>Gibson, wearing a distinctive bright green jacket, was caught on camera running about the chaos, hurling bricks and debris at police officers while joining in with racist chants of “we want our country back” and “Allah, Allah, who the f*** is Allah”. He appeared at Liverpool Crown Court today, September 9, where he joined several other rioters behind bars after pleading guilty to violent disorder.
>Prosecutor Louise McClusky said: “Gibson was identifiable on the day due to a distinctive green top with a yellow zig-zag pattern. He was an active participant throughout. He was part of the main crowd instigating violence towards police. In the footage he can be seen bouncing on his toes, apparently revelling in the chaos. He points towards officers and joined in chants.”
>Video footage was played to the court showed Gibson running about at the front of the baying crowd, grabbing a wheelie bin and pushing it at a police van. He was also seen jumping up and down and clapping his hands, and hurling missiles towards the police. Around 50 officers were injured during the violence; residents’ properties were damaged, local businesses were looted, and a £100k police carrier was set on fire.
>Gibson, a dad of two, repeatedly sighed and scoffed throughout the hearing as Ms McClusky informed the court of his four convictions for six past offences, including the racially aggravated assault of a taxi driver.

I wonder if it were a hardback, or possibly leather bound?
He got 30 months in prison, so he’ll serve about a year. Given his previous convictions I’m guessing he’ll be back there not long after.
The fact he’s a dad is irrelevant, it should be “Arsehole threw missiles…”
I get the feeling that not enough people are full of regret, shame and disgust beforehand to stop them acting like complete bell ends rather than when they’re probably told to have such sentiments afterwards.
The mob seems to be a powerful drug.
I find it very rich that a lot of these blokes who have been sentenced already had previous convictions. They’re tearing up our towns because they don’t like certain people in there and want us to stop funding them, but at the same time they’re all unemployed tax burdens themselves.
