Gangs used websites to set up school fight

THREE youths have admitted their part in a fight in Rainworth which had been organised on a website between rival gangs from two schools.

The trio, who cannot be named for legal reasons, went along to the organised fight in the Helmsley Road area on 29th October last year.
A 16-year-old from Rainworth, who was badly injured in the incident, admitted causing affray, while two 17-year-olds, one from Sutton and one from Mansfield, each admitted carrying an offensive weapon when they appeared before Mansfield magistrates on Friday.
The court was told the Sutton schoolboy was carrying a plank of wood and the Mansfield youth had armed himself with a brick stuffed inside a sock.
All three were released on unconditional bail until 6th July while pre-sentence reports are prepared — but the youths were warned they could face a custodial sentence.
Pupils at the two schools had been encourged by teachers to set up their own websites — but these had then been used to direct insults between gang members and to show off.
The war of words eventually led to a fight being set up, with the three youths among those who attended.
- Another youth, who is 17 and from Mansfield, is charged with two malicious woundings and carrying an offensive weapon, a sharp-bladed knuckle duster, in connection with the same incident.
His case has been sent to Nottingham Crown Court and he was granted unconditional bail until 30th June.

The trial has just ended with the following report in the local chad

Gang fight ringleader is named and shamed

MANSFIELD teenager Robert Walker has been jailed for five years for his part in a gang fight that was organised on a website.

The vicious 17-year-old was hauled before Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday — where a judge decided he should be 'named and shamed' for his role in the gang warfare.
Walker, of Winster Way, armed himself with a bladed knuckle duster for the clash between rival gangs from Mansfield and Rainworth last October.
As he was led away from the dock, the teenager was told by Recorder David Farrell: "Naming and shaming might have an effect. Publicity will let others know that this sort of gang land behaviour will not be tolerated."
The fight was between Walker's Oak Tree Lane estate-based Racey Massive gang, which met at Mansfield's Racecourse park, and the Westside Gang from Rainworth.
Both gangs had their own website — complete with pictures — and exchanged text messages to arrange fights.
But the court was told that police were called in when residents saw gang members rip down fencing to arm themselves as they gathered for the organised clash at Helmsley Road in Rainworth.
In the pre-arranged fight, Walker used his knuckle duster and left his 17-year-old victim needing more than 20 stitches to cuts to his forehead, scalp and ear.
Walker's barrister Simon Eckersley said members of both gangs were armed for the fight and that both Walker and his victim had been drinking.
Walker admitted wounding with intent to do grevious bodily harm and having an offensive weapon and was told by Judge Farrell: "You were a central figure. You armed yourself with a vicious knuckle duster and inflicted terrible wounds."

Thinking this was the end of him being a fool.... The other week he was climbing over a fence at school, and slipped. This resulted in him almost loing his finger, severing all the arteries on one side of his finger, and ripping the ligament away...

Of course this then got too much for me having recently split with bex, and to say i was slightly emotional, at being told my brother may lose his finger, was an overstatement! Luckily i was able to talk to maddsy and bex, and they helped cheer me up :D

Thanks guys

2 photos he took

So now he is scarred for life on both hands, and may now only get 90% movement back in his finger!
