I wish the article actually used adjectives to describe who got hurt or who the lifeguards were that got attacked. Every description for both sides is "men", not Anglo-Men then did this or Middle-Eastern Men then attacked but just men. This author couldnt be more vague in this article unless he said human being.
After reading the blogs here it is purely a gang mentality on both sides. The blogs are responding to the beat down of the lifeguards. If you get 6+ people together they will spur each other on to violence. This isnt a Muslim hate crime story, it's a story about gang violence and lack of security at a relaxed beach community.

if so, why are crowds singling out middle-eastern randoms for a bashing?

sometimes, however, best news is acquired threw regular people.
very true; but when you have a crowd of 1000s, many of whome are chanting anti lebanese or middle-eastern slogans, then im inclined to suspect racial motivation. especially since the bashing of lifeguards by (apparently) lebanese youths.
oh, one of our lovely nazi groups was apparently there to show their support too
