Drugs or no drugs. Scared or not.
Everyone's seen the video where he appears to drive at speed into the larger part of the crowd.
I think this country has a huge issue with male rage, as seen by those baying for blood now as well as by the drivers actions. I can appreciate he was maybe angry, frustrated, possibly even afraid. But those are real (& innocent) people, you can't just react like that. He's very lucky no-one died.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot. A few months ago I drove into my local city centre unaware that there was a huge football match on. The route I drove was very busy with people celebrating, there was a very big police presence (including mounted police) and the roads were not closed. Even so there were people spilling out into the road and the only way to safely navigate was to inch along very carefully. It felt claustrophobic and was a scary experience (especially as I had my kids with me), my heart was racing and my palms were sweaty. I can imagine easily panicking if I was off my bits and the situation I was in sounds much more controlled and less scary than Liverpool.
im not making excuses for him and I hope they throw the book at him. I can see how panic could happen
I was stuck on a train with football fans recently and it wasn't fun. Vast majority of fans are fine but even some who are just having fun show zero consideration for those around them. I've picked my partner up from matches before too and it's crazy the amount of people who just walk into the road without looking.
This was a little different though with the volume of people
