Everything Sutherland Shire Facebook Group Falls into Lawless Anarchy as Admins Vanish – Chaos, Conspiracies, and Elmo’s Downfall

The Everything Sutherland Shire Facebook group, once a proud hub of passive-aggressive complaints and suspiciously under-priced secondhand furniture, has descended into complete anarchy after all admins mysteriously quit en-masse - or were perhaps whisked away to the White House press gallery with Donald Trump.
With no one left to enforce the rules, chaos erupted. It began when an anonymous user ranted about a fellow walker at Cronulla Beach who allegedly gave them a sideways look that “felt aggressive.” Within minutes, the post spiralled into madness.
Another user then uploaded a blurry photo of Elmo, claiming the Sesame Street star had also looked at them “weirdly” on the beach. This was followed by a separate post about a kookaburra “laughing outrageously” at someone from a tree on Parramatta Street.
Things escalated when a post appeared showing Elmo being arrested by police under still-unconfirmed circumstances. “You hate to see it,” one commenter wrote. “But let’s be honest, you knew he was up to something.”
Then, in a truly audacious move, another user announced a ‘Charity E-Bike Race’ for “underprivileged children who can’t afford e-bikes,” requesting donations via PayID. A noble cause—if you ignore the fact that underprivileged kids without e-bikes also lack e-bike racing experience.
Meanwhile, the number of “luxury mobile car detailing” businesses has spiralled out of control, with 47 new services launching overnight—each using the exact same stock photos. Some locals suspect it may just be the same guy with a bucket and sponge, rebranding daily.
With no moderators left, the group has devolved into a lawless wasteland of conspiracy theories, unverified crime reports, and an alarming number of people trying to offload the same outdoor wicker lounge for $200.
Authorities are urging locals to step away from the keyboard, but as one group member ominously put it: “Without the admins, only chaos remains.”
