Doubt it’ll go to court, he’ll probably just make a public pseudo-apology and that’ll be that. But if it did go to court, I imagine the defence will argue that by not explicitly condoning, and in some instances fully supporting the protests, they were “encouraging” any criminal damage that may have occurred. I would hope that argument wouldn’t work, but a lot has happened in the last six months that I previously would have hoped would never happen so who knows at this point.
