As for the what could have happened bit, I don't really see it as that, what I see it as is people actively trying to organize another mob of vandals and robbers, during a time when it was rampant across Britain.

Fair enough, maybe I'm just too liberal

This is comparing some of the sentences given to rioters to sentences given to non rioters, I know it's 4 years but others who commited the same crime as these did get 4

Riots
Jordan Blackshaw, 21, from Marston, and Perry Sutcliffe-Keenan, 22, from Warrington, were each jailed for four years at Chester Crown Court on Tuesday after setting up Facebook pages encouraging a riot in Northwich. Although the police were the only ones who arrived at the proposed rendezvous, the pair were both arrested.
Non-riots
Tesfaye Bramble, the brother of footballer Titus, was jailed for four and a half years on 5 August for the rape of a 19-year-old who told the court: "I cried like I've never cried in my life."
Rajinder Dutt, 31, was jailed for four years for supplying heroin in November 2008. Dutt, from Leicester, was part of a £10m operation which brought Class-A drugs with a value of £1.3m into Gloucestershire.

There's a huge drug dealing operation right there that only got 4 years
And like I said in my reply to Jack, I think it's blurring the lines between potential crimes and actual crimes
