The 28-year-old 'ruffian' was the first man to be arrested by the police on suspicion of stirring racial hatred in one of his Facebook Posts
UK, EPICSTORIAN – Jordan Parlour has become the first man to be convicted of inciting racial hatred after posting messages on Facebook about carrying out an attack on a hotel that houses asylum seekers in Leeds.
The 28-year-old, Jordan Parlour, pleaded guilty to making threatening utterances or exuding a behaviour considered incitement of racial hatred.
Parlour was arrested, according to DailyMail, after publishing Facebook posts to encourage an attack on a hotel in Leeds, and has been put in custody.
He will will be sentenced on Friday, while the hotel has been ordered to be locked on Saturday.
Because of the disorderly activities of protesters, one of the hotel’s windows broke into fragments, while there was no evidence that Parlour had called by the hotel.
“I want to be absolutely clear, anyone involved in inciting this thuggish behaviour will face severe consequences,” Nick Price, director of legal services at the Crown Prosecution Service said.
Court says the first man suspect could have caused harm to those staying at the hotel.
“Parlour advocated violence through his online posts and risked the safety of those staying at the hotel.
“The CPS will continue to act swiftly and robustly regarding these cases and ensure those responsible for such deplorable criminality are brought to justice.”
