Original Note:
The perpetrator is not an illegal immigrant. Unverified claims circulated on X blaming muslims. Rioters attacked a local nearby mosque and attacked the police that were surrounding it. The Police confirmed he was born in the UK, with no links to Islam. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv2gyv882nvo https://www.merseyside.police.uk/news/merseyside/news/2024/july/man-arrested-after-incident-in-southport/ https://news.sky.com/story/police-officers-injured-in-disorder-outside-southport-mosque-in-wake-of-deadly-stabbing-attack-13187710 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv2gyv882nvo https://x.com/marcowenjones/status/1818343641930514674 https://x.com/TimesRadio/status/1818315620334891065 https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/just-little-kids-taylor-swifts-message-after-shocking-uk-stabbings-2024-07-30/
