UK: 15-Year-Old Boy Now First Person Charged with Rioting Over Anti-Stabbing Protests

Is this going to work?

This government plan to just mass imprison anyone who disagrees with the UK immigration invasion agenda?

It seems like a recipe for mass civil unrest, which will reach a point where it is impossible for such large numbers of people to be imprisoned.

But maybe not?

I guess it depends on how much the protesters feel they have to lose.

If they feel they have little or nothing to lose, this brutal crackdown is just going to make everything a lot worse in the short and medium term.

The Guardian:

A 15-year-old boy has become the first person to be charged with riot over the recent disorder that swept towns and cities across England.

Almost all those involved have so far been charged with violent disorder, which carries a shorter maximum sentence than the offence of rioting. On Wednesday a judge, the recorder of Hull, suggested that prosecutors should consider the riot charge for people alleged to have played a central role in the disorder.

On Thursday the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said that a 15-year-old boy had been charged with riot after disorder in Sunderland. It said more riot charges would follow.

The riot charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years, whereas for violent disorder the maximum is five years. The boy’s defence lawyer, Chris Wilson, told a hearing that the new charge may have “far wider repercussions”.

Gale Gilchrist, the chief crown prosecutor for CPS North East, said: “Following a review of further evidence, the Crown Prosecution Service has today laid a charge of riot in relation to a 15-year-old boy, following disorder that took place in Sunderland on 2 August.

“This is the first such charge to be authorised by the Crown Prosecution Service in the wake of recent unrest.”

Alastair Simpson, an assistant chief constable of Northumbria police, said: “I hope this sends a really strong message that, no matter how old you are, if you took part in the recent appalling events in Sunderland, you will face really serious charges.”

“We don’t care, we will imprison teenagers to make an example that opposition to mass immigration will never be tolerated.”

It’s a bold move.
