I want to throw up

On the race riots in the Sydney suburbs:

"Prior to the outbreak of violence, a crowd of at least 5000 people gathered at Cronulla beach.[1] The gathering had been called for in response to the assault of two surf lifesavers the previous weekend, which had been attributed to a Lebanese gang.[2]. According to ABC News, the initially festive atmosphere rapidly became violent:
"Earlier in the day the atmosphere had been party-like despite the large crowd, which some estimates say numbers 5,000 people. That changed when a man of Middle Eastern appearance was chased into a hotel bistro. Within a minute the hotel was surrounded by several thousand people screaming and chanting. About a half an hour later a fight broke out across the road and police led away a man with a shirt over his head as the crowd lobbed beer cans at him."[3]
Clothing with slogans such as "Love Nulla, F*** Allah", "Wog Free Zone", "Aussie Pride", and "Ethnic Cleansing Unit", and "I Love Pork" were sported by many of the rioters. Racial vilification and "Lebs out", "Lebs go home" were continuously being chanted by many of the rioters, including young families with children. Through the course of the day, several individuals of Middle Eastern descent were assaulted, and assaults on police and ambulance workers were reported as well. Groups of young men threw beer bottles at police and attacked police vehicles.[4][5]
Several dozen people were treated for minor cuts and bruises, while six individuals were evacuated under police escort to be assessed by doctors. One was further evacuated to St. George hospital, in serious but stable condition. [6][7]"
