I’d give them 8 at least, if they behave well. Big ask that.

Enoch Burke.
A christian, employed as a teacher. He has some old fashioned beliefs regarding Transgenderism. And pays a very heavy price. 500 days in jail and now a hefty fine.
A harsh sentence ? Enoch never assaulted anybody, never robbed anybody, never even shouted nor threatened anybody. Never sold drugs, never committed a sex-crime against another person.
He merely chose to stand by his beliefs and his opinions - and he got a bit thick about it.

He isn’t though just a “Christian Teacher”!
He is a fundamentalist activist who has refused to pay fines legally imposed on him by the State, thus putting him in contempt of court. It’s for the contempt that he was jailed, not for holding his opinions.
We are all free to hold and to express our opinions, provided done legally. We are not free to ignore the law. That’s what democracy demands from us. No one is excluded.
He deserves no sympathy whatsoever.

Self-censored as I will be held in contempt myself.

6 months just to get to trial. Is that real fast-tracking to send a message to people who assault police ? And make no mistake, those police officers came very close to taking an absolute beating. A real panic situation for them, and thankfully one of them was able to successfully deploy his taser, ..in the nick of time.
Or is 6 months to trial , hoping people might have forgotten about it, and they can put it well away from the headlines when it comes to verdicts and sentencing ?
We'll see what the justice system thinks, but this is a 2 tier media also.

His legal persecution is in Ireland, not under our laws. As Ireland is in the EU, it is not a democracy.

ABH is a bad one. 8 years and 11 years I reckon and that is about right.

by woke judges. Judges who were appointed by woke politicians. 500 days in jail, locked up with murderers and rapists. Which is worse......getting a parking fine or refusing to refer to a he/she as a 'they' ?

If you think I was being lenient then you’ve talked me round already.

That and the resilience and determination of the other male officer to keep going and subdue the suspects in the face of such aggression and violence. I think his actions helped deter some of the onlookers who, had the officers own showing been pathetic or underwhelming, would’ve taken an absolute beating with some of the onlookers joining in. The fact some of the officers were carrying firearms…that scenario doesn’t bear thinking about!
