He used Facebook to urge members of the 'Mob Hill Massive' to gather at McDonalds in the centre of town and to carry out 'lootin'.
However, Cheshire Police had been monitoring the Facebook page and when Blackshaw turned up at the arranged time, he was promptly arrested.
Since the violence, courts have been sitting throughout the night to get through the huge number of cases. Blackshaw has already been found guilty and sentenced to serve four years in a young offenders' institution
Judge Elgan Edwards who made the ruling told Blackshaw: 'This happened at a time when collective insanity gripped the nation. Your conduct was quite disgraceful and the title of the message you posted on Facebook chills the blood.
'You sought to take advantage of crime elsewhere and transpose it to the peaceful streets of Northwich.'
Graham commented: 'Northwich is only a small town. If Blackshaw had been successful in organising violence and looting, the damage to our high street could have been devastating. I shudder to think how many businesses would have been affected and how many local residents would have been put in danger.
'This wasn't just some idiot writing something silly on the internet. Blackshaw actively tried to organise looting and turned up at the meeting point, clearly intending to attempt to 'smash down' our town.
'To reduce a sentence because a riot organiser failed in his stated task would seem to only be a reward for his own incompetence.'
Graham went on to pay tribute to the police and courts for their swift action: 'Cheshire Police have been brilliant. They were able to pick up on potential organised violence and acted quickly to nip it in the bud. I think everyone in Northwich is grateful for their rapid action.
'I also want to pay tribute to all those in the criminal justice system who have been able to get through so many cases in such a short space of time. When a small minority are trying to actively rebel against the rule of law, it is absolutely critical that justice is swiftly served and a tough message is sent out loud and clear.'
