Look at the taser dude!
Oh it's a taser. I thought it was one of those little water proof cameras you take on beach holidays. They are by a river after all.
I still think he looks a bit comedic in that tin hat though. I cant take their accents seriously either.

Look at the bald dude. This is a serious situation and he shows up with a comedy false moustache.
Yes, I know it's the aerial on the other guy's radio.

Now Raoul Moat is dead Paul Gascoigne can rest easy.
Safe in the knowledge that he once again the biggest mental-head in Newcastle.

Raoul Moat has had his Facebook profile deleted on the grounds that he no longer has a face.

Odd that there were screams in the 'green' vid off the telly, sounded like he was begging for mercy. Latest is that he was tazed whilst holding the gun to his own head (which would probably cause him to squeeze the trigger anyway).
Not that I have great sympathy for the murderer, but I get the feeling that it was not a simple case of willing suicide - and the old bill get to create the most convenient outcome to wrap things up nicely.

I reckon he was executed and it was always on the cards. After all the plod were after their pound of flesh.
Questions
why were reporters kept at bay when in Afghanistan they go on patroll with the troops?
Who was the copper screwing his girlfriend?
Apparently he was arrested 10 times without charge prior to his conviction.
Why were the top coppers laughing and calling him a nutter on the telly?
Why wasn't he shot with a tranquiliser dart at sundown?
Why were so many of his mates willing to help him if he was just a crazy case?
His relative says there were no signs of tazer use in the coroners report.
Scumbag he maybe but I thought he was dead meat as soon as he shot a copper.

Rain pouring down, coppers getting wet, tazer fingers aching, 1am at night, weekend coming up, embarrasment of not catching him for a week, not tracking him in the first place.......
