@ForrowStephen @donmcgowan Thought you were anti-fascists that believed in reducing sentences and reliance on incarceration?

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

@BBCNewsnight Who cares whether he finds it divisive.

English is an ethnicity.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

@muhammadbutt Right on cue, its that time of year again.

The annual 'dismantle the English national identity' festival has begun.

@GBullstein @BasilTheGreat The Soviets were also the inventors of 'political correctness'.

It was used as a tool to silence criticism.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

Can't say I disagree.

But two things i) attempted murder does not carry the same sentence as murder, neither does recklessness carry the same sentence as intent; ii) throwing a traffic cone in the direction of the police - whilst surely criminal and deserving of penalty - should not carry a 3-5 year jail sentence.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

@jezzle9 @NickRisdale @donmcgowan Quite. Notice a stark difference.

They were advised to plead 'not guilty'. Every white accused has been advised to plead 'guilty'.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

@RupertSuperBear @cafe_avalon @donmcgowan Yep, more elitist boot-licking twaddle.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

@RupertSuperBear Sounds like a elitist boot-licker.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

@IanDiMaggio @freekeestylee Nah. All politicians across the political spectrum politicise events. Its nothing new.

I believe in the individual and their responsibility for their actions. I don't believe we are mindless servants of the political elite. That's far too easy and lazy.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

I don't see it like that.

I see it as failed and at times deliberately provocative governance. When they govern unfairly, unjustly and set the dogs on a certain demographic and when that demographic's concerns are repeatedly ignored/ demonised or mocked for airing their concerns they will eventually react with anger.

Nothing justifies violence imo - other than self defense - but it can be explained.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

@BARFJAMiN @donmcgowan Yes, I lifted many a traffic cone in my student days. They weigh around 2-3kg.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

@IanDiMaggio @freekeestylee And that outlook is absurd. As absurd as the lashing analogy I gave.

His sentence is set at 3-5 years. Mercy is required to shorten it. It shouldn't be required because the sentence SHOULD be shorter.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

@IanDiMaggio @freekeestylee And by saying he won't serve that long its tantamount to the analogy I gave. That is his projected sentence. Unless he's shown mercy that will be his time in jail.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

@mason_tweet @donmcgowan Then you must know something his Father doesn't.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

@PESNONMODS @donmcgowan Thanks for alerting me.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

@IanDiMaggio @freekeestylee I didn't pluck that number out of thin air. That is what the district CC judge told the defendant.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

@freekeestylee I would expect no less from you. But let me tell you when the fascists come for you, I won't allow our political differences to color my response.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

I agree. But rioting is not throwing a cone in the direction of the police.

The second part of your sentence is absurd.

'He's unlikely to receive all 200 lashes anyway - the doctor will probably stop it after 80 when he passes out or starts bleeding too much.'

You're tacitly admitting the punishment is excessively cruel and disproportionate but then treating that excess as irrelevant or even comforting, because the system might quietly moderate it in practice.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

@moto26261 @KeithRoberts49 @donmcgowan So show me where he did more than throw a traffic cone in the direction of the Police.

[Boxing Bet Guru @Richboxingbets]

You're maybe hitting on something else here. That was the advice given to him by his legal-aid lawyer. To plead guilty to violent disorder for throwing a traffic cone. I saw a lot of this in regards to speech crime.

3-5 years for throwing a traffic cone in the direction of the Police is draconian and indicative of an authoritarian fascist regime.
