UK - Car drives into pedestrians at Liverpool FC victory parade. Man detained, 26 May 2025

Just a nice family man, apparently

 

[Marantz4250b]

Agreed.

It's not uncommon for service people to have an offence of lashing out, especially if very young, but this guy seems to be a right lunatic, tbh.

 

[Legal]

I did think that …. Especially a club of that size and financial resources.
It would go a very long way.

So he’s got form for losing his temper and been inside before, not massively surprised.
To behave like he did that day would suggest anger issues on a very large scale in my opinion.

Yes, it's hard to imagine he managed to keep his temper in control for 30 years.

Doyle's got 21 years and 6 months.

 

[Parker Knoll]

Out in 14.
Mmmmm.

Mmmmm.

Just 10% discount for the guilty plea, otherwise would have been 24 years.

I don't like the way having a family is seen in any way as mitigating. Just because you have children doesn't mean you're of good character!

 

[Sarahlou]

Too lenient. IMO.
I can see him getting into trouble in prison and not being released then though. Or ending his own life.

 

[helenff]

Hope this prevents anyone ever again suggesting this is the fault of Liverpool fans. This is a man whose rage could not be stopped.

As for Marines-based PTSD?! He bit a man's ear off!

 

[Marantz4250b]

Doyle's got 21 years and 6 months.

Wow!

 

[Marantz4250b]

Out in 14.
Mmmmm.

Maybe.

As someone who was born within a month of him, that sounds like a lifetime! He'll be, erm.........don't think I'll go there, tbh

 

[bbsaz]

They made a point of stating that he never saw active service. Just guarded the nuclear base
And fought a lot. Shuts up those saying he had PTSD from being in the military.

He'll be about 68.

Still can’t understand why he did what he did.

 

[Marantz4250b]

He'll be about 68.

Yeah, cheers for that!

 

[Marantz4250b]

Still can’t understand why he did what he did.

Because he has control issues and is probably some sort of narcissist or something.

 

[Yellowbelly]

Still can’t understand why he did what he did.

Clear anger management issues in his younger days, which for some reason came to the surface again after 30 years of turning his life around and staying out of trouble. I suspect even he doesn't know why he suddenly flipped.

Or still causing trouble that he just didn't get caught for?

I think that’s more likely.
