Feltham / felt them innuendo.

Some guy drove into the crowd at the Liverpool title parade, looks like he's taken quite a lot of people out. Police immediately rushed out a statement that he's a white British man.
Whatever that means.
“They don’t say what race they are when it’s not a white man”. No because, surprisingly enough, the police don’t want to stir up unrest and saying they are white or not saying they aren’t is what’s going to do that.
Babelfish says: They have to say it's not darkies, to head off Vlad's bots, and his compromised fascist agents that walk amongst us, to hopefully prevent destabilising division and lawlessness.
But if they say white when they are white and say nothing other times can't even the bots work out the code?
I'm sure we'll see Nigel Farage come forward shortly to make political hay out of this.
No wait, hold up. The bloke wasn't a darkie? Bugger. Move along now, nothing to see here...
Perhaps just always say they are white, just in case? It's going to be the closest approximation anyway given that most crimes are committed by white males.
I think the whole thing about media not wanting to say when a non-white person does a thing is mainly bollocks. Yeah, doubtless it’s happened.. but I think it’s mainly just a matter right-wing talking point. And, as tricky points out, statistically speaking.. whatever bad thing you’re hearing about something doing in the uk was done by a white person.. and it’s only very recently that this has ever warranted a mention.
I wonder if outing this person as a whitey will incite someone to bomb a church?
They have convinced themselves that the 53 yo white man isn't the driver but someone who was attacking him.
From the clips that have been shared, it looks like the driver went down a road that they shouldn't have (possibly following an ambulance), people started smashing up the car and the driver panicked and tried to accelerate away from them. But criticising crowds of Liverpool fans doesn't generally go down very well.
That interpretation did cross my mind tbh. Dude could have been smacked up to his eyeballs as well of course.
Not sure that driving at speed into crowds of people is the correct way to address taking a wrong turn.
Not defending him but there’s a clip that shows him starting to reverse slowly in the crowd and bump into someone, which is what starts people trying to smash up his car.
Impossible to know what was going through his mind at any of those points but the forward acceleration looks to me like a panic response to get out of a situation that was turning ugly.
Interesting. What does the deviating his path to plough into crowds look like to you?
Anyone who thinks the answer to anything, is to use a weapon* against innocent bystanders needs to be removed from society for it's protection. Irrespective of provocation, or otherwise.
* The car here was used as a weapon. Irrespective of the drivers interaction with other people, it was used as such against completely uninvolved third parties. Unless you hold the Thatcherite view that football crowds should be persecuted as a homogenised group.
Probably a bit of “fuck you lot for smashing up my car”. Clearly totally in the wrong.
Obviously the right thing to do, once stuck in that situation, is to stop and wait it out. But, regardless of him taking a number of escalating bad choices, I can see that being in a car in a crowd that big would be fucking scary. I always felt sorry for the unsuspecting idiots who used to turn down trentside just before the final whistle before they started blocking it off.
