Riots on Princess HWY tonight because of the cancellation of easternats

[Falcon_Power_06]

First of all ill state that I dont agree with smashing the Bob Jane shop but i do understand the frustration of everyone who was there.

Most people on here only see the worse parts of the night through the media...Because you was not there so how can you all comment? This is how i seen the night hopefully i can shed some light on what actually happend...

It all started off peaceful....there was a petition going around and it was all fine...the police were in front of kfc for most of the time and the chopper was in the air... Time went on and idiots who were drinking got rowdy... Im gonna put it down to 2 people in holden ute's who started revving them while waiting at the lights, So the half drunk crowd all surrounded the ute's hoping for a burnout...(there was no burnout) thats when everyone poured onto the road blocking it off.






After the crowd all went onto road the police moved probably 700-800m down the road to block the road off. I assume it was to stop people getting ran over and to stop innocent motorists getting caught up in it all. Thats when the worst of it happened. Flares were lit and thrown around. From what i seen none were directed at police cars but i think that glass bottles were. From then onwards its wat you have seen in the media..A small group of the 2000+ people who were there started smashing the Bob Jane shop.

The cops then charge in and everyone left.
I dont agree with smashing the windows at bob jane. But the protest was a good idea. I dont know if it was organized with good intentions but i do doubt it tho. I think it should have been during the day but i do see the reason why it was held at night was because the NEW generation of enthusiasts spend there time cruising on Princes HWY friday nights.

I dont think this one single thing has ruined the modified car scene. The modified car scene has been ruined years back when most of you so called REAL enthusiasts used to go out and race, On the street just like the new generation are now. So just because you dont go out anymore dose that mean your now a REAL enthusiast?. The laws they have today must have been brought on by a precedent it couldn't possibly be the 18yo's who only just got there licence. It has to be the people who used to go out and take part in the dandy drags etc.

There is heaps of other stuff i was going to write here too but i cant be bothered mainly because this whole post will probably get deleted anyway for having a diffrent opinion.
