Stive Pesley Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Been a bit of an information vacuum this last hour or so Some fella ironically posted a video on Twitter of nothing whatsoever happening around a police cordon, and got hassled by various media outlets for the rights to use his video 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I sincerely hope any derby fans, Forest fans and anyone in Nottingham are safe and accounted for. This is a little too close to home for my liking. Turk Thrust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 My money is on a terrorist incident. And expect a few more over the coming year in the lead up the General Election. Call me a cynic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 The Police have locked down my Wife's workplace, they're unsure if it was a solo effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Let's not take this topic down the politics path. I also don't think it's right to speculate on the attack, wait for the Police to release more details.

Van der MoodHoover Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Sounds terrible. Lots of detail emerging on the BBC live news feed. 2 stabbed on Ilkeston Road, one other death nearby, 3 people being run over allegedly deliberately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying you're wrong, but a straight up terrorist attack would normally want to target more people and be more visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I passed the 1st murder spot last night on my way home, the other murder spot is a mile or so from the bottom of my street, the mowing down of people waiting for a bus a mile and a half away, and he was arrested halfway between my work and home. When it's so close to home, kids and an innocent fella going about his business the victims, outsiders speculating about motive gives no comfort at all.

nottingram Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Used to live on Ilkeston Road at uni a few years ago. Brings it home a little bit when I’ve probably walked the same route as those students at the same time about 50 times over. Was always an area you knew you might have to keep your wits about you but could never imagine something like this happening there.

In real life though, there's lots to be hopeful about. The vast majority of people just muddle through best they can, treating others with respect and kindness, hoping for the same treatment themselves, and give a wide berth to those who peddle extreme views of any sort. Fascists have never taken off in the UK, even when they've been a fashionable option, as a Nation we just don't do extremes. Probably for the same reasons we still have a constitutional monarchy. Look at the response of Manchunians to the Arena bombing, any hate drowned out a bee and a city drawing strength from what unites them, rather than divides them, and inviting others to do the same. The same will happen in Nottingham I'm sure, whatever the outcome of investigations reveal. It could be terrorism, it could be a mental health crisis, but having lived here for nearly 30 years I believe the people of this city will respond appropriately, no matter what social media says.
