I initially clocked he was dressed far too smart for it to be you He was in the latest Polo Sport riot range. I like the slight deflection the first rock takes off the top of the shield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The misinformation caused the riots but the people of Southport are pulling together in the clean up. These riots have taken away the focus from the victims. I think the perpetrator should be punished severely. I don't give a damm If he's got mental health problems. The world is a better place without these type of people. Imagine the pain of your child being murdered in such a heinous way and then seeing this unfold as a result. For shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Was at one of my meetings tonight where politics is a big no no . Anyway it got quite political from the start with one bloke clearly in rage at what had happened . Then another bloke after who works with children in tears. The feeling is strong on this one.

Still don't really see what the "political" angle is. How did it "get quite political"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To cut a long story short he blamed immigration which got another one going who had been down London marching last weekend. The meetings are not for politics. Went there for a bit of peace but came away all worked up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A racist dimwit decided to lash out at the world a bit because he's a racist dimwit. That's not political. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not political. The topic of immigration is political though and if someone is blaming immigration of course it's political. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i said when its a horrific crime like this they should lose that right. Protections are in place for reasons such as innocent until proven guilty or people being under 18 being more vulnerable themselves (criminals still have some rights) or for fear that public reaction might jeopardise the trial. Where does the line get drawn on when to release the name, at what age (17 and a day or 17 and 340 days etc) or for what crimes? The only person who should be deciding that is a judge, who is trained to make decisions like that without an emotional reaction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Start lowering stuff and you’ll end up with a free for all . If it’s 17 few years down the line people will be saying it should be 16 etc etc until just being born lands you a conviction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do suspect that if found guilty they will release his name to public due to how heinous the crime was. Personally would send him straight to adults jail so how tough he is there. They dont like child murderers there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy in the grey on the right was trying to give it large by the looks of things and it all went wrong! Good to see the caring side of the rioters afterwards though. Good lads, probably do a lot for charity. Look after their mothers. Edited August 1 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
