Man Sentenced for Attacking Police Van

In a recent series of court proceedings, judges have expressed strong disapproval of violent behavior during riots in Hull, with one judge labeling the actions of three jailed men as “utterly deplorable.” The Hull Crown Court heard harrowing accounts of police officers being bombarded with missiles while protecting a hotel housing asylum seekers. Among those sentenced was 41-year-old Daniel Carrigan, who received a two-year and eight-month sentence for throwing objects at a police van while under the influence of cocaine. In Liverpool, a judge condemned a 38-year-old man to three years in prison for attacking a police vehicle with a concrete block, describing the incident as “as bad a case as I have seen so far.” The violent unrest in Hull also saw looting and families forced to barricade themselves in their homes as chaos erupted in the streets. The court proceedings reflect a growing concern over public safety and the impact of such violence on communities. Meanwhile, in Pakistan, authorities have arrested Farhan Asif, linked to a controversial website, Channel3Now, accused of inciting the UK riots through disinformation. Prosecutors allege that Asif's online activities aimed to glorify the arrest of a Muslim asylum seeker, contributing to public panic and insecurity. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of violent disorder but remains in custody following a judge's decision to revoke his bail. As the legal repercussions unfold, the connection between social media disinformation and real-world violence continues to be scrutinized, highlighting the challenges faced by law enforcement in maintaining public order.
