Just wondering what the general feel is regarding the **** of the media trying to mitigate the actions of that POS?
Oh, he's an ex-serviceman. ?
Oh, he's a loving family man. ?
Oh, he's a such a pleasant neighbour. ?
Oh, he must have been having a bad day. ?
Blah-blah-blah.
It's such a shame for the **** of the media world that he isn't an immigrant or Trans.
Still, he's going to be popular in prison.

Main stream media are controlled by the goverment (who are responsible for mass illegal imagination) so all parties are relieved it's not an illegall imagrint so not sure what your point is?!?!?!
30 May 2025 21:20:43
Anyone who gets behind the wheel on drink or drugs is a pos in my opinion. I don't understand you're immigrant/ trans comment. The media is partisan with a left and right-wing side. It isn't a monolith.
30 May 2025 21:28:32
Standard morals of the media tbh. Sadly one of the largest parasitic entities of modern society.
I don't want to see anyone suffer, don't know what the said person was going through. You don't hurt others to relieve your own suffering though.
Hope a huge custodial is dished out.
30 May 2025 21:38:37
He hasn't been charged with drink or drugs. Read the details.
30 May 2025 21:42:14
They're bringing out the small violin cos he's white. If he was a brown Muslim, you can bet GB News and the like would be all over how evil he is.
30 May 2025 21:43:57
Agree Babbity. He might be all those things like a pleasant neighbour etc. but he is responsible for an absolutely massive crime. And any mitigating factors do not compensate his decision to drive intoxicated into a heavily populated area where cars were prohibited at a known event and mow people down.
He is going down for a very long time and rightfully so IMO.
30 May 2025 21:46:03
Don’t think he has been charged with drink or drug offences, although I might be mistaken.
30 May 2025 21:46:34
I love mass illegal imagination.
30 May 2025 21:46:42
It’s certainly the first time I’ve ever seen an incident like this associated with headlines of “Father of 3” and “Middle class Business owner”.
30 May 2025 21:51:28
I don't know what the media says because I don't read it. But I'm not quite sure what trans people and immigrants have to do with a West Derby man off his head on drugs who committed something unthinkable.
30 May 2025 21:54:02
You do know my friend bkred, similar name to me too, that Liverpool as a harbour city is formed by immigration right? Immigrants past and present are very much a part of this beautiful melting pot, a welcoming city, that’s been through a lot, again this Monday, but managed to stick together. My most sincere greetings, from an immigrant, although not into the uk.

Redintheshed we had a choirboy killing little girls last summer.
30 May 2025 22:10:50
Probably shouldn’t comment too much on a live legal case to avoid ‘contempt of court’ but general comments:
No excuses for being behind the wheel of a car if you’re under the influence of drink or drugs.
On the media, I hate the way the media and general politicking morons try and divide up the nation based on ethnicity, socioeconomic status, left or right wing tendencies, old or young.
United we stand, divided we fall.
It’s a power trip and we’re easier to control and manipulate if we’re divided.
30 May 2025 22:14:55
We did indeed, Babbity.
I'm trying to get my head around what people's point is.
I wish we could get back to talking about our great club and let the judicial system take care of things.
30 May 2025 22:16:32
Im with Ron, you said it the way I couldn’t, thank you.
30 May 2025 22:33:08
The simple point being made is that at the moment, with social media, legacy media and the increased rhetoric are 'immigration', the crime isn't the issue, it's who's committing the crime.
A white bloke like me, we'll make excuses, a non white bloke, then they should be damned to hell and anyone like them.
It's so obvious, so sad.
Oh, and someone mentioned left and right media bias. For every one 'lefty' you can name, I'll give you 10 right wing blowhards.
30 May 2025 23:30:30
Which bit of the law says that a serious crime committed by a middle aged businessman is punished in different ways based on race, gender, sexual preference or anything else for that matter?
Having read what I’ve just written can I echo @Rome’s sentiment that we get back to discussing footy and in particular Liverpool FC - it is a footy banter / rumours site, after all.
31 May 2025 00:24:59
I think to be fair to everyone, emotions are still very high on the topic and sometimes it's going to come out in different ways.
I think we re all on the same page from reading the comments that what happened was very wrong and like others have said let's leave the judicial system to it.
Everyone thoughts here is with the victims so let's not squabble amongst ourselves about side points. I'm sure there's some polotical forums out there and I appreciate I was guilty of it too on a recent post. Again like I said, emotions were high with the incident.
I think we re best to keep this to a football site. After all, we're all football experts here so best to stick to what our expertise is.
31 May 2025 01:02:36
Haven’t been following the thread in depth but saw a comment about justice system treating people differently.
It doesn’t. It’s just magical how some ethnic groups get longer prison sentence for the same crime as other ethnic groups ?.
31 May 2025 08:07:49
We all know the media is horrendous in this country . but let's not pretend that because this driver was white he is getting a better profile than the monster Welsh choirboy who destroyed so many lives . They almost had us feeling sorry for that rat . but I agree let's leave this alone n get back to football rumours, discussion.
31 May 2025 08:46:01
Coming from Ireland i can tell you it doesn't take much to be labelled a"far right blowhard". And the reason behind that? ?.
31 May 2025 12:26:26
He won’t have been charged with drug offences yet, when in custody he will have had blood samples taken which will have been forensically taken and sent to a lab to be analysed. Although this is a high profile incident this still takes time what will come is further charge (s) once this comes back saying how much of what ever was taken was in his system.
I imagine that due the the scale of the victims involved there will be a hell of a lot more charges to come and a heavy custodial is very very likely.
