Easternats Cancelled.............again

[W0rp3D]

Faaark Brett, that's nuts. Pretty uncool behaviour shown there.

Not that its going to matter but out of the 2 or so hours i was there it only went real bad for about 15 minutes and the attack on bob jane only lasted 5 mins max before the cops rolled in.

[_bobo_]

either way it got way out of control,

also heard a cop was bashed, feel sorry for him when he just trying to do his job.

feel bad for the BJ store aswel.

I drove through there about 10.30 and knew this was going to happen as it felt similar to the atmosphere at the noble park riots. I know that there were fights, arrests, people OC sprayed, cars impounded and drink driver's all in the surrounding area after this all in all a terrible day for car enthusiasts.

cant wait to watch the news tonight, and ACA and today tonight jesus

Pack of dickheads behaving like... a pack of dickheads. Afterall it seems the media is 100% correct about the hoons and so on with them not caring about the public etc etc.

To anyone that was there, even if you were not "doing" anything, you were supporting these spastics and to take video, photo's, standing around... all of it just fuels them.

Good work on bringing the car lovers into further disgrace with this display of utter stupidity.

Protest my ass. Was just an excuse for delinquint children of todays society to behave in the exact manner they claim they are not.

Another sad day for Victoria and Australia overall. Can't organise a protest, and cannot keep it peaceful.

I knew you would show up sooner or later to give your view on a situation that you never saw or were a part of but yet your view suggests you know every thing that happened, would not expect anything less from you.

[sneakey pete]

He is right though. Only thing that's done is bad. Non motoring public support for restarting easternats, building a new venue etc. will have practically gone to 0 now.

hoons go beserk on the front of the major newspapers.. really the result they were after? cant blame the government for not wanting to build a track for these rejects of society..

one of those youtube comments is spot on, "the melbourne car scene was hanging by a thread, you just cut that thread"

i stayed home for a reason last night but either way going to cop it big time now..

I did not go out last night either because u don't want to get f**ked over by cops but there are a few thugs in your post which are stupid. #1. Don't act like you are a saint in he road and don't hoon around. Oubdidnt buy a skyline to drive like a grandma. #2 the reason this happened was because a LEGAL event that was cancelled that caused this. So if legal events don't happen people will take it to the street. Simple.

woah.. pull up man im the last person to claim to be a saint on the road. but i dont go trashing people place of business or blocking highway traffic

i dont think anything in my post outlined anythign to do with me being a saint or the way people drive im purely saying the rioting/fighting, alleged bashing of the age photographer i mean wtf is up with that? yeh im no saint but im no lout either.

i hoon never hid that fact check every other thread where i dont hide the fact..

i am aware that easternats was cancelled and u know what if they had of been racing up and down the highway or having a burn out sesh good on em.. easternats does not involve flares,blocking the highway, and trashing / stealing from someones business

[CARSICK]

I wouldn't be too quick to judge Mr Jane (Snr)

[alr33x]

actually i probaly shouldnt say im a hoon, i dont hit the highways cut off ppl in traffic etcs no chap laps doof doof none of the usual "hoon" shite

[RB25PWR]

The end of the clip shows them flipping the ute onto its roof.

The owner of the store must be fkn pissed at BJ snr. What a shame really, I couldn't do that to someones business... knowing that I would cost them money and they didn't even do anything.

[wanzi]

i was there just out of curiosity. drove past on my way home from work n saw all the people n was like wtf goin on here? found out it was the protest and yeh figured that since the place was half bogans with beers in their hands and muzzas looking for trouble i could tell it was gonna turn into a riot and no one failed to disappoint

Yea I think the people that did that are complete idiots. Don't condone any of it. Fair enough protest. Even be a tool and race but don't be destroying shops and busineses just because thy are in the area. As someone has said on my facebook. Goodbye Melbourne car scene

[alr33x]

yep that was pretty much my point... im far from a saint just annoys me because i already have a tough time taking my car out and its guna be even worse now.. those 1 or 2 things they might have let go on a defect not now..

[Wheezy]

What shits me is that the cops left clearly knowing what was going to happen, they are not stupid. They did the same thing at noble park a few years ago.

Yes these idiots should not have done it, I do not condone it one bit. But again it makes easy pickings of people does it not?

"It was like something from Beirut,'' she said.

Cheryl said the crowds got progressively violent and aggressive.

"They were letting off flares and driving hotted-up cars on the street,'' she said.

"It was absolute mayhem.''

"Within 10 minutes there were hundreds of high-powered cars. It was like an organised protest and we were trapped in it.''

Gotta love the witnesses the media manage to find..

[mad082]

the riots and smashing up a business were just the perfect way to get more public support for off street events and a great advertisement to get people to sponsor events. i know that as a business owner i really want to be associated with these sort of single figure IQ people

<end sarcasm>

in all seriousness, if you are that upset about a car meet being cancelled i think it's time to take your mummy's titty out your mouth and grow the fuck up. out of all the ways to go about expressing dissapointment at the cancellation of an event, this was the worst possible way to go about it. it was never going to remain a peaceful protest as there are too many cavemen in the car scene.

all that will happen now is that any big business and politicians who were previously sympathetic to the cause and willing to help are going to walk away and distance themselves from the car scene, and i wouldn't be suprised to see calls for more venues to be closed down rather than opening new ones.

to the people who turned up to just to see what would happen, while you aren't directly in the wrong, your presence just encouraged more of these idiots to turn up as well as gave them a crowd to try to impress with their stupid antics.

and to the idiots that did actually join in on the stupidity (not directing this at anyone here), well done in adding more fuel to the already well out of control fire. now the general community hates us even more and the politicians will be less willing to provide facilities as the general public won't support it.
