I guess it was only a matter of time before they tried something like this:
'Sorry' excuse for mob violence

PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd's national apology to the stolen generation
has sparked a spate of racial violence in Darwin.
Five people had to be admitted to hospital after one brawl. The
Caucasian men were attacked by a group of 10 Aboriginal men, who
demanded that their victims "say sorry".
A 28-year-old Territory woman watched helplessly as her friend was
king-hit and kicked to the ground outside a Darwin 24-hour eatery on
Sunday morning. She said three men ran at them from across the road,
when they looked at the group yelling at two women.
"They just started king-hitting him. They got him on the ground and
then two others came over and started kicking him," she said.
"They kept screaming that we were not sorry at all - 'Say sorry to
us'. You just couldn't stop them."
The woman said three more men grabbed another Caucasian man and
punched him in the middle of Smith St.
"That's when I called the police. He managed to roll into the gutter
but they kept on kicking him," she said.
They and her friend ran to the Mitchell St police station, where they
met up with other victims of the racial attack.
"The police officer said since the sorry apology on Wednesday, it had
been completely out of control."
The woman said there were four other victims of racial violence in the
emergency room at Royal Darwin Hospital. Her friend had fractured ribs
and bad bruising. Others had head injuries and bruises.
"I don't know why they did it," she said. "They're just making it
worse for everyone. It was gutless. It doesn't have to be this way."
Another big brawl occurred at Fairway Waters in Palmerston on Saturday
night.
Police said witnesses and victims of the "series" of assaults on
Sunday were being questioned.
Senior Sergeant Steve Martin warned that "thugs" and "troublemakers"
had no place in Darwin.
"Police take a zero tolerance approach to violence and antisocial
behaviour and any assaults of this nature will be thoroughly
investigated," he said.
Constable Michael Lunney, officer-in-charge of the investigation, said
he was confident police would find the men responsible for the attacks.
