Bra Boys, Bandidos and Comancheros clash in turf war at Maroubra

A VOLATILE turf war has broken out between the Bra Boys and two outlaw motorcycle gangs that have begun moving into the surfers' territory in the Sydney suburb of Maroubra.

Police are investigating several violent clashes between members of the Bra Boys and the Bandidos in recent weeks at the renowned Maroubra Bay Hotel.

The venue is a well-known watering hole frequented by the notoriously territorial surfers, who claim Maroubra Beach as their own.

Police said they have observed the Bandidos and another bikie clan, the Comancheros, establishing an unwelcome presence in the Bra Boys' stronghold.

Last weekend, a one-on-one bar fight, allegedly between a junior Bra Boy and a Bandidos gang member, spiralled out of control when up to 20 people from both sides jumped in, turning the minor scrap into an all-in brawl.

It's the second known incident involving the Bra Boys and the Bandidos in less than a month.

The bikie gang is under heavy surveillance following a spate of drive-by shootings around Sydney's west earlier this month.

The free-for-all mayhem involved chairs thrown around the room and an attempted glassing.

Security guards quickly moved in and broke up the melee, forcing the warring sides onto the street before locking down the venue.

On November 15, a similar incident involving Bandidos bikers and members of the Bra Boys took place outside the venue.

Maroubra Bay Hotel management said it had been asked to hand over several tapes of CCTV evidence to police who are investigating the violence.

Gangs squad detectives have also been made aware of the incidents.

Maroubra Superintendent Paul Pisanos said there has been an "emerging manifestation" of "outlaw motorcycle" (OMC) gang members in Maroubra, but the reasons why were still unclear.

He said OMC gangs in the area were tending to "dress down" their appearance, even though it was against club policy, to avoid scrutiny in public.
"I can confirm there has been an OMCG presence down there (at Maroubra Beach) and police have seen that themselves.
"It hasn't been linked into anything other than a presence at this stage. There are ongoing issues with alcohol-related violence and antisocial behaviour by a number of persons and we don't differentiate with them being associated with any group or otherwise."

The Bra Boys and Bandidos are known to have maintained a co-operative relationship with each other in the past, but the rising tensions could destabilise their solid alliance.

The Bandidos once enlisted the Bra Boys to help find and recruit new members for their club.

The surfer group's co-founder, Sunny Abberton, played down the latest developments and said there was no war going on with the biker gangs.
"There's no bad blood between any of the surfers and the bikies," he said.
Mr Abberton also denied any Bra Boys involvement in Saturday night's brawl.
"I didn't hear or see anything," he said. "I was in the Maroubra Bay Hotel earlier and it all seemed pretty quiet."

I know his dad's abusive
And his mum prefers the daughter;
I know he's got an attention
Deficiency disorder;
He is culturally excluded
And genetically inbred:
But the reason he's a homeboy
Is because he's a dickhead.
Tell me why?
Tell me why?
Tell me why... he's a homeboy?
Tell me why?
Tell me why?
We all support empowerment
And positive discrimination
When your class, your race, your age, your face
Determine your social station;
A baseball cap and a love of rap
Might need sympathy - but, still,
Possibly a homeboy could be
A dickhead pure and simple.
Tell me why?
Tell me why?
Tell me why... he's a homeboy?
Tell me why?
Tell me why?
In The Brothers Karamazov
Here's what Dostoyevsky said:
"Know your enemy well enough
And you will pity them instead"
Pity soon will turn to love
Is what Jesus Christ once knew.
They changed their minds the day when,
they met a homeboy crew.

QWhat does that mean?

At first glance I thought this took place in Pattaya and Bra Boys was katoey bikers..

Strange place Maroubra. On the one hand it's a got a great beach, plenty of space and some decent venues. Otoh, it's full of lowlife scum- the sort that are normally restricted to the Western suburbs of Sydney. Chavville on Sea.

'BRA BOYS'......really rough tough name that one.

As they walk through the crowded saloon bar doors.....'alright you lot, we are the BRA BOYS and we want some cocktails with them pink umbrellas in em'.....as the crowd

Was dinking at the Viking Hotel in Milperra (southern Sydney) when the shit hit the fan between the Bandidos and Comancheros.

Cannot remember how many people were slaughtered that day but when running through the car park and to get out there were bodies and blood everywhere.

Again it has to be about drug distribution control and the situation is out of control.

Ask them if they wear C or D-size.. And if they are cut or uncut.
