picnic at Dolls Point

Anything a weapon as picnic turns into brawl

http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/anything-a-weapon-as-picnic-turns-into-brawl/2007/01/15/1168709679189.html

THEY came at each other with saucepans and kitchen knives, even a folded-up picnic chair. As food fights go, this was bloodier - and more resourceful - than most.

Details emerged yesterday about how a serene Sunday picnic at Dolls Point in southern Sydney had degenerated into a 45-minute brawl.

Police say the fight, in fading light between two clans, erupted when a child from one family was struck by a soccer ball.

Photographs passed onto the Herald by a witness show furious bare-chested men flinging punches as a woman waves desperately.

"There was a bloke walking around with a folded chair and he was having a swing. There was screaming and shouting … even the women were having a go at each other."

"A guy in a red singlet, he went and grabbed a saucepan from the camping site and he's gone and hit the other guy," Mr Hughes said. "Then the other guy picked up a piece of wood … the guy with the red singlet was bleeding from the head."

Police swooped on the scene within 10 minutes, but soon called for reinforcements as the fight "kept flaring", Nick said.

It seems that everyone today is full of rage. Life is moving so quickly and so many of us are stressed out, that it doesn't take much to lash out and abuse whoever is closest to you.

We all need to take a deep breath and calm down. Modern life doesn't suit many of us, but we have no choice other than to consider our neighbours to the best of our ability, no matter how much they irritate us.

Usual Suspects - turn 'em loose and let 'em kill one another... why risk perfectly good coppers trying to break them up?

Whose idea was it to mass import them again? Mind you, any sensible Aussie would be sitting back with a beer and a sandwich and watching the fight.... maybe on Australia Day we can watch the Invasion Day-ers fight it out in the streets... black supremacists.... aqua's got Malbadishu sewn up - the Midnight Blacks rule the show there as the 'alpha' monkeys without any civilisation to them...

We need to let some of these 'clans' kill one another off... save us all a lot of time, worry, money, and energy....

I think its a form of ethnic dancing....in days of yore only men were allowed to dance...for goodness sakes to make it look well straight! I suppose they even carried swords..or in the case of the Morris Dancers white hankies...same thing really only not so many bruises.
