Dithering and blithering

Police and youths confront each other after an altercation at North Cronulla beach.

NSW Premier Morris Iemma has warned locals at Sydney's Cronulla Beach not to take the law into their own hands promising "thugs" and "morons" responsible for recent violence will be brought to justice. Mr Iemma today called for calm, urging people not to take the law into their own hands.

"Our streets are there for everybody to be safe and to go about their business," Mr Iemma told Macquarie Radio. He said violence at the beach would not be tolerated and said locals must let police do their job. "Let the police finish the job and bring those thugs, those morons, to justice, but don't you take the law into your own hands."

In the past few days since the life guard bashing incident, locals have been reporting day in and day out on radio, unreported incidents where these Lebanese thugs, intimidate and bash Aussie men, women and kids; when they report the crimes, the criminals get fined or conferencing, or go for tax payer funded hugs and kisses sessions.

What I find surprising is that, when people are bashed up on the beach or abused, it's just the back page and we get some weak condemnation from the politicians.

However when text messages and emails start circulating about locals standing up to the thugs, talk about bashing them in return, all of a sudden we get the politicians squeaking about vigilantes and justice, choppers are circling and its all happening.

Perhaps the premier could empower the police to do really far out things like, impounding cars when hoons drive around causing trouble, when the brave and courageous bad boys start calling their mates to hold their spines in place, take the mobiles off and chuck them into the sea.

Till the authorities take a boot-to-ass approach for anti social behaviour, the locals will have to band together to do their job for them.
