Bob Jane Franchisee Fears Another Attack

Sydney Morning Herald:

The Bob Jane T-Mart franchisee whose store was wrecked by an angry mob two weeks ago fears protesters will strike again over the long weekend.

A peaceful protest over the cancellation of an Easter car race meet turned violent when it was overtaken by angry youths who armed themselves with bats, steel poles and street signs and trashed the South Oakleigh store.

Franchisee Neville Smith, who faces a $20,000 damage bill, says he has heard a message has gone out on Facebook for the protest to be repeated over Easter.
