Classed as homicide hey, well that will be about 4 years then.
Almost the same as someone placing a disgruntled statement on Facebook.
I see a pattern emerging here….
Or am i a right-wing conspiracy theorist.
Please tell me mainstream media as i can't think for myself.
This would of been linked to america t attack, but the ridiculously T is reserved for one group is pathetic. And far far right are to dumb and stubborn to see through it, as they are a lost cause.
Was the vehicle driven by a Muslim?
The amount of idiots in the comments is actually insane
Islam……
MURDER! The word is MURDER. Why is our language being altered by idiots who think that changing it will change or confuse the British public.
Why did the chicken cross the road? Because he heard a Muslim was driving…
In a 20mph area
From other sources, a “gay” motive is suspected.
Usual victims 😂😂😂
I wonder if it was the big bad right wingers that they constantly demonize and bang on about
Car attack aka terrorist attack
Why wont they say he a terrorist??
As always, Comments is flooded with Russian bots. Anything to foment discontent and social division. The sheep suck it all up.

If the driver possesses a valid driver license then authority should how did he acquire a driving license otherwise I think this is an act of peace.
Cultural enrichment?
Murder
There’s a lot of people driving rather fast these past couple days. hurting innocent people of all ages.
hes white! we can let it go. Anthony Gilheaney, 30, of Harlow in Essex, appeared in court last week charged with four counts of attempted murder.
Just part of living in a big city like London right Kahn?
Please don’t spread assumptions or misinformation. Aiden was my best friend—a kind and compassionate person who lived by his faith as a Muslim. On that tragic night, he was struck by a drunk driver in a stolen car, along with three others. We, his friends and family, are heartbroken. Instead of jumping to conclusions or spreading hate, let’s remember the importance of empathy and wait for the full truth to be known. This is about real lives and real loss—let’s treat it with the respect it deserves.
Since when has the UK used "homicide" as description? Too much binge watching of SWAT..
