EDL thugs at it again, and they want us to think they are not violent?

EDL supporter Anthony Crawford admits hurling firework at anti-Jubilee protestors

A thug has admitted throwing a firecracker during fierce clashes after English Defence League supporters stormed an anti-Jubilee rally.

Anthony Crawford hurled a firecracker into a group of demonstrators at Greys Monument in Newcastle on June 4, 2012. The 22-year-old, of Elmway, Chester-le-Street, Durham, pleaded guilty to the offences at Newcastle Magistrates Court on Thursday, June 28.

An 18-year-old man was taken to Newcastle Freeman Hospital for treatment to burns suffered when the explosive hit his face and landed in his hood.

He was with friends at a “Stuff The Jubilee Party” which was organised on Facebook and due to start at midday. Members of the EDL carrying banners arrived shortly beforehand. A line of around 25 officers separated the two groups.

A 45-year-old-man from South Tyneside was also arrested on suspicion of affray and was bailed pending further enquiries.

Crawford will be sentenced on July 4.

Here’s a long list of the criminal records of known EDL members, including convicted criminals at the most senior levels of the EDL leadership: http://www.facebook.com/groups/260816450675220/doc/262065603883638/ (You may need to log into Facebook to see it).

People generally don’t think the EDL are non-violent; unless those people are sympathisers, or ostriches. What end does cataloguing the various minor crimes of EDL members serve?

@Emperor

As if the EDL didn’t already look bad. I wonder if these guys realize what effect this will have on their image, or if they even care. Glad Crawford will suffer the consequences for his actions, and I hope this ends up leading even more people to despise the EDL.
