Re: Moat - end of story

All this could have been avoided 7 days ago if the Police had done their job properly....no matter how you judge the later stages of this...they got it very badly wrong from the start,...to my mind they are complicite in a Murder!..Heads should roll on this one!

Best Regards - Taggy

Police said Saturday the man they suspect is the fugitive gunman they have been chasing for a week was undergoing treatment after a shot was fired in the stand-off between them.

why they didnt shoot him in the head and save a NHS bill i dont know, they had teh perfect excuse to kill and merely wounded him it seems

Re: Moat - end of story

Rothbury's MP is yet undecided wether or not to put the cleaning up of this moat on to his expenses

Re: Moat - end of story

They're still milking this - one of the bbc reporters has just said he was speaking to one of Moat's ex-partners grandmother last night.... why ???? Aopparently she said he was never going to give himself up alive, no >>>> Sherlock!

Re: Moat - end of story

You are awful you lot, after all a life has been lost here:rolleyes:Well I suppose it saves me the trouble of banging on about how we should hang the bar steward and save taxpayers money, if only all these nut jobs would do the honourable thing and shot themselves;)

There should have been a news blackout on this story.....well except for the local people, who really need to know what is going on.
This man is going to have been gloating at how he outwitted the authorities. Just what a man of his intellect needed...his ego being massaged by Sky News.
He has made the police look inept.
Or am I the only one who feels this way?

I have to disagree. I happen to be a firm believer in the provisions and intent of the First Ammendment to the US Constitution .... you probably know what it is so I won't quote it. And that intent exists, I'm sure, in Britain, and in British law. It might not be pretty; but the alternative is a controlled and censored media.

Of course he is gloating; he has already achieved more than his alloted time of fame. But his type is hardly a rarity.

And I do not think that your police looked inept. They were in a no-win situation, playing supporting actors to a probably insane leading man. I think that the British police perform in a much more professional manner than would the kind of "shoot-'em-and-then-ask-'em questions later" inbreds that act as deputy sheriffs in Alabama, and Mounties at Vancouver Airport.
