Its started.....Its sad thats its had to come to this, but finally Australians are standing up for there own. I just hope the Lebanese thugs learn that if you keep pushing and pushing, someone will eventually stand up and fight back. The spirit of ANZAC does indeed live on.
Objectively though, its a sad day for Australia. We have racial based conflict in our communities. For that we can thank the PC multiculturalist loonies who have insisted on trying to mix petrol with fire.

Scuffles break out Cronulla Beach
Sunday Dec 11 14:30 AEDT
Scuffles have broken out after about 5,000 people, some yelling racist chants, converged on Sydney's Cronulla Beach amid fears of more violence there.
Two men of middle eastern appearance were seen being pursued and attacked as they tried to flee the crowd.
One of them was later escorted away by police, with blood streaming from his brow. As the second man fled, his short was torn by an angry group pursuing him on foot.
Earlier, a third man was also seen fleeing from a gang running after him.
Police have been forced to stop traffic on Elouera Road, which runs along the foreshore, as the crowd, also chanting pro-Australian slogans, spilled on to the roadway.
At least one man had been arrested over the unrest at Cronulla, Macquarie Radio reported.
Two men chased by the crowd were being protected by police who had moved in on Northies Hotel, on the foreshore, where at least one had sought refuge, it said.
Broken beer bottles scattered Elouera Road, with many in the crowd drinking heavily.
Mounted police and other units are maintaining a heavy presence at the beach after two rival groups used text messages to urge attacks on each other.
Some of the text messages encouraged people to carry out vigilante style attacks, and some message had racial undertones.
One of the messages had urged "Aussies" to take revenge against "Lebs and wogs". Another urged locals to rally at point on the beach to take retaliation against "middle eastern" gangs.
As the crowd moved along the beach and foreshore area, one man on the back of a ute began to shout "No more Lebs" - a chant picked up by the group around him.
Others in the crowd, carrying Australian flags and dressed in Australian shirts, yelled "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ... Oi, Oi, Oi".
North Cronulla Beach, in Sydney's south, was the scene of two violent incidents last week - an attack on two lifeguards on Sunday and a brawl later in the week in which youths turned on a media crew.
Authorities have been calling for calm since those attacks, which are believed to have sparked the text calls for attacks between the two groups.
Premier Morris Iemma and Police Minister Carl Scully have warned people against taking the law into their own hands.
"Let there be no mistake - if anyone comes to this beach on the weekend with the intention of causing trouble, the police will respond with the full force of the law to maintain order," Mr Iemma said on Saturday.
"It's time for everyone involved in this to just calm down."
