Yes, looting = prison. No problem whatsoever.
I had a problem with this case as well as the exorbitant sentences handed down for some instances of inciting (4 years when nothing actually happened e.g.).
I have never suggested that prison was not appropriate for actual looters.

But when you say that nothing happened when these two wanted to incite a riot through Facebook the fact remains that through them we could have had a huge outburst of trouble and someone could have possibly ended up in hospital or even worse then that we could have had a fatality through these idiots so l think the sentence is very fitting for these idiots.
