By, 'go down', I meant go to prison. Sorry if this caused confusion. I see how it might have but it was unintentional.
That's not a big question. 10 people were arrested and the other 6 accepted police cautions. You are the one that keeps posting the links, don't you read.them?I think it's almost inevitable that they will be found guilty. (In as much as they were part of a crowd who pulled down the statue I can't see how they're anything other than guilty, the big question is why are these specific four being tried and not all the other people who also there?)

Given that it was a riotous mob, the CPS will have overwhelming video evidence to support the charges.
Without that, the would not have proceeded.
The ten who were charged would have been assessed as ringleaders.
Six took the slap on the wrist.
Four wish to make a political point, because it certainly wouldn’t be a legal point.
As I said, high risk.
If any has previous for a similar offence, they could go down for a few weeks.
Maybe that’s what they want.
I wasn't one of the "thousands" that were there, but I would guess that the 10 that were arrested were the ones that cut down the statue and pushed it into the water, rather than the "thousands" that filmed it for their Instagram, and made loads of noise. That's just my guess thoughWhy only 10 arrested out of thousands present, silly. You didn't read my post properly, if you had you'd have noticed the bit that said, "...and not all the other people who (were*) also there?"

I disagree, I think that Bristol will riot if they go down.
Tell me something, have you actually watched the video, all seven or eight minutes of it, all the way through?
If you haven't, perhaps you should.
I don't think Bristol will riot if they go down, but I think there might be rioting in Bristol if they do.
Have you actually watched the full video and not the 7-8 minutes commonly shown? If you haven't then perhaps you should?
And if you have, what did you make of the scene about 5 minutes before the 7-8 minutes when he is sitting in the police car untouched by anyone complaining he was having trouble breathing?
My hyperbole there, well spotted! Yes, rioting in Bristol if these four are sent to prison. Hopefully the prediction will be a moot point as there will be no prison for the Colston 4.
But to even point this out shows some degree of sympathy with Chauvin.
The subtle comment I was getting at is that if there is rioting and protesting in Bristol, then I suspect a lot of the people involved won't be residents from Bristol.
