racist remarks towards a hotel housing asylum seekers. The hotel claimed no damages.
Video footage showed Jordan throwing a missile in the direction of the hotel, which he claimed was an apple core, shouting “fucking pedos” towards the hotel and telling police officers to “fuck off.”
Prosecution barrister Fiona Cortese told the court that during a police interview, Jordan said he had not planned to attend the protest and that he was an “angry old man shooting his mouth off” and “acting like a complete twat.”
Sentencing Jordan, Judge John Edwards said; “You rightly hung your head in shame as we watched the video. I have looked with care at the footage. You are front and center of this baying mob for an hour and a half. Your comments were ‘racist and profoundly offensive.’”
In another case, a tree surgeon had been sentenced to 16 months imprisonment after pleading guilty to violent disorder. Bradley Halton, 28, was filmed chanting “who the fuck is Allah” and shouting “racist” remarks at police officers during the unrest last month.
Footage played at court on Tuesday showed the defendant wearing his T-shirt wrapped around his head and wearing a surgical mask.
