Man hit in groin with brick during riot sentenced to two years in jail.

During the riots, a man named Brian Spencer caught the attention of many when a video of him taunting the police went viral. The incident took place in Southport, where Spencer, a father of five, was hit with bricks in the head and groin, causing him to be admitted to the hospital. The viral footage was recognized by the officers, leading to Spencer's arrest. The riots, which were initially a peaceful vigil for three young girls who were stabbed at a Taylor Swift dance class, were hijacked by the far-right English Defence League.

In Liverpool Crown Court, Spencer, who works as a painter and decorator, was sentenced to two years and six months in jail after pleading guilty to violent disorder. He was also charged with racially/religiously aggravated harassment for his actions towards a patient while receiving treatment for his injuries. It was revealed that earlier in the day, Spencer had been filmed punching a police car and throwing wheelie bins at officers. The officers recognized him from the footage and arrested him later in the day.

In the video where Spencer was hit with bricks, his fellow rioters could be heard expressing their sympathy as he bent over in pain. One of them even shouted, "F***ing hell boys." Detective Inspector Paula Jones from Merseyside Police stated that Spencer's involvement in the violence has now resulted in a significant amount of time behind bars. The police are still reviewing footage and gathering information to ensure that all those involved in the riots are brought to justice.

Following the chaos in late July and early August, 163 people were arrested by Merseyside Police, with 117 of them being charged and 88 being sentenced to a total of 182 years and four months. The riots resulted in the tragic deaths of three children, Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, who were attending the Taylor Swift dance class. Additionally, eight other children and two adults were critically injured in the stabbings. The police are determined to continue their efforts to hold all those responsible accountable for their actions.
