Jimcalagon Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Where's Raoul Moat? If you can find him you're doing better than a couple of thousand coppers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierrot Lunaire Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Where's Raoul Moat? If you can find him you're doing better than a couple of thousand coppers... It's amazing how, in such a busy image, that tacked on rifle looks immediately obvious and wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananaman Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Manchester City have bid £45m for Raoul Moat. They've no idea who he is, but they've heard everyone is after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I have to say that without all the media hype, this affair could well be over. They seem to be forcing him further and further underground and an extreme reaction from him is becoming more likely. Listening to the police officers, they don't seem to be very convincing in their appeals to him to give himself up! They sound very threatening and provocative and it makes me feel that they want to shoot him because he has wounded one of them! Surely a more communicative person should be appealing to this guy! The talk that he has made threats to the general public seem like a ploy to get opinion onto the side of finishing him off, the reports of threats that haven't been made public. I'm not defending him but he won't be the last person to flip over a failed love partnership! It's easy to call the guy a nutter etc but there but for the grace of God....etc. He doesn't look like a steroid type, they usually go bald when they get to the rage point I think, could be wrong.

It's one thing carrying out a "crime of passion" and losing it for a moment, but he later went on to shoot a copper for no reason and I think that's overstepping the "let's try and be nice and communicate with him" mark ever so slightly. He certainly doesn't sound like a character you'd want anywhere near other people... Anyway, Northumbria police put a £10K price on Raoul Moat. If he doesn't get caught soon it'll go up to £20K, making it a Raoulover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkydevil Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 He doesn't look like a steroid type, they usually go bald when they get to the rage point I think, could be wrong. Think there are a few articles of people saying he took them. "Family members said that he used body-building steroids." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/10534472.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinkydevil Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Seen on Twitter that sky news are reporting they are sending in one of Moats friends (Tony Laidler) as part of the negotiations. Someone posted a link to this guys profile page on facebook. Looks like a nice chap, angrily brandishing either a knife or a chocolate curly wurly. http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=1198801843 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
