I agree with you insofar as he shouldn't be charged at all. He should walk, right now. I think if he walked, they're afraid of the reaction, but that is not how things ought to be decided- "... but what will the criminals say ? ".

The rioters are already rioting. The government is letting it happen. If they are afraid of the riots then they would be doing something about them. The claim that in one instance they are supporting the rioters and in the next subverting justice for fear of them is not logical.

All true, but you're being rational. I am not claiming they're rational. I am hypothesizing how stupid, banal slobbering cowards think. It doesn't come naturally.
