12 EDL charged with attacking rage against racism concert in Leeds

12?

22.02.2012 17:23

so 12 edl attacked a club with around 60 anti fash in? not exactly smashing fascism are you, if 12 of them had a go at 60 odd.

an

A neo-nazi gets put on his arse with one punch and every antifascist in the area is rounded-up, with 22 charged with CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT VIOLENT DISORDER, and 7 fitted-up, with 6 going to jail. A mob of around 40 EDL try attacking a gig in Leeds with bricks and bottles, breaking windows and injuring several people, and a dozen of them are eventually nicked and charged with AFFRAY! What's the betting none of them spend a day in jail? The scum are in court in Leeds again tomorrow.

...another one for us

Wrong!

22.02.2012 17:37

This wasn't an anti-racist benefit at all. The gig hadn't started so there were only @ 20 people, but @ 30 bottled it from one guy. Tough lads! They ran away hitting a couple of bystanders with bricks and breaking a window. Then they probably chatted shit about it on facebook.

One of those charged is local EDL gobshite Mark 'Darky' Carlton, a 30 year-old bloke who knocks about with teenagers, and who led this misadventure.

rage against racism

this was an all day event, called rage against racism, a fund raiser for the UAF, the oppressed was also playing the event, it was a well publicized and advertised event.

Not a benefit

22.02.2012 18:42

The event may have been called 'Rage Against Racism', but neither the UAF nor any other anti-racist group got a penny from this gig. Bearing in mind the way the gig was promoted there should have been security, but the promoter didn't bother to sort any out. Even so, the EDL were sent packing (and The Oppressed went home with full pockets). RAR2 was better, but again it wasn't a benefit.

The way I heard it some of the old Leeds AFA were so pissed off about having their name used by a small-time capitalist they were talking about turning over the gig themselves.

The money-grabbing cunt who put this gig on has a lot to answer for. He's never even been involved in politics, but spent weeks winding up the edl on facebook, and didn't sort out security despite being warned by loads of people. Thanks to those who saw the edl off, who were just punters like me. If the edl had got in they'd have wrecked the place and it'd have been a great victory for the fascist thugs. In future I'll go to genuine benefits, not fake ones. The Oppressed made £1,000 from this gig, anti-racist groups got sweet FA.

Slim Pickings

What a guy!

22.02.2012 21:39

I heard one anti fascist chased off 2,000 EDL, not before knocking out a hundred of them out, with both arms tied behind his back.
Then he went back inside where some one ask what happened, ''just all in a day's work'' he said, as he munched on his vegan pie.

Joe

eh?

22.02.2012 21:40

"....it'd have been a great victory for the fascist thugs."

So what exactly does amount to a "great victory" when anti-fasc and fascists get together for a big gang bang. I mean, is it like you all stand off and chant at each other, then its sort of a democratic crowd decision about who "won"?

Victory to me.... means the other side loses. That means either dead or surrendering and taken as prisoners.

I have absolutely no idea what it means to fascists and anti-fascists. Is the losers the ones that get arrested or something? Or do you win by shouting the most put-downs?
None of this sounds like a victory. It just sounds like you all go home at the end of the day and both sides havn't actually gained ground over the other.

"Why don't you just ask your wanker EDL mates what happened Joe?"

Anyone who thinks this kind of response to an entirely reasonable parody is appropriate is clearly neither anarchist nor antifascist. Presumably one of those insurrectionist posers.

Not sure what happened in court, maybe adjourned, but just bumped into a couple of the silly boys and (as well as crapping themselves) they were both close to tears.

LOL!

Grooming

23.02.2012 14:28

I wonder if the EDL are going to protest outside the court ? It looks more like a grooming case looking at the ages of the co defendants ...what the fuck is going on when a 30 yr old is leading a load of kids to attack a gig and then onto a jail sentence ? I bet the main man has got a right rep in football circles ,Regards COG.

Watmough was skulking round the outdoor market, first time the dirty tramp has been seen in ages, probably hoping to get some new swazi badges off the militaria bloke who's selling them on Thursdays.

I thought I had replied to this before , But obviously some have not read my message. This WAS an anti racism gig , and it WAS a success . I was on the door from the minute it opened alongside some old school Leeds Anti Fascists . The anti fa group in question did recieve cash which is common knowledge . The thing I dont get is that people seem to be attacking the organisers and not the braindead imbeciles who turned up and tried to spoil the gig . There are so many lies and bullshit here, Its hard to know where to start , So I will finish instead . I myself lost over a grand doing the gig , so if anything , I am a failed capitalist . I paid a representative of Group 635 , and also raised cash for them at the next alldayer with the Upstarts. I gave them 25 tickets which they solf before the day of the gig , and they also did a stall , recieved donations etc , so if it wasnt an anti racist gig . What the fuck was it ? Maybe you guys should put your own Anti racist gig on as I obviously dont know what the fuck I am doing /

why the attack on the gig ?

23.02.2012 18:07

It seems to me that if it raised awareness if nothing else, then it served its purpose . Stop trashing each other when some people are trying to make a difference. I can now see why the Anti fa people I know avoid Indymedia like the plague

kinda confused

Confused?

23.02.2012 18:35

You're confused because your being lied to by an arch liar and well known rip-off merchant Slippery Stevie Cauldwell. He's never ever been a antifacist or anarchist, he's just a junkie chancer who shit his pants when some footie lads turned up. The only thing this gig raised awareness of was how NOT to organise a gig. Still talking to the cops Stevie?

Steve

still confused

23.02.2012 19:01

@steve

I am still confused , As it is obvious you are a troll as anyone who knows stevie caldwell would at least know how to spell his name . I met him once in prison , and he seemed a nice enough bloke . I am still confused as to the real reason you are attacking him ? Did the gig fail to raise awareness ? were there nazis present ? Are you bitter about summit or what ? Is this what indymedia is all about ?

still confused

23.02.2012 19:07

WTF . I have heard so much about dodgy trolls on this site ? Talking to the police ? Junkie ? never an anti fascist ? you are right , I have never been an anarchist though . Steve , whatever I may or may not have done , I have done a hell of a lot more than you . Declare yourself or confront me, but writing shite on here, cmon you utter loser. I am glad that the anti fascists I do know tend to steer clear of this sorta crap . This is my last post on the subject steve or whatever your name is . Drop me an email unless of course you are an internet warrior hiding on the internet like so many others xxx

It requires years of thankless hard work, there's a strong chance of being locked-up, and there's no pay. If you think you're up to the job I'll meet you outside The Angel tomorrow at 3pm.

Contact your local Anti-fascist group - you'll need to pass a trial of endurance to join so should be pretty fit and healthy. You then get to wear a special pin identifying you as an elite member of the anti-fasc
