Am I missing something re the Liverpool driver who caused the injuries

[Worryabouteverything]

My prayers are with the injured and I hope they all make a full recovery and justice for their injuries.

What I don't understand is that the photo the police have released is of a bald headed man. Yet the court artist has drawn a picture and he had a lot of hair which is described as going grey.
Is the photo released from years ago and he's had a hair transplant.

Yes, you’re missing that a huge number of people wanted him to be anything but white british. Now that he isn’t, their tiny brains can’t compute so it’s all AI images, conspiracies etc.

The Southporth killer didn’t look at trial like he did in the images in the media, did he?

You do realise you deciding that the OP is saying something she hasn't said is as problematic as people deciding it's fake news as it doesn't fit with their story. You just created a version of your own story and making assumptions, with people piling on to agree with you. This is how fake news gets started!

It makes no sense that a man who followed right wing misogynistic racists online deliberately tailgated an ambulance to drive at crowds in a violent targeted attack? What are you struggling to understand about that? He’s a bastard. Are you possibly struggling because he’s not the skin colour you’d prefer him to be?

"Just asking questions". That old excuse.

It’s standard practice for media to look at social media for photos (another reason to be selective about photos online )

What part are you confused about?

Fair enough then. Let's wait for the evidence.

I daresay the police are as baffled as anyone else. It took them days to charge him.

But of course he's the driver, he was taken from the car in front of hundreds of witnesses, bundled into a police van and driven away. I can't understand that speculation. Plus a neighbour recognised the car, and knew him.

He seems to have more than one alias on social media which is probably driving the frenzy. Probably just a bit of an odd character, and who knows if he dabbles in drugs? Appearances can be deceptive.

This is why Twitter is now unusable. I'm surprised sane people still use it.

This.
Makes me sick the amount of people who are shouting "fake news, it's a cover up!" or actually making excuses for him.
"He must have had a breakdown" "aw, must have panicked" "maybe he has PTSD" (actual comments I saw)
Would there fuck be all this excusing him if he wasn't white.

They are probably photos taken from an old social media profile. He doesn't look 54 on the photos in the media. So likely his hairstyle has changed.

People shouldn't be speculating

The police have said it’s not terror related, that’s what makes no sense. I’m well aware terrorists can be white, thank you.

I recall when that lady had a psychotic episode and stabbed a little girl to death on the park.

Loads of people on here were defending her, we weren’t allowed to say anything negative about her because it wasn’t her fault at all and we should have sympathy. Whilst I appreciate that she had a psychotic episode and may have not been fully in control, people seemed to have more sympathy for her than for the parents who watched their girl be stabbed to death, which I failed to understand then and still don’t fully fathom now.

And I say this as someone who has severe mental health issues.

The video is of a man with a shaved head. The sketch of the man in court a couple of days later is of a man with hair which would take months to grow.

yes. Press reported so and then seemed to drop off.

I’ve reported this thread.

Arrested yes, but not charged. They are different.

Fucking give over, will you. 🙄

Well they arrested him at the scene so 100% they have the right man!

I think if you go looking for a bullshit conspiracy theory online you will certainly find one.

The image wasn't released by the police - the media dug it up so could be his social media profile that he hasn't updated.

Lots of men shave their heads, wear wigs, dye their hair. Why on earth does it matter?

The charges are public knowledge they were listed when he appeared in court on Friday morning.
It's common for the charges to change from point of arrest to charge once they've been interviewed & looked at evidence.

I'm confused why you're telling me this. I'm not the one who doesn't understand this.

There is no charge at the point of arrest. The charges come later when cps have reviewed the evidence in a case. And for the love of god stop speculating.

I'm literally trying to put a stop to the speculation by stating the facts. Someone is arrested 'on suspicion of X,Y,Z' based on limited evidence at the scene, which is then obviously reviewed following interview & evidence. The charges are often very different from the initial arrest. That's completely normal & definitely no conspiracy it's just how the law operates.
There's people determined to find a conspiracy in anything. There really isn't one here.

I'm responding to the whole quote thread that seems to be whipping up a conspiracy where there isn't one.

No conspiracy it's just how the justice system works.
