Current Affairs Stabbing incident in Southport

Poor, poor kids. The world's disgusting sometimes, can't get my head around this.

Echo updated at 16.01 still saying one fatality. BBC at 5 and Sky at 17.13 still reporting 8 being treated for injuries.

I really hope the echo is wrong.

Proper shook me this. The level of cruelty what’s gone on here can’t even be put into words.

No update on echo site since 2.15. BBC and Sky both currently still reporting 8 being treated, no mention of fatalities DG.

There are reasons, often at the request of emergency services, why respectable outlets won’t publish a confirmed fatality or fatalities. It’s all about due process and relatives.

The Echo’s reporting may be accurate, but just crass!

Another young life wasted, and no doubt another family devastated. All just so senseless.

So many factors now sadly. I often think where we'll be even in another 20/30 years. I see so many people now with a sense of entitlement that simply didnt exist when i was growing up. They think they can do and act as they like as their rights protect them.
Very complex subject but spiralling down is a true description. I find myself becoming a misanthrope the older i get.

A lot I feel has to do with social media..

With the age. Does that mean he can't be named legally until a judge says he can be charged as an adult?

Probably not until the judge lifts reporting restrictions after charge.

Probably not until the judge lifts reporting restrictions after charge.

It may not occur until he’s found guilty.
