Incendiary Advice

Dumb excuses from dumb people who face court in the aftermath of the Cronulla riots:

#1 No Fuel Like A Young Fool
Prosecutor Senior Constable Brad Scanlan said Mr Osmanagic had told police he was carrying the bottles to help a friend whose car had run out of petrol at Bondi.

"Why did his friend need petrol from Liverpool when there are numerous petrol stations in the city?" Sen Const Scanlan asked.

He said Mr Esmailpour told police he wanted the petrol to sniff it.

"Petrol is available in Bondi. One doesn't have to ride all the way to Bondi to sniff petrol," Sen Const Scanlan told the court.


#2 Immolation Renovation
TWO men who allegedly built and stockpiled seven firebombs at Cronulla were remanded in custody for the weekend yesterday amid fears of further unrest in the Shire.

Mark Barry Miller, 33, and Mathew John Lalor, 24, faced Sutherland Local Court after police allegedly found seven molotov cocktails hidden on their Cronulla unit balcony.

The court was told Lalor made the fire bombs to protect themselves after their unit was overrun by a mob of hooligans on Monday night.
