AUSTRALIA NEWS – Ryan Taylor perhaps never thought in his wild imagination that his much awaited 18th birthday would become a news paper headline for all wrong reasons.
A backyard party in Cairns saw a total chaos when 100 people crashed after a Facebook viral invitation. The picture was like this: a man was stabbed in the neck, drunken youths spilled on to a busy road, and 12 police vehicles were called in. Ryan never anticipated his simple party to transform into a nightmare. He just wanted he and his mates spend a memorable event; yes, the event was indeed memorable, but a desperately forgettable memory.
According to Ryan he invited his mates in Facebook but somehow invitation went viral and lots guys, some as young as 12 crashed at the backyard of his Reservoir Rd home. Soon these drunk and aggressive party crashers created nasty actions and the celebration spiraled out of control.
The aggressive party hooligans arrived as early about 10:30 pm on Saturday and some crashers kicked down a wooden fence when there were told to move out. Soon the situation became out of control, some members of the group stampeded through the property, smashing bottles and starting nasty brawls. 20 police officers, including members of the dog squad finally took the situation under control.
"I didn’t know any of the gatecrashers and we did try to lock them out but they just pushed down the fence," Ryan said.
He said all over certain fights broke out, girls were fighting, some guys were smashing beer bottles and everything was just out of control.
“It was terrible.” Ryan recalled.
He believed the crashers got noticed about his party via the social network Facebook. He invited a small number of mates and organized a small get together. He hired a DJ and invited were sent out on Facebook. He believed someone had sent the invitation to gatecrashers and decided to come and check it out.
He said that he learnt his lesson and in future would register his party with the police and never invited people to a party on Facebook.
Neighbors were still cleaning up the party aftermath, picking up beer bottles, sweeping glass from the footpath or repairing broken fences.
