Barry Thew - Wearing a T-shirt - 18 Sep 2012
A man from Greater Manchester who wore a T-shirt daubed with offensive comments about the killing of two police officers has been jailed.
Barry Thew, 39, was arrested wearing the top with the words "one less pig perfect justice" hours after the deaths of PCs Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes.
He admitted a public order offence and was jailed for four months at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester.[1]
