Let's be honest here. Lebanese youths have been tearing Sydney up for years and years and not just at Cronulla. I remember them robbing and bashing people in the carpark of castle towers shopping centre after late night shopping, people had to be dropped at their cars by security in golf carts for shit sake. The whole population of Sydney had this built up frustration and tension and that is what came out in the Cronulla riots. This was not just about a few muppets coming out on the train to act out at the beach...

As an Aboriginal love this interview. Lets never let this happen again. We got the best country in the world brothers regradless of where your heritage comes from.

As an aboriginal from the Northern Territory respect the hell out of this man for his words here about the whole situation

I lived in Liverpool for 25years and I found majority of the Lebanese I met thru my work were racist especially towards Asians & Australians, These mouthy grubs were great in numbers. The Gangs r@pes were targeted on "Aussie girls" the victims were told it was happening them because theyre Aussies. Cronulla was the tipping point for alot of frustrations from many, not just "Aussies" .I met alot of Lebanese that were decent hard working Ppl that loved Aussie.

Tough guy, you would not ever want to mess with him, yet he is full of respect and decency. Thumbs up!

This dude real asf! Props frm NewZealand

They were praying on families and the surf life saving clubbies for years before the riots.

Perfect example of how to say a lot without saying too much. Never gave no one up and never talked out of school.

I was living in Cronulla prior to this happening. For ages they used to come down 50 strong, 10 x WRX’s with 5 dudes, prowling around in groups of 2 cars. They would corner a couple of locals and then text their location, what hope did a couple of dudes have against that many???

Hey this is sick. Is there a link for the full pod can't find? Cheers lads

Just about to walk to maroubra 😂😂 and this video pops up. iPhone is listening to my conversations today 😂😂😂

I was 19 when the riots happened and lived most my life on the Northern Beaches.... I have since moved into the Canterbury Bankstown catchment area and can confirm Lebs can be really sharp and pompous. In all honesty I do not feel unsafe here as I mind my own business and I am big enough to handle my self and I am a strong believer in a persons right to defend themselves with extreme violence hard and fast. But there was all this shit from the Skaf gang rapes to constant bad press around Lebs and middle easterners on the constant. Be it poor business dealings from uncles who are builders or shonky work and sales blah blah... I have made a few friends in the older school Lebanese and there are some great ones. But the rural families who settled here from Lebanon have some serious deep rooted issues. Of course a few generations down the line the system will unkink most of the community.

Good shit....we from Nz LOVE IT

Great info

Hey mate, how do I get into contact with you directly? Got a few interesting stories to share

Great interview, very informative.

I’m from Cronulla and I was there on the day. What he said is 100% correct. It has been going on since the 1960’s and no one did fuck all about the harassment of male and females. Should of been handled a lot differently l.

Internal Affairs sickest band! Miles away on that tour to I think no doubt

He got it right about the Bra Boys doco.....That was aimed at 15-22 year olds.....

Moral of the story: Don't let cnts get away with sht. Also, it's not really "Bogan" mentality. It's "dumb cnt" mentality. Bogans aren't necessarily racist. I know some bogans that aren't racist and friendly as fk. Heck my wife calls me a bloody bogan and I'm not white

This bloke obviously doesn’t let the truth get in the way of a good story

Share share share. Your gonna go viral Sav

@4:27 For a second I thought it was THAT "Corey" and he sent a viral text

There were plenty of bra boys tats and aussie blokes from western Sydney at the riots

The younger Lebanese people are still comming to Cronulla and causeing issues. Just yesterday I was at north cronulla and a young female lifesaver (15) was getting harrased by a group of lebs. Its hard to see them getting checked these days considering half the people that live in the shire these days are new to the area and probably 80% plus of the people at the beach arn't from the area and arn't even aussie.

I grew up in Cronulla - wholeheartedly agree with the words "cronulla should have checked them, they got soft."

