the sentence is extremely harsh, however, you have to question why an ill grandfather decided to go to a place where there was a riot happening. Clearly not good for his mental and physical health.
Reading the report he also pleaded guilty - i know he may have been advised to do so but this was clearly his choice and hardly the actions of an innocent man
Prison sentences for insulting words is not something I support......Let alone the outrage of giving this guy 32 months. If it were down to me this judge along with others would be immediately out on his ear.
You say he went to where a 'riot' was happening, but this is after the fact reasoning. Did he know he was going to a 'riot' or did this happen around him? He certainly had no part in a riot. He himself did not engage in violent action and the idea that someone should be sent to prison for being angry protesting the murder of children is again....outrageous.
We have Islamic protests a little white before with plenty of very angry words chanted and absolutely no arrests for it let alone prison sentences.
I get the impression that they grabbed him precisely because it's easy to pick out the old ill slow movers.
He is responsible for his behaviour, sure, but so are the highly paid actors for the state and I suggest that what they did to him amounts to such extreme and out of proportion measures that it put this vulnerable man at considerable risk....which we now see has resulted in his death.
Your last point is the most egregious one, how can you sit there and type that? Don't you understand the cost of the legal system for working people? Hell, you say he should have gone to trial when we see how biased and determined the system was to punish the old white guy fond of conspiracy? Don't you understand that when your brief is telling you what course of action you should take that going against that amounts to needing specialised knowledge? I shouldn't even have to make these points.
It's only now when looking at what has happened that we can observe that these men and women were stitched up.....The judges appear to have ignored guilty pleas and just given them ridiculous sentence lengths anyway. Mainstream outlets filmed these judges sentencing these people to harsh terms....that appears to have been done for intimidation's sake.....the establishment deliberately picking on a specific demographic which they hold in contempt.
Again, the statements made by both the PM and the Met Chief and the subsequent behaviour of their highly paid legal lackeys need close analysis and personally I feel that this country let these people down......and especially the so called caring left.
Evil that thinks it's good.
