Pictured: Queensland barber accused of organising a Cronulla-style riot within the wake of the Bondi Beach bloodbath

A barber accused of trying to whip up a Cronulla-style riot in the wake of the Bondi Beach massacre has been slammed by a magistrate as his bid for freedom failed. 

Ryder Shaw, 20, appeared in court on Monday charged with using a carriage service to menace, harass, offend and publicly threaten violence on grounds of race/religion. 

He was arrested in Narara, on the NSW Central Coast, about 1.40pm on Sunday after he allegedly masterminded a flyer advertising a planned ‘bashing day’ on Cronulla Beach, south Sydney, to be held on December 27.

The post, which read ‘WE RIOT. WOG/MIDDLE EASTERN BASHING DAY. SPREAD THE WORD AUSTRALIA! STAND THE F*** UP’, went viral on Snapchat, Facebook and TikTok. 

Dressed in a grey t-shirt and shorts, Shaw looked down and kept his hands in his lap as his lawyer Brian Quinn made an application for bail.

The court heard Shaw has been working part-time as a barber on the Sunshine Coast, where he lives with his partner.

The court heard police will allege Shaw was one of the organisers of the proposed event and the flyer was posted online while he was still in Queensland.

He was visiting family on the NSW Central Coast, where he grew up and his mother still resides, when he was arrested, the court heard. 

Prosecutor Felicia Lay argued Shaw should remain in custody due to the risk of further offending and the seriousness of the alleged offence.

‘The post included a date and location. It is submitted it was not just a hateful post, but it was encouraging [people to participate],’ she said.

Mr Quinn argued his client was not previously known to police and if he was granted bail his partner would have to leave her aged care job in Queensland to relocate to NSW. 

Mr Quinn said bail restrictions could be imposed to mitigate risks, such as Shaw living at one of two possible addresses on the Central Coast, barring him from entering Sydney, limiting social media access, and mandatory bi-weekly reporting to police.

However, Magistrate Margaret Quinn said the allegations were very serious and could possibly result in jail time if proven.

‘I don’t know if that young man who [allegedly] killed all those people in Bondi had a record either,’ she said.

‘Inciting people to violence because of race or religion is repulsive.

‘That young man [Shaw] should realise that the person who saved people [at the Bondi shooting] was a Muslim.

‘This young man seems to be a Muslim hater. That is what his text suggests.’

Magistrate Quinn said the alleged offending was made even more serious by the fact ‘feelings are running high at the moment’ and event details were specified.

‘There is a date involved and a place. They are not just a random declaration to kill or do something to others. It actually sets down a date and place,’ she said.

Magistrate Quinn denied Shaw bail, arguing there was an unacceptable risk to endangering others in the community.

The viral call to action followed a mass shooting at Bondi on December 14, when father and son Sajid, 50, and Naveed Akram, 24, allegedly murdered 15 and injured dozens more after opening fire on a Jewish Hanukkah celebration. 

Police will allege the pair carried out a terror attack in the name of Islamic State ideology. 

One of the heroes amid the attack was Muslim tobacconist owner, Ahmed Al Ahmed, who was injured while disarming Sajid. 

The Daily Mail understands Shaw runs a barbershop, called Ryder’s Chops, in Gympie on the Sunshine Coast. 

On December 14, the business issued a post on social media advising customers of its opening hours during the festive season.

‘Closed from Friday 19th December – 6th January,’ the post reads..

‘Last day will be open Thu [sic] 18th.’ 

Police will allege Shaw did not obtain the correct authorisation for an assembly, making anyone who chose to attend the event on Saturday ‘not legally protected’. 

‘The organiser has not obtained authorisation for the assembly under Part 4 of the Summary Offences Act 1988,’ NSW Police said in a statement. 

‘Without this authorisation, the event is not legally protected as an authorised assembly and individuals who choose to attend may be liable for obstruction and unlawful assembly offences.’

While the public has a right to protest, NSW Police has called on the community to do so in a peaceful way. 

‘The public are reminded that anyone considering violence, retribution or vigilante behaviour can expect a swift and decisive response from police,’ the statement read.

‘While the NSW Police Force recognises people may want to protest due to recent events both here and overseas, we are asking the community to choose other ways to come together peacefully. 

‘The NSW Police Force will also continue to take strong action against anyone who engages in criminal activity that is motivated by hate.’ 

The social media post received a barrage of comments, with many condemning the apparent call to action. 

NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon urged Australians to resist violence in their response to the shootings. 

‘When I asked for calm, that is really important. This is not a time for retribution,’ Commissioner Lanyon said.

‘This is a time to allow the police to do their duty.’

Commissioner Lanyon added police will be at Cronulla on Saturday – the day the event is set to go ahead.  

‘If people think they’re going to engage in violence, they’re wrong,’ Commissioner Lanyon said.

‘The police will be there, the police will take appropriate action, and I want to make that really clear – calm is what is required at the moment. Retribution is inappropriate.’

NSW Premier Chris Minns also weighed in on the ‘bashing day’, warning anyone planning to attend would be ‘met with the full force of the law’. 

‘There will be no tolerance, no tolerance for any kind of retribution, or some kind of vindictive counterassault on anyone in our community,’ Mr Minns said last week.  

Shaw is next due before court on February 26 next year.
