A judge has warned that anybody present at a riot will be remanded in custody, even if they were only a “curious observer”.
District Judge Francis Rafferty said that someone’s presence at a riot made them involved in the riot as he refused two bail applications.
The judge spoke as four men appeared in Belfast magistrates’ court charged in relation to disorder in the city.
Cameron Armstrong, 18, from Belfast, was charged with rioting in the Connswater area of east Belfast, which saw “violent disorder, petrol bombs, fireworks and different projectiles thrown at police and extensive damage caused to property”, the court heard. ‘Periphery of the scene’
Armstrong’s solicitor said that his client had never come to the attention of the police before, adding that while he admitted he was on the “periphery” of the scene, he denied being involved in any of the disorder.
When asked by the judge what he was doing at the scene, the defence solicitor told the court that Armstrong had gone to the area “to have a look”, adding that he had left when petrol bombs were thrown.
Judge Rafferty said: “He doesn’t have to throw a petrol bomb or brick to be involved in disorder, if he’s present at disorder.”

His old man would make his views known..that’s for bloody damn sure!
Wrongthink! Guilty, off to the Ministry of Love!
The UK seems to be going full totalitarian. It’s up to the people to fix this.
It happened here. The J6 political prisoners are being screwed over.
The white people are the criminals becasue their country has been taken from them and they’ve just realized the illegal immigrants are banning Beer and Homosexuality.
Had no idea.
Sounds like King Charles has converted to Islam.
If so, he is no longer Head of the Church of England. Can’t be both.
Perhaps start referring to the UK as the ‘CAROLINIAN CALIPHATE’.
Maybe that would get their attention. Treat him the same as his namesake.
“Instead of sitting down and considering the grievances of the so called “far right thugs” who don’t want to be crushed under Islam, the idiots and ideologues in the British “government” are doubling down on their draconian policies against indigenous Brits. Brilliant!”
Oh, the irony. The fascist/leftist Brits are probably using the Yanks’ example of how to deal with J6’ers here in the USA as their model for “”democracy”” in the UK.
Something is very wrong with the DOJ. Why isn’t Ray Epps being arrested for his group with megaphones encouraging protesters to storm the Capitol Bldg? Is it because Nanc was running the show?
Exactly like that.
Just as here, tyrants in black robes cannot be ignored.
It should also include the cops because that’s what so very many of them do: Watch.
Well, that coffee mug is criminally ugly.
Will they also be denied bail, or are some animals more equal than others in Merry Ol' England?
What in the world going on in the UK. Have they lost their collective minds?
Looks like these folks are going to be the J6er’s of the UK.
They are, like the US, in the end game of a totalitarian takeover.
Stop oil eco-maggots blocked highways for months and months with no consequences or jail time
While anti-migrant protesters are getting instant expedited jail/no bail and prison time. Adjudicated within a week.
F UK and the UK communist-Labor government that just got elected last month. They are doing a J6 on these protesters.
I know you were kidding.
You will be refused bail even if you only watched riots from the sidelines, judge warns

“A judge has warned that anybody present at a riot will be remanded!”
It is past time for our UK cousins to have another revolution in the UK to dispose of Judges like this rectum.
Like in Orwell’s 1984…you will be arrested for “thought crimes”. It is sad that the UK which stood firm against the Nazis 90 years ago has become like the Nazis.
