiding. If you need "evidence" its there in black and white, in The Daily Telegraph.

Wm Trevor thanks Paul? no thanks not buying your views or thoughts.
First Wm Trevor I understand the law involving children before the courts.
It as far as I can remember always been so, what however about the 23 year old on bail.
The mothers words gave us more information than justice ever will, she is suffering and like every mother defending her child.
What do we the victims get out of never being told of the racial back ground of these kids.
How is not letting us know of the long list of offenses helping the boy or us.
Some country,s use shaming, we just discount the crime because of age ignoring his disgusting record and hide it.
NOTE Paul,s reactions, jump to the defense of the offenders every time.
Pacific Islanders some of them, are of little value in my opinion as migrants, we never stop paying for their drunken Warrior gang culture.
In the name of stopping racist crimes are we to protect as Paul does one race [perpetrators] while naming the victims.
Do we have a right, [remember without his mothers pain filled words we know nothing] to know these kids criminal records?
Paul are some racists better than others, you do the greens little good in this thread.

Paul,
The article says a group mainly comprised of Pacific islanders, it doesn't say that the offenders were Islanders and since only three of the eight were captured you're assuming that they are of Islander background, by their skin tone and build in the photos do they look like Islanders to you?
Furthermore the Police said that the offenders had no links to Islam, that means that they're either not religious or from another religion, why would they even bother pointing that out if the offenders were Pacific Islanders? The boys arrested are clearly not Islanders and according to the Police not Muslim, so until proven otherwise they're "Men of Middle Eastern appearance with no connection to Islam".
Youth gangs are often multicultural in this country, in my daughter's circle of friends there's currently a feud running between a White gang allied with a mixed White and Sudanese gang on one side and a Lebanese gang on the other and it's not unusual to find Lebanese and Islanders running together in our neck of the woods, the only hoodlums who really segregate are the Asians and Indians.

Jay Of Melbourne, I might know more than you think I know.

Paul,
Oh please, that doesn't work on the internet, you're not going to get into "trouble" for saying more than I think you might know unless you identify the offenders by name. Are they Lebanese, White or some other ethnicity?

One can only hope that when the hype with bikie gangs settles down the attention will be transferred to all these other ethnic gangs rampaging in our cities and schools.
