Man who threw stones at police in Hartlepool identified by top

Rachel Masters, prosecuting, said a large protest group had gathered by the Cenotaph in Hartlepool on July 31 and by 19:30 BST it had turned violent.

She said Bishop was identified from footage afterwards because he had his name on the back of his green T-shirt, as well as a distinctive tattoo.

Oh look, the Master Race.

When the headline said "identified by top" I thought something else entirely, what a betrayal and power top move that would have been.

An ex-soldier who threw stones at police during disorder in Hartlepool was identified by his name written on his T-shirt, a court has heard.

Guys if you are looking to riot, use facial recognition to find someone in your area that looks like you. Look through their social media. Get temporary tattoos that looks like theirs. Get a shirt with their name on it.

At least I assume it was accidental. It might have been purposely done.

I will never defend the shit he was rioting for.

But it's true that there is something like mob mentality. I myself have to admit that I did things on (left-radical) demonstrations out of the crowd that I'm not proud of and that are not typical of me.
