Nothing even happened as a result of this, and 3 years? That's the kind of sentence that drug dealers get, that rapists sometimes get, it's the kind of sentence that is given for assault or a knife attack, crimes that do actually have serious consequences

Well, tbh I think that those crimes you've listed, especially the violent ones, should have even higher sentences, but that's for another day!

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.
