Tommy Callaghan was captured on video in a 'large and aggressive mob' on 30 July in Southport.
A man who joined in racist chants and threw objects at police during disorder in Southport has been jailed.
Tommy Callaghan, 32, of Platt Bridge, Wigan, appeared via videolink from HMP Altcourse at Liverpool Crown Court. Footage was played showing him in a "large and aggressive mob" on 30 July, after a vigil had taken place for three girls killed in a knife attack in the town.The riot broke out after hundreds had gathered for a vigil to remember Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, who were stabbed to death at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class a day earlier.
He added: "You picked up part of a brick, threw it at police, then picked up a second missile even before the first had landed." Peter White, defending, said Callaghan had put his gas engineering business, which employs three people, and the mortgaged home he shares with his partner and nine-month-old daughter at risk.Mr White said the defendant had no racially or religiously prejudiced beliefs but had "gone along with the mob".
