Reading the judgement http://www.judiciary.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/5299518C-5C4B-43B0-B22D-0EF69DA06124/0/rvblackshawothers.pdf

It appears the facebook two, have been punished for the complete mahem that they tried to emulate in thier own area.

on one side they failed to caues thier local riot

On the other side, with a continued depressed economy there needs to be a deterrant from repeat behavior. They did not have personal hardship causing them to riot. If they had been thrown out of thier homes and been abandoned by the state they would have some justification to riot.

 

The other point that makes me weep is when I read of persistant offenders being jaild after 200 offences! If persistant offenders were taken seriously then these riots would not have spread in a wild fire fashion. Many of the "rioters" did not understand the relationship between crime and punishment as previously there has been none.
