From what I've read of the case plenty of the troublemakers had been prosecuted a number of times and a number of them had ASBO's handed out.

Of course as anyone with half a brain knows ASBO's are pretty much useless and are seen as a bit of joke by the feral yobs inhabiting certain chunks of the UK just now.

If you can walk away from a £2mil fraud, arson, glassing someone in a pubfight or battering your girlfriend then smashing her phone and driving whilst disqualified with a suspended sentence what is really going to be done for chucking some eggs at a window?

Any defence lawyer will be able to talk away pretty much anything as a one-off and a light tap on the wrist will probably be all they'll get.
