This follows on from the other Shinner who fell off the roof of an Orange Hall while trying to damage it. When will these bigots ever learn.

Any links about the accusation that this guy is a SF member? Or the political affiliations of the others sentenced?

The dogs in the street know that Sinn Fein is a haven for these thuggish types who are more interested in criminality and Celtic than in promoting any political ideal.
True republicans would want nothing to do with these types who offer nothing to the community, and we should not all be tarnished with the one brush because of a few morans.