Lebs also came down to manly and the coconuts gave them all a hiding on the New Year’s Eve helicopter was in the sky and I seen channel 7 filming near manly library and they were told to keep it off the media

Hang around there in 80s never had a problem with the boys if you didn’t carry on like a goose and treated people with respect no problems the same at most areas in Sydney

I got a text ...come and pash some Lesos....that didn't end well..

sounds like blake oakfield from the mucca mad boys

NO APOLOGIES 😤

Mucca mad boys

Having egos and pride for 'your area' is not gangster, its just easily influenced kids doing jobs for actual gangsters. If you're not making major money, you're no gangster. Big respect to anyone who admits this and is willing to leave that life

Not letting on he knows who was responsible... Smart move Why would you want to go around later on to be asked or pointed out that you talked about a bike gang. He just wants no part of it. and isn't incriminating himself. Let the viewer use their own Brain for a bit instead of spoonfed ACA bs

Real bra boys wear bras

NO APOLOGIES

That's the exact story as I remember it.

i remember the riots well,i was a kiwi living in Canberra and had to go to sydney airport,im dark skined and thought oh fuckin here we go

I have lived in the Nulla for 57 years. Cronulla Riots were embarrassing. My early days here the crew down here would would show anyone acting up disrespectful the direction back to Cronulla Train Station. Cronulla Riots was an absolute piss up.

When Aussies still had a pair.

Of course it was depicted that way. The super kewl brah boys sat down with the hells angels and solved the Lebo issue.

i thought i did something at work 😁😁😁😁 dude just lost his job... LOL

Lo why is the beach aboriginals?

98% of what happened in Cronulla was not people from Cronulla

RESPECT

Is there still some form or working class culture in Maroubra?

He wasn't even there.

Most of those who participated in the 2005 Cronulla riot was English immigrants.

Maroubra isn't Detroit.

Bullsh%t, the eastern suburbs got hit not just Maroubra, I live in coogee and we got smashed, cars busted, lebs with swords running around and people flogged.

Where are the bra boys now?

Blah

I've lived in Cronulla for over 35 years in the dude you talk about but did not talk about was a respected local Surfer who had a lot of problems at the time99% of the people that cause trouble that day we're not from Cronulla you need to do a bit of research you are speaking about things you don't know about

Two gronks gronking it out Youse couldn’t crunch corn flakes lehd I’d goose ya lehd yak little goose dogs

"Lets just say he's not around anymore" ... Feel free to elaborated on that, champ.. You think he was "taken care of" do you? Trying to dramatise this shit even more. Show some respect.

I don't disagree with this man about certain behaviors but I also think the broader picture is that Australia is a racist country...whether it's any group from white to lebs..I am an Iranian..I visited Australia several times as a tourist for around 10 days and everytime I went, on numerous occasions I had white Aussies try to get into my face, either just sitting on a train or walking in city...they will try and it doesn't matter if you are middle eastern or Mexican...lol..they think that prosperity for them is everlasting...and any minority is to target..

Lebanese are way stronger than Aussies

"We had a connection with a bike gang... wont say who" 😂 theres litterally a picture of mick howy putting it on the Aberton brother's 😂 common chair throwers went to maroubra to shut them down because his little cousin got bashed... and bra boys shat the gear.

Crazy times. Im Aussie and got called a wog and threatened to be bashed because I drove a WRX in those times in Newcastle. Haha Im a white aussie. 😂

I remember getting sent those text messages - "reclaim the beach" and shit like that. I remember a mate sent it to me and was trying to g me up to go to Cronulla and I just looked at him and said, "what are you fucking on, bro? Think about it, nobody from Cronulla is coming to fucking Blacktown to punch on, why the fuck we going to Cronulla for it?" Blew my mind that there was this stupid tribalism, although I saw a tonne of it out West Sydney, especially at the Mean Fiddler.

Why are you lying to save your mate Abberton? You’re either lying or you’re not up to speed, the reason Maroubra got attacked is because Koby Abberton came out in the media big noting himself saying “this abuse wouldn’t happen in Maroubra, we’d sort them out” or words to that affect, so if any Maroubra locals lost property or had property destroyed that can blame him I was at cronulla that day, not involved but it’s not how you think it was, there were more people from outside Cronulla, skinheads, islanders etc all going crazy

It never happened 😂 because bra boys started recruiting poly lads from mascot etc coz they shat themselves when they got checked by oscar Taufahema!
