Lordship Lane incident

[TheAllSeeingEye]

Admin, I would also ask that freedom of speech is allowed ... no-one is saying anything harmful, no more gossip or hearsay on here than there is on any other thread after all. But yes, if you saw something then pass it on to the right people.

I still hope they are not too badly hurt!

[karter]

Asset, agreed. I was onsite when it happened KK. :p

[Ms T]

Blood everywhere, how terrible.

I asked police what was going on as my son often comes home at that time and the 185 was in the cordon, he said "someone was stabbed" I asked if it was a young guy, he said "Is your son black" I said no, then he said you've nothing to worry about, and he's not dying.

It would be wrong to assume that.

[KalamityKel]

Anyone know how much of LL has been closed off?

[sweetgirl]

Would also be wrong to assume ppl are not responsible beings don't you think?

No need to come down heavy handed on us mere members admin for saying it as we're hearing and seeing now.

[ratty]

Nasty business - little coonts need a good shoeing in my opinion!

[Domitianus]

Kes, let's leave the speculation, rumour, innuendo and gross innaccuracy to the professional media - it's their job :-)

I have not said that, I am asking people to report anything they may have seen to the police.

Sorry if I appear "heavy handed", I am simply asking people to not post rumours as they can be detrimental to the incident, such as the "someone's been killed" "no one's been killed" posts.

Major or minor, it's still one too many.

[karter]

Domi, this is a reason i retired from this forum as i was telling you on that stretch of road earlier, people making things up and so forth so it's hard to know what to believe. Yes agreed too, maybe just leave it to the media. Photographer got there quick.:)

We should remember Munich 1972, when news that all the Israeli athletes had been freed unharmed turned out to be all the Israeli athletes were dead.

[TheAllSeeingEye]

maybe Im an old cynic, maybe not, but ultimately these things can have a "greater good". I hope no-one is injured too seriously, but if it means that the "clowns" involved in the incident change their ways long-term then maybe, just maybe, the world might be a better place for us all, them included. Better it didnt happen in the first place sure, but if it does lets hope it has a positive impact to those involved.

[kford]

It's exactly like munich

[Domitianus]

just pointing out that rumours that turn out untrue can affect victim's nearest and dearest.

[bignumber5]

kel and theallseeingeye, i think admin is just trying to make the (very good) point that rumour mungering about something this serious isn't particularly constructive - i've seen relatives in hospital waiting rooms browsing the forum on PDAs and putting the fear into them on principle of freedom of speech isn't so helpful. Neither is knit-picking an attempt to encourage people to come forward.

(edit: cross posted with above, who makes the point better)

LL Buses on redirect down to Peckham Rye and then up Barry Road.

[mummypig]

if it means that the "clowns" involved in the incident change their ways

not those clowns again!

[mike.j.wazowski]

I just discover blood on my car after the police cut the road...

I don't know if it's common here because I ve just arrived in the area... but it's a little bit scary...
