[Football] A car has ploughed into some Liverpool fans at their victory parade

[EliasTaproot]

Is a bit grim that people are celebrating it being a white guy and others angry it isn't a brown person all over the internet. Not quite so explicitly here but can see the undertones all too well.

Thoughts are with solely the victims at this time, will not spend any time thinking about the evil piece of shit who did such a thing.

""We can confirm the man arrested is a 53-year-old white British man from the Liverpool area."

Police statement from BBC page.

Clearly a conspiracy narrative driven by the Wokerati mainscream media and such.

Clearly.

…evil….or panicked, stressed, threatened, unstable We’ll know in due course.

This is neither the time nor place to debate such issues. Suffice it to say. you'll be well aware of what I meant.

No, I don't know what you meant. But if you'd rather nudge and wink and skirt the issue, that's fine by me.

From the footage I’ve seen it appears the driver somehow found himself amongst the crowd,hence the beeping of the horn,it looks like those around him started hitting the car and tried to drag him out, it’s at this point the driver lost it either through panic or rage and tried to drive away hitting those in his way

Having seen the sickening footage, the driver appears to intentionally steer towards the largest group of people possible at high speed.

This isn’t a slight on anyone here or Bozza for the thread title (the mainstream press all report these incidents the same way) - but a car didn’t plough into people - a person driving one as a deadly weapon ploughed into fellow human beings.

My thoughts are solely with the victims of this outrage and their friends and families.

Praying for the people caught up in this

That’s your opinion. Suggest you don’t write it as a fact. It may well be but you don’t know that for certain do you?

...drunk, drugged, having some sort of medical episode, mechanical failure, domestic argument, some other sort of criminality etc...

There are videos of him hitting the horn. People started hitting his car and trying to open the door, which after that he started to speed into the crowd.

Where would they get their self-validation from then though?

Yes.

For the avoidance of doubt, it became clear very very quickly that a car had been driven into a large crowd. We have no idea at the moment why.

I did think (for about 2 seconds today) to take someone down there, but the three taxi drivers I have spoken to ensure me it's been a bit crazy in the centre today.

 

[HangletonGull]

Apparently it started he drove over someone’s foot person in question went to grab him he drove off that’s what I’ve heard no idea if true or false or how he got there

The fact it’s my opinion should be inferred by the carefully chosen term “appears to”.
Those of the adequate intelligence to respond to me recognise this.

You’ve tried this with me before, and came off very badly, so I’d suggest I’m not one to challenge on correct use of English. I choose my words carefully.

 

[A1X]

I’m delighted the prick has been arrested, hopefully means the truth will out

 

[Guinness Boy]

Sad that this is a binfire of a thread already.

Fact: 53 year old white British man arrested.

Fact: Police have asked people not to speculate.

Everything else: Speculation.

So stop it please.

Here’s the police statement from the BBC:

I was referring to the last part of your post. You didn’t choose them carefully enough.

 

[Berty23]

Some terms really are a klaxon these days aren’t they.

“Mainstream media” is a belter. They are one step from saying the hilarious “lamestream media”

It's almost as if you have experience of the full spectrum of human frailty.
However this is surely no match for the opinionated certainty of the armchair experts.

That makes even less sense.

Or that I spent years investigating incidents involving cars, including ones involving crowds.

My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by what’s happened
