How is this for the use of a car as a lethal weapon? Any bets as to
the punishment, if any? Do you think, on the other hand, the victim
was to blame for getting in the way of the driver? Or aren't there
enough facts yet to determine blame? Any other excuses for this death?

"A 20-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a
man, believed to be a football fan, was fatally struck by a car in
Birmingham.

The incident happened after the Premier League derby between Aston
Villa and Birmingham City.

The victim, 26, was hit by a Volkswagen Golf in Aston Hall Road, close
to Villa Park, where the home side had won 5-1. He was pronounced dead
in hospital.

West Midlands Police said the suspect was in custody and being
questioned.

The incident took place at about 1500 BST on Sunday..."

Since Murder carries a mandatory life sentence, I'm not quite sure what
your point is...

Obviously, he might not be tried for murder, especially as he used a
car to do it. It could be as little as dangerous or even careless
driving. Had he used a knife or gun instead it would be a vastly
different matter. "He stepped out in the way of my knife/gun your
Honour. I didn't have time to stop using it."

Doug (Doug riseup.net>) gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying:

Depends on the evidence available. Since they've arrested him on
suspicion of murder, it would seem that they think there is sufficient
evidence.

How do you square that with the fact that he's been arrested on suspicion
of murder, and it's been announced as such?

Unlikely, given the arrest.

Duhng? If it was a deliberate killing, and the perpetrator is
convicted of murder, he will get a life sentence. You have posted
similar stories in the past, in which the driver has been given a life
sentence, leaving you looking stupid. So no change there, then.

PS No political motive is mentioned, but you obviously have extra info
(as you refer to the driver as a terrorist) - do share.

If they believe he used the car as a weapon then the charge will be
the same as using any kind of weapon. But you know that as its been
told to you many times.

9/11 extremists - not terrorists
IRA - not terrorists
Person driving car - terrorist
Little old lady's in a sewing circle - terrorists.

Hope that clears things up.

The story cannot therefore be true.

Where was the political agenda he was trying to force upon someone by
violence?
