Creepy Charlie Gilmour Gets Out Of Jail Free, Four Months Of Sixteen Served

Peter Hitchens tells the sad tale in his Sunday article--all of which, as always, is well worth reading.

Amoral Creep Charlie Gilmour Sentenced To Sixteen Months Imprisonment

OS noted last December, in the wake of the shameful 'student' riots in central London, that the most notorious of sociopaths had been identified--Charlie Gilmour, adopted son of a rock star, and student at Cambridge University.

Fast forward to last Friday, and his sentencing hearing. The judge reviewed the little creep's behavior in open court, which included:

Gilmour was part of a 100-strong mob that attacked a convoy escorting the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall during last year’s student riots, the court heard on Thursday.

The Cambridge University undergraduate, who was also photographed swinging from a Union flag on the Cenotaph, leapt on the bonnet of a Jaguar carrying royal protection officers before allegedly throwing a bin at the vehicle.

Shouting slogans such as “you broke the moral law, we are going to break all the laws”, the 21-year-old son of the multi-millionaire pop star went on the rampage during a day of extreme violence in central London.

Video captured by police officers outside the Houses of Parliament showed Gilmour, from Billingshurst, West Sussex, waving a red flag and shouting political slogans. The judge watched one clip in which he was shouted: “Let them eat cake, let them eat cake, they say. We won’t eat cake, we will eat fire, ice and destruction, because we are angry, very f------ angry.”

As the clip was shown in court on Thursday, Gilmour sat in the dock giggling and covering his face with his hands in embarrassment.

Sweeeeet....

For readers in the US, think of a child of someone the likes of Bruce Springsteen, a student at Yale, climbing on the Lincoln Memorial, or the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier and urinating upon it. Just because he thinks he can, because normal rules don't apply to him. Because he's LittleCharlie, son of The Boss.

Charlie claimed he didn't understand the significance of the Cenotaph. He's a bleeding history major at Cambridge, and at college after college are posted the tragically long lists of the Cambridge boys who went to war and never came back, so that boys like LittleCharlie could attend Cambridge in a safe and free country. That did not go over well in court.

The judge, to his credit, lowered the boom on the little creep.

"Such outrageous and deeply offensive behaviour gives a clear indication of how out of control you were that day," he said.

"It caused public outrage and understandably so."

His conduct at the war memorial had prompted a deluge of "vituperative and in many cases obscene" emails and other forms of communication, he told Gilmour.

These were, he added, "not just to you but, it is with deep regret, to your whole family, who were of course totally blameless."

Well, one could debate that last clause a bit, but OS digresses.

OS hopes his readers hit this link to read the whole story. It includes video of LittleCharlies escapades. Such a misunderstood child.

OS is not entirely unforgiving, however. Here's hoping LittleCharlie will use his court-enforced gap year plus six months to, well..grow up. He'll be meeting some interesting people in jail, with life stories a good deal more tragic than his.

Meantime, someone else who appreciates the opportunity to obtain a Cambridge education can take his place. Charlie won't be needing that degree after all.

Scotland Yard Seeking 14 In Connection With Attack On Charles And Camilla

...and the fifteenth hooligan is well-known, the son of a rock star, now attending Cambridge...

The fourteen's faces were published today, and OS passes the article along in an attempt to be neighborly.

If ya'll think all those rioters were students, these images should dispel that notion.

The Metropolitan Police refused to say which of those pictured was involved in a particular incident, but senior sources said officers were ‘very keen’ to identify all 14.

It is understood anarchists from Italy, Germany, Spain and Latvia were among the militants who brought mayhem to Central London.

Others came from as far away as Argentina, arrived in London at least a week before the protest and were involved in planning the attacks on the Treasury and the Palace of Westminster, The Mail on Sunday has learned.

Some are thought to belong to an anarchist group called Black Bloc, which originated in Holland and Germany, and has taken part in riots all over the world.

Hmmm...

But, a fifteenth participant has been identified.

And, he's a student at Cambridge, whose life won't be greatly affected by any rise in tuition fees.

The privately-educated pop star’s son who caused national outrage by swinging from the Union Flag on the Cenotaph was also seen clutching a rock for use as potential ammunition against the police.

As these exclusive pictures show, Charlie Gilmour – the adopted son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, who is worth about £78 million – seemed prepared for violence as mayhem erupted during the protest over university tuition fees.

The 21-year-old grabbed the stone from roadworks in Whitehall. With a scarf wrapped around his face in an unsuccessful attempt to hide his identity, the long-haired Cambridge history student tossed and caught the missile menacingly with his right hand as police struggled to defend the Palace of Westminster from the mob.

Words are just inadequate to describe a kid like this, but 'ingrate sociopath' immediately comes to mind.

His name is Charlie Gilmour, and he is an amoral creep.

Mom and Dad, if your kid is at Cambridge (and it's not a big place), Charlie is close at hand, and could well become part of your family history.

Good luck.
