Judge Mousley is due to sentence four more men tomorrow.
All have previously pleaded guilty to violent disorder at the protest on 2 June.
So far, 21 people have been charged as a result of the protest.
Of the 10 men to have been sentenced so far, all have been given jail sentences of at least two years.
Darren Medhurst's sentence of three years and three months is a month more than the previous longest sentence in this case.
The judge says the 36-year-old took a leading role in the protest, setting light to a bin, and has a lengthy criminal record.
Medhurst mutters under his breath and holds his head in his hands after the sentence is announced.
As he is led from the dock, a man in the public gallery calls out to him: "Save you some money, mate."
Darren Medhurst is jailed for three years and three months.
Callum Darch and Harley Haynes receive sentences of two and a half years.
Judge Mousley is reading from his prepared remarks, which the court has heard in previous sentencings in the case.
"Local residents were subjected to fear, distress and a genuine sense of danger," the judge says.
Property was damaged, people's employment was disrupted and the disorder "undermined public confidence and community well-being".
Quoting from a legal text, the judge reminds himself that individual acts of violent disorder cause harm stemming from the "combined effect of what is done en masse".
He repeats his previous conclusion that the violence was "hate crime, borne out of a hatred of the police and in some cases racist views".
After hearing from prosecution and defence lawyers, Judge William Mousley KC moves directly to sentencing, without an adjournment.
As in previous hearings, he begins by pointing out that protesters had to walk more than two miles from a relatively peaceful demonstration in Southampton city centre to the scenes of violence in Belmont Road and St Denys Road.
The march was not agreed with police beforehand, the court has heard.
Stephen Tricker is defending Darren Medhurst, who lit the large wheelie bin that was pushed towards police.
The 36-year-old, of Carnation Road, Southampton, is the primary carer for older relatives including his grandmother, the court is told.
"They will feel the effects of a custodial sentence far more than Darren Medhurst will," Tricker says.
The defendant apologises to police officers, the lawyer adds.
Rebecca McKnight, defending Callum Darch, is the next to speak.
"To say that he is disappointed in his actions is frankly an understatement," she tells Judge Mousley.
The father of one had some childhood trauma, a previous drug problem he has overcome and has been in and out of custody, she adds.
Darch threw a wheelie bin on an impulse after beginning to make his way home, the barrister says.
In a letter to the judge, Darch apologises to the police and to the bystander he accidentally hit with the bin, the court is told.
It is the turn of defence lawyers to speak on behalf of their clients.
Elliott Wright, defending Harley Haynes, tells the judge: "This was a one-off, an impulsive decision... He became caught up in it."
He asks for a suspended jail sentence, which would mean Haynes would avoid custody.
"The court can give him one final opportunity to prove... that this was an aberration," the barrister concludes.
Harley Haynes is shown in video footage with a black hood over his head.
The 23-year-old, of Avenue Road, Southampton, throws a number of objects including a brick and several pieces of glass, the court is told.
One piece hits a lamppost and shatters, showering people with glass, prosecutor Edward Culver says.
Haynes has nine convictions for 21 offences including theft, criminal damage and supplying cannabis.
Darren Medhurst had a "leading role" in the disorder and lit the burning bin that was propelled towards the police, the court hears.
The 36-year-old, of Carnation Road, Southampton, wears a top with a hood over his head in footage shown to the court.
He throws two items at the police, including a can, the prosecutor says.
Medhurst has 51 convictions for 96 offences, including handling stolen goods, burglary and shoplifting.
The prosecutor begins to discuss each of the defendants in turn.
Callum Darch, 27, of St Blaize Road, Romsey, threw a wheelie bin at police officers, the barrister says.
"The man struck starts a further altercation with a member of the public he believed had thrown the bin," Edward Culver adds.
The violence was "targeted directly at the police" and "inflames and encourages others", the prosecutor says.
Prosecutor Edward Culver is reading victim personal statements from police officers who were at the scene.
One officer says those taking part were "acting like it was some kind of party or blood sport".
Another says he is aware that officers have received threats which have made them concerned for their safety.
A third talks of his fear that someone was going to be killed at the disturbance.

The green bin is propelled with force through the crowd, but it slows and rolls gently towards officers in riot gear, who quickly push it behind them.
Two police vehicles were damaged during the disturbances and a dozen officers suffered slight injuries, prosecutor Edward Culver reminds the court.
Image source, PA MediaAs in previous hearings, video of the protest in Belmont Road and St Denys Road is shown on the court screens.
Officers equipped with helmets and riot shields can be seen retreating along a pavement, with people cheering whenever they are hit by thrown objects including chairs and wheelie bins.
Police use riot shields to push and hit protesters who are attacking them in the footage.
"People are chanting 'scum'," prosecutor Edward Culver says. "A wheelie bin is thrown by Callum Darch."
Much of the video is taken by protesters. "We are right in the thick of it, and we ain't [expletive] sick of it," one video taker comments.

Prosecutor Edward Culver is following the template of previous sentencing hearings in this case.
He begins by reminding the court that up to 1,000 people attended a protest at Southampton Central Police Station on 2 June, including the leaders of the UK Independence Party and the Britain First group.
Later, some protesters moved to the Belmont Road and St Denys Road areas, near the scene of Henry Nowak's murder, he says.
Police officers were pelted with bricks, bins and chairs and were pursued by the crowd, Culver adds.
Image source, PA MediaThe second defendant is 18-year-old Tyler Burley, of Shakespeare Road in Southampton, who has previously pleaded guilty to violent disorder.
His sentencing is adjourned until 30 June so a pre-sentence report can be prepared for the judge.
Burley sighs audibly as he is asked to stand up by Judge Mousley.
He waves at the public gallery before being led from the dock, saying: "See you in a bit."
Kamil Josef Klonek will remain in prison before his trial on 30 November.
Judge William Mousley KC refuses bail, remanding the 33-year-old in custody for more than five months before the hearing.
Kamil Josef Klonek is first up in courtroom 5.
The 33-year-old, of Lordswood Road, Southampton, becomes the first of the 21 defendants who face charges following the protest to plead not guilty.
Prosecutor Edward Culver says Klonek was filmed in the "centre of the disturbance, chanting at police" and throwing a beer can.
However, Bruno Haine, defending, says his client's behaviour does not amount to a charge of violent disorder.
"He is swearing at the police. There is an under-arm chuck of a beer can into the crowd, it's not at the police," Haine tells the judge.
A trial of up to three days is fixed for 30 November.
