The British paper The Times reported earlier this week:
A girl aged 13 who joined a far-right protest outside a Hampshire hotel became the youngest female rioter to be convicted after she admitted violent disorder on Tuesday.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was among a volatile crowd that gathered outside Potters International Hotel in Aldershot on July 31.
The child defendant, from Aldershot, appeared at Basingstoke magistrates’ court, sitting as a youth court, on Tuesday accompanied by her mother and stepfather. She appeared nervous and fidgeted in her chair during parts of the hearing. The girl confirmed her name and age and entered a guilty plea to a single charge of violent disorder.
Kerry Richardson, for the prosecution, told the court that if the girl had been an adult she would be facing two years in custody because of the “serious nature” of offending.
District Judge Tim Pattinson told the girl to “co-operate” with probation and said she must attend the next court hearing otherwise she would be committing a criminal offence.
Thomas Power, a senior crown prosecutor, said: “This alarming incident will have caused genuine fear amongst people who were being targeted by these thugs — and it is particularly distressing to learn that such a young girl participated in this violent disorder.”
British courts have also established a rigid precedent that has shown their willingness to condemn people who were at these demonstrations but did absolutely nothing.
Gary Harkness, a 51-year-old retired Army veteran, was arrested after bodycam footage showed he pushed against an officer holding a riot shield, used profanity, and tried to help pick up a man who had fallen down.
The Telegraph reported:
The court heard that Harkness, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, was “steaming drunk” after downing up to 18 cans and three quarters of a bottle of tequila with a friend before going into the city.
Judge Robert Linford described Harkness as being the “least involved” in terms of “direct violence” to come before him, and acknowledged that he was not associated with either “faction”, nor had he attended the riot “with the intention of starting or being involved in any trouble”.
But handing down his sentence to Harkness, who pleaded guilty to violent disorder at an earlier hearing, Judge Linford said: “Of the people I have thus far sentenced, you are the person who provides me with the most difficulty because it cannot be levelled at you that you hit anyone, neither have you thrown anything, neither is it said that you spat at anybody.
“But it is accepted by you that you were a party to this disorder and I have to sentence you on that basis, and you know that anyone party to it has to receive a custodial sentence.”
Harkness thanked the judge as he was led away.
To Aug 13, 1,024 arrests had been made and 575 charges had been brought in the wake of the disorder, the National Police Chiefs’ Council said.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Proverbs 28:15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
The U.K.’s overhanded approach is designed to quash all dissent, to force the masses into subjection and not revolt against the absurdities of their tyrannical and wicked government. And since the protests are not large enough, they can be contained and those involved can be isolated. Not enough are willing to come forward to demand a change. Thus, the police state and the oppression grows, as the people continue to remain obstinate and heart-hardened, unwilling to return to the biblical standards of truth and righteousness, and have a fear of God.
Only when access to food ceases, whether through hyperinflation or famine, or a combination of both, will there be much, much larger upheaval and calls.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Aren’t these the same people’s that reject Jesus Christ and love their sin? Riots are not necessary in a God fearing country.
God is the author of Liberty, Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Matt 15:14 KJB1611
Oh I’m not arguing with that, I’m just pointing out what’s going on. We’ve gotten to this because generations of people have allowed this to occur because they reject God’s word, and it will not change until that happens.
Amen! I meant my comment in full support of your article, in cas it didn’t translate as so.
They mock us saved when we tried to warn them and now look how they’re crying and in chaos over 10 nongrievous commandments that would put the entire earth at peace.
Corruption is the result of sin. But the world is so far gone and out of touch with history that they will surely think the alt right is Christianity.
Satan has made a mess of the word Christianity.
That is absolutely correct, Bushel. They reject and despise God and His true word the King James Bible, and they love and promote sins of all sorts without a shred of guilt or shame and not one spot of the fear of the Lord.
Drunkenness, pornography, LGBTQIA, feminism, abortion, sorcery, and too many more sins to count that they practice and try to defend regularly. So as a result, God allows these evils to befall them as His judgement.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
