"PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOUSE, WE NEED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUSE": A frustrated lone rioter in a car sends a plea out over live stream for backup which will never arrive. #MurdochRiots

The man puts out a final desperate plea for someone to join him before his live feed is cut.

His feed is back, however he's accidentally muted his mic without realising, meaning his calls to arms are going unheard. It's tragic.

Over to another feed from a girl in the group of around 20-30 people yelling "Every day" from a shopping mall carpark.

The small group are arguing over which way to walk. It's utter chaos.

The group is complaining that they don't have a leader. One says "I think this is it for today." Another pleads her to just try to wait for more numbers, says he doesn't want to look like a goose again.

The small group chants "Every Day, Every Day" (except yesterday, today and probably tomorrow).

"We can't stop now, we can't stop now" - after just a few minutes of walking around the carpark, some in the group grow tired. An attempt to start a "fuck Dan Andrews" chant fails to get up. One suggests, "we need to get moving, we can't get drunk here."

"I don't know what's going on, this is a mess." The live streamer says, adding "There's just not enough numbers." She sounds like she's about to leave, asks her friend what the plan is.

For the fourth time, the small group turn around again, retracing their footsteps, begging each other to stick together. Some of them think they're about to be shot.

Media and police on scene, together they outnumber the small group which is now panicking, scrambling and splitting up.

A live streamer is complaining, that "This is how they treat you, this is how the police treat you when you're trying to overthrow your government."

The group in the live feed, which very briefly peaked at possibly up to 40, is now down to just 2 or 3 stragglers playing cat and mouse with police.

The live streamer is delivering a monologue about how the police lack heart, and how they should quit and join his revolution to avoid communism. He looks at a car in the carpark, says it must be an undercover cop car, and finds a way to get away from it. He's on his own now.

A group of picnickers on a pink blanket tells him to go and jump, he responds that he's "media" as he continues to hide from police in a park 😂

Police got him.

Omg he tells them he's media. They ask him for his media pass. He says he doesn't have one. Now completely denies being part of the crowd, says he came to visit his girlfriend 😂

Shit you not. The pink blanket picnic family he called thugs earlier after they told him to go jump, are watching on and must be enjoying the show.

After the dramatic monologue about how police would shoot him, he seems almost disappointed that police let him off with a warning. He says it's because they understand he's media. He says he's leaving 😁

He's asking police to walk him to his car.

They are happy to oblige and help him get to his car. He's still streaming this while being exceedingly friendly to police, no doubt he'll be seen as a snitch by his mates. On his own again, he now says occasionally when you cooperate with them they're able to be nice.

Now the police are out of earshot, he's happy to bitch about them again.

Now he just said "police are absolutely disgusting" thinking they couldn't hear him. They did hear him, they've stopped him again. They're holding him now after he just tried to talk his way out of it again. He was like, relax it's cool, I'm media, they're like ah no.

Police ask him if he drew the eyebrows on his ID. They're taking the absolute piss out of him and he's laughing along with them because he doesn't want to get into trouble.

He tells them he has anxiety, asks if he can go, they tell him no, they're going to hold him and take his details again.

I'm sure the police would love Joel's mates to know how wonderfully cooperative he's being right now. Awesome to see would-be rioters helping police with a positive 'how can I help' attitude.

Good thing he's live streaming it. Unfortunately his stream is no longer a hit with his audience, he's getting some hate for some reason 🤔

Tells police he's feeling anxious so he's only filming for his "projection" (sic). They don't seem to care.

Poor Joel has no idea thousands of people (not on his feed) are watching him unravel and squeal to police to save his own skin, as it's streamed by proxy to an anti-riot audience.
