3:28Now PlayingShelagh Fogarty spoke to LBC's Alex Taylor Brown after Thomas Birley was sentenced to nine years in prison on Friday for taking part in a riot in Rotherham on 4 August.
It's the longest prison stretch so far to be handed out by a judge following widespread violence which broke out in the wake of the Stockport attacks on July 29.
Birley, 27, of Swinton, Rotherham, had previously pleaded guilty to a charge of arson with intent to endanger life, violent disorder, as well as possessing an offensive weapon.
He formed part of a group which helped smash in windows at a Holiday Inn Express in Manvers, before setting fire to the building and adding wood to stoke the flames.
