Millionaire daughter who looted in the London riots - what will she get?

    "A MILLIONAIRE’S daughter could be jailed today after she was convicted of driving looters on a late-night crime spree at the height of last summer's riots.

    University-educated Laura Johnson, 20, chauffeured the group through London on August 8 last year in her black Smart car.

    As they cruised around the capital, her passengers leapt from the car clad in hooded tops, bandanas and balaclavas to loot.

    In April, the University of Exeter undergraduate, from Orpington, south-east London, was convicted at Inner London Crown Court of one count of burglary and one of handling stolen goods ."

    Basically one guy got 2 months for stealing a bottle of water. Her case was adjourned till now. She was found guilty, due to be sentenced May 4th but that was put back too... till today.

    I reckon she won't see jail time, one rule for one, one rule for rich bastards.

    She'll need an air conditioned prison cell in this weather.

    She was a big fan of Prisoner Cell Block H in college. Who wasn't?

    At a rough guess, I'd estimate that she'll get sentenced to two years.

    If her parents are millionaires, why did she riot? :confused: hardly gonna be worrying about uni fee's or not being able to pay the bills will she.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭Nabber


    She'll get 2 years with 5 of those 2 years suspended, meaning the state owe her 3 years. It will be a miss-carriage of justice and she will be awarded £50,000.

    That sounds about right for a rich kid.

    Well, the concept that the riots was down to lower class black kids has largely been shot to **** in the courts. Lots of middle class white kids were basically just getting in on the fun.

    Because she's a cunt?

    I wouldn't mind her rioting for good cause \ reason but wtf does she know. Bit 'common people' by pulp methinks.

    & yes I really stuffed this thread up...

    The Easter Rising loot of 2016. Anyway there is no way this will happen in Dublin


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,336 ✭✭✭wendell borton


    Just goes to show that the riots had nothing to do with need.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    a bleedin smart car? I hope she gets 10 years.

    how big was this group she was driving around? They must not have looted much, maybe a few pairs of sunglasses or something

    Why you gotta get all racial? You're just perpetuating the tension.

    That's one hell of an amazing predicition, according to Hondasam (who posted above you) she did indeed get 2 years!

    I don't really understand this. She'll get 2 years (again, you're right!) but 5 of the two years will be suspended? Am I missing something?
