James Aspin's TikTok video, deemed "hugely offensive and dangerous" by Judge Carolyn Scott, threatened to burn down every mosque in Newcastle, inciting racial hatred.
The judge emphasized that Aspin's words could inspire violence, noting that they had the potential to severely impact the lives of individuals and communities.
Judge Scott acknowledged mitigating factors like Aspin's ADHD and remorse but highlighted the seriousness of his actions during a period of national unrest.
The outburst occurred against a backdrop of violence following the murder of three girls, escalating tensions and prompting multiple arrests related to public disorder.
