Man jailed for two years and eight months over Southport riot
John O’Malley, 43, is jailed for 32 months for violent disorder over the riot outside a Southport mosque on 30 July – the day after the stabbing.
The judge says O’Malley was at the front of “what was essentially a baying mob” throwing bricks and wheelie bins.
“You were at the front and participating enthusiastically.”
