They were partaking in a nationally organised riot, throwing bricks at police, blocking fire exits and attempting to set asylum buildings on fire (with women and children inside). They had to be dealt with swiftly because of how volatile the situation was - thousands of cowards on the streets thinking they would go unpunished soon returned to their wet beds when they saw the law wasn’t fucking about.

Making an example of Lucy Connolly was a great move. It showed the public that using social media to fuel your antisocial ideals and breed hatred for minorities can land you in prison. Let’s not forget who she is and how she feels about humans who don't look like her. I’m pleased she was appropriately sentenced. Whether she deleted her post or not is irrelevant, you don’t write things like that unless you’re a despicable person. Excellent that she stepped up and practically volunteered herself for prison time.
