This happened 2 mins from my house at my local Mcdonalds.
A NSW state Labor MP has traded blows and insults with an American man during a carpark punch-up outside a fast-food restaurant in Sydney's north-west.

Blacktown Labor MP Paul Gibson told News Ltd on Wednesday that while he was being bashed his attacker repeatedly said: "This is how we do it in America."

Mr Gibson said he was able to retaliate with a punch after people pulled his attacker off him, causing the American to bleed.

Mr Gibson then told the bloodied American: "This is how we do it in Australia."

The men were then separated and Mr Gibson said he was told by a bystander that the American had a revolver.

"How he didn't kill me I don't know," Mr Gibson told News Ltd.

Police on Wednesday released security camera photographs of the American, saying they want to speak to him.

The fight escalated from an argument over parking at the Thornleigh restaurant about 3pm (AEST) on Sunday.

Mr Gibson said the American accused him of running over his foot.

The MP told police he was thrown against a parked four-wheel-drive and punched.

He suffered abrasions and bruising to his shoulders and ribs.

Police now want to talk to a man described as being of African American appearance.

He is described as being 185-187cm tall, with a solid build and an acne scarred complexion.

He speaks with an American accent, and was wearing dark coloured clothing at the time of the incident.

Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

    Which one USA or Aus?

    A suburb away, some poor bloke was bashed after he went to rescue this young guy who was being bashed by several youths.

    He permanently lost sight in one of his eyes and half of his face is paralysed. And the hero says he would do it all again if he needed to.

    This is what happened over in Perth a while back.

    It happens near the end of this short video, but it left the officer paralysed and partly brain damaged. And the courts didn't even give the accused jail time because he was defending his father who was being tased.

    What a joke.

    I think the fact that it is called a "carpark" instead of "parking lot" alone makes us look a little less cool.

    carpark is a drive thru line and at the front of the line is a intercom system for ordering mcdonald's grub?

    a carpark is where you park your car when youre not too lazy to actually get off your duff and actually walk into the 'restaurant'.

    I was shocked reading this today. Paul Gibson is a ex 1st grade Rugby League player and he's not a little guy either(although he did get blindsided). He's my local state member of parliment and helped me out a with a big problem about 3 yeras ago. He's also on the outer with the NSW Labour Party because he's told them what a factional infighting waste of space they are at the moment,which makes him a pretty decent guy for a politician in my book. I hope he's OK and makes a full recovery and that this guy gets caught.
    I can't go the library anymore, everyone STINKS!!

    And what about the message from the polly. After the guy is restrained, he threw a punch and said 'that is how we do it in Australia'.

    That's right people, we wait till they're defenceless then throw punches.

    I've always liked Homer's tactics " Shriek like a woman and keep sobbing until he turns away in disgust. Then it's time to kick some back!!! And then when he's lying on the ground, kick him in the ribs, step on his neck, and RUN LIKE HELL!!!!

    Kids these days are fucked.
    Few weeks ago ten or so went on a rampage on a train here.
    Threatened innocent passengers with a broken bottle, dragged an elderly man off the train and surrounded him.
    Some guy from Tassie intervened and was put in a coma.
    The kids then started throwing rocks at passengers inside who were taking cover under seats.
    This country is fucked.

    The place isn't fucked...there are just a lot of fucked up people out there who continue to breed further generations of fucked up offspring, because no pollie has got the balls to put forward a bill for compulsory sterilsation of those who continue to breed with no regard for the children they are producing and draggin up, nor the society that has to put up with thier shit. An\d all the while, centrelink still pays them thier parenting payments and dole, which they most likey are pissing up the wall, smoking away or injecting it into themselves...not BRINGING UP USEFUL AND CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS OF SOCIETY! :evil:

    It's not going to get any better, like Mr Reeves said, you need a driving licence to drive a car but any scumbag can have children and those scumbags have more scumbags who in turn, well you get the idea.
