Liverpool car incident

Two people with serious injuries.

Three adults and a child stuck under the car when the Fire Department got there. Bloody appalling stuff.

Intent is key. Was he trying to harm people?

Premeditation. Did he go to the area with that intent?

We don't know, and won't tonight. That footage of the car being attacked though, and someone opening his door to get at him (before anything happened) implies he was in fear of a mob and tried to get away. It could be one of those tragic situations where there was no intent to harm anyone but people got hurt. The driver is responsible for sure, but why did people attack him rather than try to help get him out of the area?

27 in hospital, 3 serious injuries, 1 child

4 injured kids

Has to be a minor miracle.

Looks like the car shouldn't have been where it was to begin with, someone messed up and they're blessed there's no fatalities.

But would you have been 100% sure of that if you had been at that funeral? At the very least they were definitely surveilling the crowd to identify people they wanted to pick up later. They were not just there innocently. And in the circumstances, it was a perfectly reasonable assumption that they were also intending to attack the crowd again, many of whom had been present when Stone had attacked three days before. They were already both traumatised and anxious about another attack.

Remember, the only reason more people hadn't died in Stone's attack was because the crowd tackled and disarmed him. That was pretty bloody brave. But it also meant they didn't take much time to think about it. Second time round, there was (probably) no attack planned - but they couldn't know that. They reacted the same as they had done 3 days previously, but with added fury. I don't actually think they were wrong. Just mistaken.

I don’t disagree here. As I said, circumstances led to the killings

We see you.

if road rage as described, surely attempted murder a possible charge..

'Road rage' as described by who? Merseyside police?

That probably has significance on a parallel planet.

A horrible cocktail of bad policing, angry road rage prick, football scobes attacking him, panic, more anger from the prick, moment of madness / attempted murder.

a blessing there’s no fatalities. By September it’ll be a case against the police, victims treated as heroes and controversies where opposition fans chant the name of the driver as bants.

It truly is given the footage. Liverpool Football Club has seen too much tragedy as is.

Feared the worst tbh.

Relax lad, juts highlighting the double standards by our so called biased/trusted media.

Mod - warned for trolling

If this act wasn't deliberate.. and I'm convinced it wasn't.. whoever is in charge of road traffic management in the Liverpool area at times of such large public events, has an awful lot to answer for.

That official press conference reeked of damage limitation.
