What is up with the judge?

Violent racist gets arrested and sentenced for being a violent racist, despite lying about being a peacemaker. Where is the 'genuine tragedy'?
A judge said it was a 'genuine tragedy' that father-of-two Colin Brown, from Northern Moor, who has been left with PTSD after being shot during a tour of Afghanistan, had ended up behind bars.

Assume this caveat.
 
The defendant took part in what was described in court as a 'far right' protest which gathered in Piccadilly Gardens on August 3 but it clashed with a group of pro-Palestine counter demonstrators
Later he was captured involved in a verbal confrontation with a woman of Syrian heritage in which he described the British government as 'scumbags'
Brown called her a 'terrorist slag' as the rest of his group also verbally abused the woman and her friend, who was of Nigerian decent.
He was captured shouting 'stop raping the women or kids' and shouting to one rival 'come here you f***ing idiot'.
When Brown was later arrested, he insisted he had intended to join a 'peaceful protest' and that he had acted as a 'peacemaker'
Don't worry judge, I wasn't intending to be a violent & hateful cretin that day :lol: How thick are these people?

The guy doesn't believe/accept he's a racist..... that's the tragedy!

There are perhaps many others in the same state of denial or lack of understanding of what they are feeling, never mind doing, is wrong.
Suspect sending him to jail (if he ever gets there!) will not lead to a 'conversion', just reinforce his feeling of.... whatever it is, he is feeling.

Unfortunately many more is this country are in a 'dark place' and it's getting worse.... Starmer's plans to 'move the dial' must not fail.... other's are waiting in the wings!
