Stabbings - UK & Worldwide

Icegas I try never to be patronising. I try to have a level headed conversation as I would with my mates at the pub.
And we argue from different perspectives but always walk away friends.
I just find that you take offence so quickly when someone disagrees with you.
Whether you like it or not, if you ask 100 people from all sides of the political spectrum, your views are right to far right. 
That doesn't mean you are racist, that's your interpretation of the responses you get.
You see my replies as left to far left or if you ask Bas I'm woke.
He thinks it's an insult, to me it means I actually give a sh!t about other people and their struggles in life.
Don't get childish if people disagree with you, just respond to their posts. If you are actually insulted then do report it, we do discuss reports and act!

The government has activated emergency measures to ease prison overcrowding in parts of northern England

Operation Early Dawn will see defendants waiting for a court appearance kept in police cells until prison space is available, as more appear in court over recent rioting

Tracy Pearson and Michelle Jobson - accused of being "agitators" by prosecutors - are due to be sentenced for violent disorder in Manchester

Also in Manchester, 35-year-old Thomas Ward will be sentenced for violent disorder and exposure after he exposed his genitals at police officers

So far, more than 470 people have been charged with offences following riots in England, the Crown Prosecution Service says

To be honest France those stats made me laugh as well

So why post them?

Man jailed for Sunderland 'orgy of violence' as more in court over riots..by Mark Denten, BBC Look North.

A 32-year-old man is sentenced to two years and two months for his part in the Sunderland riots.

Dean Groenewald, of no fixed address, had previously pleaded guilty to violent disorder.

Newcastle Crown Court heard Groenewald picked up a paving brick or stone and threw it towards the police lines during a riot on 2 August, which was captured in body-worn footage.

Groenewald has 30 previous convictions including for affray, criminal damage and common assault and was on licence for a previous offence at the time of the Sunderland disorder.

Passing the sentence, Judge Paul Sloan KC said Groenewald, who is unemployed, was at “the forefront of a mob in front of the police lines” and had his hood up.

He said Groenewald had participated in “an orgy of violence, destruction and disorder” that had brought shame on the city of Sunderland.

And another one.

The general consensus amongst whom ?   simpletons looking for an easy answer which blames people that they dont like and ignores the drunks and chavs that we see going through the courts.

I do wonder how the 2011 riots spread around the country for several days without Andrew Tate,Nigel Farage etc 'fanning the flames'...

Men who attacked Rotherham asylum seeker hotel jailed as more appear in court..by Thomas Mackintosh and Sean Seddon

Niven Matthewman, 19, (left of the picture above) was part of the violent mob that gathered outside the Holiday Inn Express in Manvers, Rotherham on 4th August.

Matthewman, of Albert Street, Swinton, was filmed carrying around a large piece of wood and throwing a chair towards the hotel which was believed to house around 200 asylum seekers at the time.

He also participated in chanting "Yorkshire, Yorkshire" and in violently rocking a police dog van from side to side.

The court heard the two officers who were inside the vehicle together with a police dog "feared for their lives".

A YouTube compilation also showed Matthewman draped in an England flag while the song "Bang Bang" by Ariana Grande, Jessie J and Nicki Minaj played.

Matthewman, who had no previous convictions, had pleaded guilty to violent disorder at Barnsley Magistrates' Court on 14th August.

He is sentenced to two years and eight months in a young offender institution and made subject of a criminal behaviour order for 10 years.

The Recorder of Sheffield, Judge Jeremy Richardson KC, told the defendant his conduct had been "shameful", adding: "You were a participant in a very serious incident.

"You were not a bystander, you were well to the fore."


A rioter who “commandeered” a police riot shield had attended the public disorder outside a hotel in Rotherham while on licence for drug offences.

Nathan Palmer, 29, (on the right of the picture above) was part of a group of hundreds who descended on the Holiday Inn Express in Manvers, Rotherham, on 4th August.

Police body-worn footage captured the self-employed tradesman picking up a police riot shield after an officer fell to the ground and dropped it.

Palmer, of New Street, Hemingfield, previously pleaded guilty to violent disorder and has today been jailed for two years and eight months.

Sheffield Crown Court heard Palmer’s custodial sentence would have an impact on the end-of-life care of his elderly grandmother who has dementia and has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Recorder of Sheffield Judge Jeremy Richardson KC, told Palmer: “What possessed you to participate in this crime can only be described as comprehensive stupidity.

“The simple fact of the matter is, however, you did participate and you were well to the fore, in consequence of which you must now be punished.”
