Why do Armchair Anarchists think Raoul Moat is now a cult hero? Options

[Irish John]

Those with far too much time on their Facebook twittering hands appear to be promoting a mentally unstable deadman to cult hero status. Facebook are refusing to delete said deadman's account. However despite Facebook's shameless self promotion (of which they need little anyway) why would a country get behind another pathetic gunmen in a long line of pathetic english gunmen? Would the same people be praising the Hungerford massacre had it happened now? Discuss...

He use to make his 4 year old daughter sit outside with a plaque around her neck saying 'i have been naughty' for 2 hours which is just awful

It could have been worse - he could have sent her to sew the soles on cheap trainers of forage in the local tip. But that is okay though, isn't it?

In other countries you can got to stonings too.

Eh?

Eh?

You expressed a wish to stone to death an ill man. In other countries you'd be able to go and watch such a spectacle.

Do gooders will always be on the side of such evil men I am afraid. DannyBoy fits that bill. I think we ought to get him to dress up as a trannie and go pay Mr Sutcliffe a visit.
It would be a good way of seeing if he had been 'rehabilitated'

Err, where did I say he should be let out? Or that he had been rehabilitated?

Rather twisted that you think a 'trannie' should be used to test a disturbed man's state of mind.

Dannyboy - Get a grip man. It was a joke on YOUR expense. People have differing views on subjects like this. If he had killed my Mum I'd still want him dead. And I'd quite happily perform the task in hand. Its is not one of those cases where there is any doubt about his guilt in any case. The man was / is evil and deserves his life in jail at the very least.

You appear to belong to the group of people that is in the 'forgive and forget' mentality. It's not one that I agree with personally but you do have the right to free speech.

Nope. He should remain in Hospital. He is a sick & dangerous man. Sick, as in ill & therefore in need of treatment.
I don't agree with the lynch mob mentality of capital punishment. Bloggo is happy to accept that a few innocent people would go to the gallows. No thanks.

I respect your view.
A few innocent people may go to the gallows and I can't deny that. However I believe it would save the lives of countless others from being willfully slaughtered by criminals for whom prison is not a deterent.

'Slaughtered by criminals?'. A byline worthy of the NotW.

apart from police killers, the only other category of murderer you think should be hung are child killers & serial killers. Both the exact type of person likely to be mentally disturbed when carrying out their crimes.
If you really do think that the death penalty is the only deterent that will make killers think twice, I would suggest that those who are not in full control of their faculties in the first place are unlikely to consider the consequences of their actions.

Now a mugger, burglar, etc etc who is not aversed to the use of violence might think twice before arming themselves to aid their criminal activity. Yet this class of criminal isn't on your list of those to face the death penalty.

Yes and your point is?

You're right, I'll add them to the list.

News of the World.

I can't be bothered to explain it - it was pretty clear to start with.
