It's just like Minority Report! :D
it does sound ridiculous, but without knowing the facts (was it a detailed plan they had worked out, would lives be at risk, was it basically a terrorist plot) we can only assume it was "lol lets meet up and riot" and be rightly appalled at the sentencing

I'd wondered about that

hmmm didn't know sedition carried up to a 10 year sentence
but surely the maximum would be applicable after the event when you could judge how badly it went. It being a non event would be a community order surely?
but as speshulknees says if you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

silly cow for not turning up to court/contesting it
but I have no sympathy if it was a rural location on a hot day, them fields do catch fire remarkably easily.
