Tommy's arrest was super sketchy
He asked the cops if he was in the clear, they said yes. He got arrested and the judge witnessed the "crime" and the arrest

it seems like they were looking for any reason to arrest and sentence the guy to me

He could have escaped if it was just a custodial arrest, but he was on parole

and then proceeded to give him 13 months

With the flash court ruling

so any crime while out

Oh, i wasnt aware he was on parole.

further I've heard rumors of sketchier shit from Dankula, but it's one of those things that you cant confirm

But, here's what I find sketchy

Tommy wasn't alone

there were two other reporters in the exact same area

Working for a sikh news network

With much bigger equipment

For some reason them being there is fine

but for tommy it isn't?

yup, law is definitely not being applied consistently

Also it was a rather short trial

Cant help but really dislike the guy, but yeah, he wasnt treated fairly.

and the lawyer told tommy to plead guilty

Rules for thee, but not for me~

iirc it was said before the incident that if tommy did that again, he would be arrested?

Any custodial crime, yes

Dankula's claim is that the lawyer they gave him was not his own, and that they lied to his lawyer so he wouldnt show up

but we'll have to wait and see if that's true

I'm actually a big fan of tommy's

He's widely misrepresented in the media

Both alternative and mainstream

I don't know enough about Tommy, but he shouldn't have been arrested for what he did. Commentating on a ongoing trial is just the same as any other news media out there, mainstream or alternative >.>

But, the guy is a firebrand

and has done some really stupid shit

I'm not familiar with him, but the laws he was jailed for seem questionably ethical to say the least

thats part of the larger issue regarding laws surrounding media coverage of court cases

I remember when he was still the leader of EDL

He told the racists and nazis to leave, and burned a nazi flag in front of them

Dude was threatened to leave the party or die

xD

But now he's known as the "former leader of the EDL"

Even though he literally told the far righters to leave, and then left himself

I was hoping Majiid Nawaz and Tommy would work more together

If you guys wanna actually know about tommy, he describes himself and his goals here pretty well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YQ94jFg_4A

Huh
