Was he from the peaceful people,???.
cutting people's benifits drives them to do desperate crazy things he couldn't afford the fuel for his brand new range rover or even a 😮pair of shoes
No one was hurt because no one was at the cinema because their ain't any good films out to watch 😂
Flip flops gibe it away
Police saying guns like it a rare thing when it only happened in Wallasey about a year ago
Definitely wasn't black if they tasered
Its ok keep on letting them in country is a joke
So much for the UK strict gun laws
Mental health is real. This guy definitely suffers from a mental illness should have got help🏥🏥🏥 before this incident.
People from Fazakerley have always felt inferior to those from norris green and croxteth 😂😂
Do we know the ethnicity of the offender?
Lol Out with a Rifle and Flip Flops 😂
Masons , very likely fake news. There are some occult numbers , like 3 .
Dunblane staged lie, zero died. Gun grab. So they create these stories to make fun of taking away the guns, and also to maintain the view that guns need to be avoided. We need more guns , in the hands of ordinary people who just want to work. And defend themselves . Sickos
So much for gun control. Time the British People DEMANDED are hand guns back. Enough of the stupidity.
Uk ex forces
It's not even begun, 2025
Here we go… Jumping on the diversity bandwagon before you even know anything 🙄 I take it you'll come back on here and comment again when corrected?
He was wearing flip flops so it's obvious he belongs to the most peaceful of peaceful religions – Have the Police mentioned this by any chance?
thats one hell of a fire alarm
Why is he not named very suspicious .
been watching to much avunahood
That was a diversion for what I wonder.. Why else would you do something that blatant and obvious! What else has gone down last? night?
Distraction from Prince Andrew
What ethnic background is he
Were all the racist? If deese wer black guys people would spam racist comments, when its a white guy its just a crime and his race has nothing to do with it, its down to poor areas not race
Not white then? That would have got mentioned straight away
Proper muppets in these comments..he is white and Liverpool has a pretty low violent crime rate compared to rest of the country London Manchester Birmingham and even north east are jungles compared to Liverpool.
Why not call it a Christian terrorist?
