Not sure what they're putting in the water up here but all very tragic and worrying.
Last night they sealed off the road two streets from mine, now they're searching a small touristy town in Northumberland.

It's the steroids and his ex girlfriend winding him up about being with a copper that's younger and fitter than him. Bunch of scrubbers.

Though I hope she recovers I hope she feels guilty for saying she was sleeping with a policeman and that poor bugger got shot. I quite often run to my Gran's over that roundabout as well.
Well at least I'm planning on moving to Nottingham, should be safe there right?

Nottingham tackles Asbo culture with early action It has been called the gun crime capital of the UK and has languished at the bottom of the education league tables, but now Nottingham is transforming its fortunes with a groundbreaking early intervention project to tackle Asbo culture. Anymore you mean  |

Finding people on 606 is like finding Raoul Moat.
What kind of Geordie name is Raoul? Is it just a normal name but pronounced with a Geordie accent?

I got the bus home from my Gran's last night and looked up at one of the stops to see a policewoman, a load of flowers and rubbernecking ghouls directly outside my window, and realised it was his old house. Very weird feeling.

I see some FB groups have been set up in his honour, with at least one group (17,000 members) lauding him as a hero for shooting a policeman. We have some seriously scummy people in this country  I bet every one of those people wouldn't hesitate to call the police if they needed them |

And people wonder why some police officers have an attitude about them. When they have to deal with the dregs of humanity on a daily basis and the majority of the general public still view them as useless, I wonder why anyone bothers to become an officer.

uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20100714/tuk-pm-brands-moat-a-callous-murderer-6323e80.htmlPrime Minister David Cameron has said there should be no public sympathy for gunman Raoul Moat, describing him as a "callous murderer".
Mr Cameron told the Commons any sympathy should be reserved for Moat's victims.
"It is absolutely clear that Raoul Moat was a callous murderer, full stop, end of story," he told MPs at Prime Minister's Questions .
"I cannot understand any wave, however small, of public sympathy for this man. There should be sympathy for his victims and the havoc he wreaked in that community."Say what you like about his party, but at least he didn't beat about the bush here!

I had a furious argument with one of my oldest friends at the weekend, his Dad was a striking miner and he hates the police. I'd mentioned I was thinking of joining and he lost it. I must say he displayed some terrible attitudes.

We have some seriously scummy people in this country I bet every one of those people wouldn't hesitate to call the police if they needed them There will always be the idiots that laud praise on clearly scummy people. You just need to see 'Sickipedia' and there are also hundreds of Facebook groups that support what Josef Fritzl and Derrick Bird did. I despair of my generation at the best of times. However, I think the media also has something to do with the fact he has become some kind of 'anti-hero'. Watching the rolling news channels on Friday was horrifying. There was a superb piece on Newswipe about a German school shooting, where there was a forensic psychiatrist speaking about how the media should handle this type of thing. |

It's the power baby, of course being a policeman in the UK would suck, no automatic assault rifles or 9mm sidearms I hear.  |
