@benonwine Why would a neighbour have their camera pointed at his car that supposedly ‘rarely moved.’
He’s a patsy and it’s a set up.

[Helen Charlesworth @Helenjc7]

@benonwine This has got Tommy Mair ‘set up’ vibes to it.

@HerdImmunity12 If not political or terrorism, is there a deranged maniac on the loose on Dartmoor? Strangely no one is being told be lock doors/ be careful who they answer the door to 🤷🏼‍♀️ There isn’t even any description of the ‘man’ from her CCTV which has certainly been recovered.

@ClydeMax369 @RealCandaceO Who said ‘stay down’ just before he was shot?

@AStreetNearYou @bostonwayne @InscriptionsWw1 Ha ha! I’m sure they were very nice people 🫣😁

@bostonwayne @InscriptionsWw1 @AStreetNearYou I’m assuming guarding prisoners in the UK by the way the article on the Barnsley Chronicle was worded. His parents lived at Common End.

@bostonwayne @InscriptionsWw1 @AStreetNearYou Pte. Thomas Richard Lloyd of the 18th Bn. k.O.Y.L.I, died on the 3rd Nov 1917.
His death was registered in Hemsworth. He had been discharged Aug 1917. He was guarding German & Austrian prisoners in the UK & died after contracting an ‘Austrian’ disease!

@MrAndyNgo @YoungBobRB Tried looking it up online but nothing showing. I distinctly recall a case last year where a student was stabbed ( think he was wearing a backpack) trying to escape from someone who stole his phone - CCTV footage. I’m sure it said he died soon afterwards. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Helen Charlesworth @Helenjc7]

@MrAndyNgo @YoungBobRB As far as I remember the original news of this case when it happened [I could be wrong], it was reported that an eighteen year old student was stabbed after having his phone stolen. Footage showed him running away from his attacker.

@sotontimes We would like to hear the 999 call and who/ how many made it.

@SpeedwayGB @TheAces Absolutely awful news! Poor Dan 😢 I remember how resilient he was after breaking his femur when he was eighteen. Hoping it’s not a complicated fracture and he heals fast and well. Keep strong Dan.

@AStreetNearYou @bostonwayne Same here, I thought it odd too.
