A RIOTER who launched vile abuse outside a hotel housing asylum seekers was told he displayed an ‘’extraordinary level of ignorance’.
Steven Miller launched into a tirade aimed at an asylum seeker being escorted into the building, as well as a police officer.
He was one of up to 70 people who attended the protest outside the hotel on Oldham Road in Newton Heath, after false information was posted online about the alleged perpetrator of the killing of three girls in Southport.
The disorder in north Manchester came after a Facebook post which read: “Let’s get them out. 6pm today. Stand up and take note, because if you don’t, no one will.”
Police attended on July 31 as thugs launched missiles towards the building and officers, including bricks and bottles. A bus came under attack and the driver was injured. Others, including 38-yearold Miller, launched vile verbal abuse.
