No harm done then :rolleyes: :oops:

You can't try somebody for murder if nobody has died. You can't try somebody for GBH if nobody has suffered a serious injury. We'll have to wait and see. There may be other offences. I am not an expert in criminal law.

So you and your family are sat in your garden having a barbeque, I come smashing through your fence in my car and plough through you all and luckily nobody dies, the sentence according to you is dependant upon the injuries?
 
I dont know if he is a white British Male he will get the full force of the law I would say.
Police say the man is being held on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving offences and driving while unfit through drugs.

To some extent, yes. And also on the intention. The law is complicated.

If you punch somebody a glancing blow, you might be charged with common assault. If you punch them and they fall over and die, that might be manslaughter. If you punch them really hard intending to cause them serious injury and they die, that might be murder.

Not that complicated, he hasn't punched anyone, he drove his car into a crowd plus he was reversing back into them on the video.

But if nobody was seriously injured, he can't be charged with a crime of seriously injuring somebody. Because it hasn't happened. It all depends on the facts and we don't have those yet.
