The men received jail terms of between 18 months and six years for their parts in the disorder.
At Hull Crown Court, there was not a spare seat in Courtroom 1 as six men were jailed for their part in disorder described by a judge as "12 hours of racist, hate-fuelled mob violence".The parts played by David Wilkinson, 46, Steven Love, 41, John Nunan, 36, and Travis Whitelock, 23, John Honey, 25, and Corey Holloway, 20, was laid bare for all to see.
Wilkinson also tried to set fire to a wheelie bin outside a garage. Judge Thackray said people, including children, were “cowering with fear” nearby. Described by Judge Thackray as “front and centre of everything”, John Honey, of Park Grove, Hull, was next up. Love had 30 previous convictions from 49 offences, and was on licence from prison after an incident in March 2024, in which he was convicted of two counts of affray and one of dangerous driving.
Footage showed him carrying a police shield and throwing bottles at officers. He was also seen shouting and pushing a wheelie bin at police lines on Ferensway.
