Happened around 1pm EST.
Car intentionally ran over several people. Police just announced the driver is a 53yo WM from Liverpool. |
So much joy in that city today, and then it ends with tragedy. |
How horrible! I wonder what the motivation was😢😢 |
No deaths as of now, two people (one child) in serious condition. The Liverpool people are offering help to many who are stranded. I love Liverpool, the people are amazing. |
The police are saying it’s not terrorism related |
I just saw tbat too. Wondering if it was just a terrible accident? Or intentional but not terrorism I guess. They’re confirming it’s a white 53yo man from Liverpool. Dunno whete those pics are from posted above. But not this incident clearly. |
Probably a mix of selfishness and impatience. |
The first thought everyone naturally thinks in these situations is whether such attacks are motivated by radical Islamic terrorism. |
- because the majority of these attacks are motivated by radical Islamic terrorism. |
Not terrorism apparently. Although I think my personal definition of terrorism is different.
53yo white British man from Liverpool. |
Point taken. Saw what was some video leading up to the incident, seems a crowd of people were beating on the vehicle for some reason, then the person inside seemed to panic and bumped some of them, then people became more violent to the driver. Avoiding mobs is a good thing. |
How would they ever know for sure? They just can’t, unless they have evidence of a different motivation. |
Is this related to the riots in LA ? |
Absolutely, Cletus. |
