Liam was arrested for violent behaviour during a protest rally. He explained his aggressive actions to his legal representative, who noted down his statements. Table 3 below shows some of Liam's comments.
| I saw the organizers of our march kicking at the security barriers. |
| We worked for months on this campaign and the council just ignored us – it's completely unfair. |
| I was wearing a hood and face-covering, so nobody could recognise me. |
| Once the whole crowd started throwing water bottles, I just lost control and joined in. |
| Everyone around me was shouting and cheering when the first window was smashed. |
