#9  53-year-old white British man

To paraphrase Ann Coulter, if they immediately identify the suspect, we know he's white.

#8  Thank heavens he's not a Muslim. Attacking him like those people did would be a hate crime and they would be locked up. /sarcasm

#6  More from the Daily Mail, which quotes the same witness at length and has a blurry photo of the miscreant in his car:

Police have confirmed that the man detained is a '53-year-old white British man from the Liverpool area'.

#5  Beavis: From NBC:

A 53-year-old British man plowed his minivan into a crowd of Liverpool soccer fans who had been celebrating the city team’s Premier League championship on Monday and was arrested, police said.

There was no immediate word from authorities on how many people were injured. An air ambulance and other emergency vehicles swarmed the scene to respond to reports that multiple pedestrians had been hit.

Harry Rashid, who was at the parade with his wife and two young daughters, said the car began ramming people about 10 feet away from him.

“It was extremely fast," Rashid said. “Initially, we just heard the pop, pop, pop of people just being knocked off the bonnet of a car.”

Rashid said after the car rammed its initial victims, it came to a halt and the crowd charged the vehicle and began smashing windows.

“But then he put his foot down again and just plowed through the rest of them, he just kept going,” Rashid said. “It was horrible. And you could hear the bumps as he was going over the people.”

Rashid said it looked deliberate and he was in shock and disbelief.

“My daughter started screaming and there were people on the ground,” he said. “They were just innocent people, just fans going to enjoy the parade.”

Eyewitness Natasha Rinaldi told British broadcaster Sky News that “people sounded desperate” and that she saw the car had “run over people," NBC News reported. (Sky News is owned by Comcast, the parent company of NBC News.)

“Then people started rushing to go after the driver and they tried to break the car. The police did everything to block and to push people away,” she said. “We could just hear screams and screams. We were very confused.”

🚨 #BREAKING: A suspected attack has just occurred in Liverpool as locals celebrate a football victory

A driver rammed through a parade, running down dozens of locals

Liverpool just *happens* to be one of the Middle East migration capitals of UK.

Just a coincidence, I’m sure!

#2  Appropriate for this solemn day.

From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
- Henry V, Shakespeare
