Teen, 17, who graffitied a Windrush mural with Nazi symbols and racial slurs after being expelled from the RAF cadets for sending pictures of him with a Swastika on his chest is jailed – #terror

Aristedes Haynes, 17, fantasised about making a gun and killing a schoolboy. A teenager daubed a Windrush mural with Nazi symbols after he was expelled from the RAF cadets for sending pictures of him with a Swastika on his chest. Aristedes Haynes, 17, who the court heard fantasised about making a gun and killing a schoolboy, admitted a string of terror offences and criminal damage in June. Mr Justice Jeremy Baker said Haynes ‘essentially became self-radicalised’ and held ‘entrenched’ racist, antisemitic and homophobic views.  He had previously been referred to the Prevent de-radicalisation programme by the Royal Air Force Cadets after he sent others in the group photos of a Swastica daubed on his bare chest. His Instagram was later banned for posting racist and Nazi images and at just 16 he daubed Port Talbot’s Windrush mural with graffiti on two separate occasions. In October he also set off a smoke bomb at The Queer Emporium in Cardiff, while a stash of knives, an air rifle and antisemitic literature were found in the teenager’s room. (…) He was sentenced at the Old Bailey on Thursday to one year and seven months’ detention and one year’s extended licence.  He was also made the subject of a Criminal Behaviour Order for three years.  At a previous hearing, the court heard how Haynes was referred to the Prevent de-radicalisation programme last spring by the Royal Air Force Air Cadets.  Last September, he was expelled from the group after he sent images to other cadets bare chested with a Swastika painted on his chest and was banned from Instagram for posting racist and Nazi images.
