EDL Supporter Brings Child To Violent Protest

The English Defence League (EDL), neither needed nor wanted, caused havoc during their protest in Birmingham yesterday.

Supporters violently clashed with police, damaged property, shouted abusive chants, and missiles were thrown including bottles and bricks.

Here is a picture of one EDL supporter who brought his child to the protest. The child is clearly scared.

The Mirror reported that one onlooker said: “Why the man took his child anywhere near this event beggars belief. The child looked so frightened to be caught up the middle of such violence.”

Some EDL supporters were injured during the protest, from projectiles thrown by members of their own group.

Clearly, this was no place for a child to be.
