I will. There was no allegation or charge against the boy of any violence, and he was recognised by the judge as having led a blameless life. However, he was found guilty of false imprisonment because he sat in front of a car and encouraged others to do so, he participated in a slow march, he used a megaphone to chant "No way, we won't pay" and he momentarily stood in Deputy Joan Burton's way and asked her to talk to him. That is it. He was protesting, not kidnapping.
