Bigoted bashing in Sydney saloon

A note to moronic bigots: A fundamentalist Muslim is unlikely to be drinking at a pub. The smoking of cigarettes is also forbidden under Islamic law.

Bomb jibe, then bashing

July 4, 2007

A MAN of Egyptian descent was beaten up in a Sydney pub last night after his attackers suggested he was a suicide bomber, in an apparent reference to the attacks in London and Glasgow.

Mick, 37, who did not want his surname published, entered Sweeney’s Hotel in Druitt Street about 7pm, when he was confronted by five men at a table.

According to Mick and to an unrelated witness in the pub, one of the men said: “Have you got a ticking bomb in your bag?”

An argument developed, which Mick said he tried to defuse.

“I said, ‘no bomb’s ticking mate’ and he said, ‘which country are you from?’ I said ‘I’m Australian mate, I was born here. I’ll buy you a beer’,” Mick said.

But when he stepped outside for a cigarette, one of the men grabbed him from behind, punching him in the head hard enough to draw blood and ripped a chain from around his neck.

The alleged attacker was up to 197 centimetres, and possibly of mixed Anglo-Saxon and Maori or Islander descent. Police were last night investigating the assault.

The pressure foot isn’t engaging with the feed dogs!

…and all is not well in Australian fascist circles. (Ripped off of Slackbastard)

Following David and Lilith’s resignation from Scumfront — and with the encouragement of Nichola, another member of Newcastle AF — a teenaged Novocastrian named Rhys has assumed the wobbly helm of Don Black’s Internet business Down Under. And while Pete Campbell, Jim Perren, and the remnants of the WPCA that gather under the guise of ANN gloat, SFDU has become the near-exclusive domain of a handful of other teenaged pipsqueaks… that is, in addition to the usual, bitter, older, middle-aged racists. And er… Frank White.
