Car attack in Derby city centre.

[Mottie]

Apparently a car has driven into multiple pedestrians causing some pretty major injuries.

Counter-terror team join Derby Friar Gate car incident inquiry

Police question a man, 36, and keep an "open mind" as counter‑terror officers join the investigation.

I wonder why they haven’t given a description of the driver, like they immediately did when that white male did the same in Liverpool? I thought they were going to give details in cases like this to stop speculation?

Derbyshire Live has a newsfeed on the incident...

...The Balti house in the background used to be one of the pubs on our route through F.gate back in the Eighties: The White Hart. The road through the city center is being relaid and widened to cope with the increased traffic, so the driver might have been confused...

The driver is originally from India, so says the Daily Telegraph.

No obvious links to Iran.

I'd hazard a guess he's not Jewish.

There are small Jewish communities in India, minor compared to this Hindu population as are most other religions.

Most Indians I've met my way are Christians.

Police said a man in his 30s, originally from India, was detained a short time later on suspicion of attempted murder, causing serious injury through dangerous driving, inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent and dangerous driving. He remains in police custody.

Actually they released details very quickly...

In order to indeed stop speculation and to thwart those who always seek out a racial angle...

People like yourself!

No. They didn't. Nowhere near the 1.2 seconds or so that they took with describing the white male that crashed through the Liverpool crowd.

In order to indeed stop speculation and to thwart those who always seek out a racial angle...

Or in order to assist those who always seek to excuse any racial or religious angles….

People like yourself.

Filly was right. Unlucky. Were you were secretly hoping it was a white Reform candidate?

Do you get up each morning with the goal of reinforcing your stupidity?

It was about 2 hours in liverpool btw, not '1.2 seconds'...

Took them a while to find the guy in Derby

 

[pete01]

Who did it?

Did he hand himself in? No, they knew who they were looking for. It then took them another 10 hours to let everyone else know. Didn’t take that long to put out the details of the white male in Liverpool, did it? Any idea why they sat on that information overnight? I have.

Are you sure about that or are you just guessing to give an excuse for them not identifying the perp? Just said on TV that he was arrested 7 minutes after the incident took place so they knew he was a non-whitey at 9.37pm last night. As I said, strange they kept that quiet.

Do you get up each morning with the goal of reinforcing your lack of understanding of the use of humorous over exaggeration? Did you really think I meant 1.2 seconds? I bet you’re a laugh a minute in company….
