Incident at Liverpool Title Parade May 26th

[paulchapo]

I've seen a video from before it happened and it looks like a guy's driven down a street by accident, got a load of shit for it from fans and the drivers just lost his head and put his foot down

Hmmm.... doesn't explain him deliberately going back into the crowd once he'd hit a few people.

Please try to control your posts. We've already had to remove a couple of posts.

Yeah. Apologies. I thought it being a video from Twitter would be fine to share. Know now for future.

Looks like Liverpool fans were trying to get into his car, also heard they were throwing stuff at it.

Guy is still a **** but this seems to suggest it’s not terror related

Seen a video, just looks like a white scouse fella who’s took a wrong turn had his car attacked and panicked as other scousers were ripping his door open and hitting his car. He’s panicked and floored it and now some poor people have been ran over as a result. Feral behaviour.

Yep, that's what I saw. Fans smashing up his car and trying to open the door and he's put his foot down to get away.

Was just thinking the same.
Thought this thread might as well be on the politics forum

We've had a chat in the mod room, and decided that, for now, to leave it where it is. Though that could change.

53 year old white British man driving confirmed by police

If rumours are true then heart goes out to the fans who have lost their lives

 

[Winchester]

Forget the Rival between Liverpool and Manchester
This is Imo Shocking
The thing is, These sorts of things are impossible to Stop
Random Acts
It says on SSN Saying it was a Collision
That's tripe
It looks Deliberate to me

53 year old white British man arrested.

Is he a member of his local choir?

Still horrendous, but thank god for that

There’s a “mod room”?

Pics?

How many injured ? Terrible news

 

[skillman]

Got to hope nobody has lost their life, terrible incident. Hope everyone is okay.



Surprised a car was able to get that close to such a crowd, I feel like Manchester has put numerous things in place over the years to prevent such a thing.

Exactly what I’ve just said to my wife. Our parades are filled with escort vehicles, cordoned off streets and barriers - amazed that doesn’t seem to be the case here.

Could be wrong, mind.

Probably just completely lost the plot by the looks of it.

This could have quite easily been one of us on say deansgate ..
Truly shocking

Collision, absolute bs

Sickening. I hope everyone involved is okay.

There's a video flying around of it and he's clearly swerving into the crowd and as people move out of the way the vehicle swerves back into them.

I don't like scousers either but that's proper nasty.

What will the be reason for this? Mental health? Butter Everton fan? Pissed? Fuck me what the fuck was he thinking.

 

[Kippax77]

I was thinking he could just be a local who's had too many celebrating, got in his car pissed up, took a wrong turn and then fucked up big time.
A proper fuckin idiot if so
