This Liverpool parade

Glad to hear he's safe

 

Seems to me they’ve released this info asap to counteract any ‘ rubbish’ that may be spouted by the usual suspects

 

People are now complaining that they've only released the info because he's local and white. No it's to stop what happened after Southport

 

Exactly.

 

Absolutely sickening news, **** me it's chilling to think we walk past these types of evil people.

Really hope people are safe, unfortunately it doesn't sound good

 

And the response I've seen online is "don't believe what the mainstream media say. They lie so we don't know it was Muslims" and "I bet there were two cars and the other was foreign"

 

The BBC are reporting it as though the police haven't said that the man that's been arrested is the driver of the car. Best to wait for the official updates.

 

It would be a very very strange statement if it didn't mean that.

"We were contacted at just after 18:00 today, following reports a car had been in collision with a number of pedestrians on Water Street. The car stopped at the scene and a male has been detained."

They then clarified that the man referenced above was a 53 year old white British man. "The vehicle stopped at the scene and a male has been detaned" is as clear as day that the person detained is the driver otherwi they wouldn't have mentioned both things in one sentence.

 

• Merseyside Police say a 53-year-old white British man has been arrested after a car drove into pedestrians in Water Street, Liverpool
  
  
• Police did not say whether the man is the suspected driver, and have warned people "not to speculate on the circumstances surrounding" the incident
  
  
• From the BBC newssite

 

Just seen video on reddit. Horrible. It was definitely intentional, he ran some people over then a gap appeared in front of him so he swerved to run more people over.

 

That's the BBC trying click bait to get views. It may as well have said "the police did not say whether or not the car has wheels". They literally said the car was stopped and a man detained. It's as clear as clear can be. If not they were deliberately misleading the public.

 

I would agree that 'it seems' clear cut. Totally get that.
I was merely countering your reply to the other poster, because it is indeed a weirdly worded statement from the beeb.

 

Pheew...daughter, her partner and baby all safe.
God that took some time, to get back to me!

 

27 injured, including 4 children. Hope they all.pull through

47 injured, 2 seriously according to that.

The driver won't ever be released as he would be found and killed.

 

Then I wish him all the luck he deserves in prison.

 

Seen videos of what looks like someone smashing his back window on his car and throwing a flare in before he rams through the crowd.

Doesn’t excuse what he did though, obviously. Especially to people that weren’t involved in that.

Why was a car even allowed into that area with all those crowds?

 

Yeah not clear cut. The guy was shiiiting himself. No excuse for ploughing through a crowd, but they were trying to get at him before he floored it. They’d also put his windows through. Why the f did they allow cars to drive down there?!? Good work by the police for de escalating the situation quickly or this could have gone full scale riot.
