Unbelievably, Raoul Moat, the man who blasted his ex-girlfriend in the stomach with a shot-gun before shooting and killing her new partner and then shooting a police officer is being hailed a hero by some.
PC David Rathband, 42, was sat in his police car when Moat approached his vehicle, stared at him and then shot him in the face and shoulder at close range. The wounded policeman played dead until Moat had gone before pressing the panic button on his police radio. The brave father of two has now been told that he has lost the sight in both eyes but is determined to carry-on his work with the police force.
A 21-year-old single mother from Burnley even decided to set-up a Facebook page in tribute to the murderer after thinking it was funny that he had managed to avoid capture from the police. The page which attracted more than 38,000 members has since been shut down but another is already up and running after being set up by another supporter.
A shrine at the site where the killer eventually died has also now been cleared by angry neighbours who agree that Moat should not be hailed a legend after his despicable actions.
The former girlfriend of Moat is now under police protection in the hospital where she is recoverying from her injuries after threats to run her out of town.
What is wrong with society today, this man was a violent thug and deserved everything he got, the only downside as far as I can see is that he did not shoot himself before he shot those three other people!
