The press always seemed to report Dundee as a very antisocial place with a big drug problem compared to it's size. Dundee’s drug deaths per 100,000 beats everything but Glasgow. The death rate is 8 time higher now than in 2000. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spending, or being prepared to spend £250k in jail costs alone, for 2 people who posed no threat to the public is ludicrous. Add on the court, policing and legal costs it would be a stupid amount of cash. What was the punishment given to the platform they used to post in the first place? Facebook back then was utter shit posting, so I'm not sure their posts would have been taken seriously by anyone reading them, had a riot in Dundee occurred then perhaps there could be a case to answer, but there wasn't. 2 minutes ago, KingRocketman II said: yep and unless some other movement happened elsewhere in the city, then to consider this as "people trying to start a riot and looting" is quite a leap by anyone's standards. L Exactly, it was a poor joke and I seem to remember similar pages being made at the time with no consequences.
