Man jailed for four months for a Facebook riot invite
MAXIMUM SENTENCES for rioters are continuing as a 21-year-old man was jailed for four months for posting a riot invitation that appeared on Facebook for 20 minutes.
According to the BBC, Caernarfon magistrates heard that David Glyn Jones of Bangor, Gwynedd, said on the social networking web site, "Let's start Bangor riots."
The invitation was posted as a Facebook 'event' on 9 August.
The court then heard that an ex-colleague of Jones saw the Facebook post and reported it to the police.
Jones admitted the offense under the Communications Act, but his lawyer said he did not think it would be taken seriously. He told police it was "a moment of stupidity" that he regretted.
The court heard that Jones had typed, "I don't see why everyone's complaining about the rioters. Given the chance I'd love to smash up a police car, wouldn't you?"
At least six people in the UK have now been identified and dealt with for using social networks to encourage disorder.
Earlier this month, The INQUIRER reported that while two men had been imprisoned for four years for inciting riots on Facebook, another man got off scot-free after writing a letter of apology, highlighting the capriciousness of the UK's judicial system. µ

It was used post the riots, but some bint from oop north somewhere was filmed on BBC News saying "perhaps if people didn't call them scum they wouldn't act like scum". Unfortunately the journalist did not think quickly enough to tell her that no one was calling them scum until they rioted, afterall, prior to the riots, there was no one to label "rioting scum" was there? it came out of nowhere. Or perhaps she just knows she is scum, as were her kids, and she always be.
THE SEWER SCUM WOULDNT OF INCITED RIOT ON THEIR SMART PHONE?
WHEN YOU GET IN TROUBLE, PUT ON YOUR MOST ERNEST FACE AND APOLOGIZE TO THE MAXIMUM.
ITS A MISTAKE AND IF YOU ACKNOWLEGDE THE GRAVITY AS PROFOUNDLY AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN, THEN YOU MIGHT GET LENIENTCY. POLICE SHUDNT SHOOT 29 YR OLD PEOPLE, BUT THEN AGAIN YOU CAN TURN A GUM SPITTING INCIDENT INTO YOUR STREET EXECUTION, IF YOU ENDEAVOUR ERNESTLY ENOUGH.
LET THE 29 YR OLD MAN WHOM YOU DONT EVEN KNOW SOLVE HIS OWN PROBLEMS, IF HE ACTUALLY EXISTS.
I would appreciate some info (who what when where why) on the police shooting of some 29yr old guy that started these riots.
News outlets in my area don't even mention this aspect of the riots...for some very suspicious reason.
Maybe these criminals will get a dose of reality while in jail or prison for inciting a riot? Most are just sewer scum.
