Far-right response to Southport Outrage And Ongoing Violent Disorder

Because the OB might have to foot the bill
And this is infuriating. It either is or isn't, presumably there is set criteria on if it's a or b but of course you have your wiggle room, your get out clauses and your "if, buts and maybes" so you can apply to suit your needs.

Can it be contested?
 
Someone got 3 years for the Southport riot. Here come the quick, big sentence deterrents.

Yeh 3 years serve maybe 40% out on licence after. Big deterrent sentences are 10 years for riot. Shammer's lying -again - about full force of the law
 
Don't know why they're not being charged with riot if shammer is to be believed about full force of the law
Yeh. But vd max 5 years, riot 10. Rachel Reeves has had a hand in charging advice I think. 3 year sentence out in maybe 15 months
I'm happy with three to five. It will deter a lot of those who were thinking of doing similar shit.

3 years is fuck all, be out in a few months. For mnu of them it won't be their first time inside, can't see them giving much of a shit really.
 
When I signed-up for the job I thought I'd be infiltrating international cartels and foreign state spy rings.

Instead I've spent over 20 years reporting on hobnobs, baked potato fillings, and the potential for insurrection within Dulwich Hamlet Football Club.
Cheese then beans is a thought crime

I disagree. The charges are clearly a political decision in light of prison population and liability for damages. The charges brought attract a fraction of 'the full force of the law'. It'll deter your common or garden racist. Perhaps. But there's clearly two tier policing in that were it black or brown people rioting heavier charges and sentences would be laid

The third has been given 20 months.

Derek Drummond has been jailed for three years for taking part in the violent disorder in Southport.

He is the first offender to be sent to prison for that offence since the trouble began.

He has also been sentenced to two months for punching a police officer - to run concurrently.
Declan Geiran has been jailed for 30 months - 28 months for violent disorder and setting fire to a police van in Liverpool, and a further two months in relation to a conviction for malicious communication.

Liam Riley has been jailed for 20 months, including two months for the racially aggravating element for this offending.

If I was the fash I'd be dropping all of the editors of the national and regional newspapers a 'thank you' for blasting their 'planned events' across the media. Gullable idiots on twitter etc the same.

Some of these mobilisations, like the risible claim that they were going to show in Small Heath on Monday are just fantasy. Some seem designed to bring anti fascists/minority groups onto the streets presumably to tie up police resources/wrong foot counter protests/spark trouble that they can use on SM as evidence of 'two tier policing'. Some might even happen organically - without the need for any far right resources - thanks to the free publicity as locals turn up for the row.

In all the talk of state led SM bans, calls to bring the army onto the streets, the 'full force of the law', ban Twitter etc nobody has asked whether or not its wise to freely/hysterically publicise this stuff. It isn't. I'm always bemused why and how any balloon can post details of an event and its just spread everywhere by the press and those supposedly opposed to the fash.
The list seems to be either a) random nonsense b) misinformation c) something implying central coordination and actual strategy (as in this list is a shift away from the early riots). I doubt there could be sufficient agreement between the fash for C) to happen, so I'm edging towards a lone fash splurging his fantasies. Though as discussed earlier, there's always a chance that shite imitates art and a few do turn up. I suspect something will happen tonight, perhaps away from these 'targets'.
 
"28 months for violent disorder and setting fire to a police van"

28 months for arson? :eek:.

bit on the lenient side isn't it? Quite a bit nearer the 'Discharge' than the life imprisonment despite there being a riot going on at the time.

Arson (criminal damage by fire)​



Criminal Damage Act 1971, s.1(1) and (3)

Guideline effective from: 01 October 2019

This is a Schedule 19 offence for the purposes of sections 274 and 285 (required life sentence for offence carrying life sentence) of the Sentencing Code.
Triable either way
Maximum: Life imprisonment
Offence range: Discharge – 8 years’ custody

lucky he didn't nick a bottle of water at the same time

yes its fuck all by comparison - get ready to be annoyed day in day out as the sentences come through

as expected though, was said on the thread on day one
 
hmm. I think there is a good chunk of people at these things for whom a prison sentence would be a decent deterrent. it's not all hardened criminals.

Yeah I really don't think there's a lot of people out there who wouldn't be bothered by getting a three year prison sentence tbh.

It's about the likelihood of getting caught really isn't it. Being in a crowd like that makes people feel powerful and untouchable - safety in numbers. If the people alongside you start getting picked off though you're going to lose that feeling, for most it's not going to need decade long sentences for that to be the case.
