[Closed] Raoul Moat/John Rambo

Yeah, but Johhny Rambo had a point and he did tell them not to push him.

Raoul Moat is just a deluded headcase with a gun and too much testosterone.

Apparently....

You are probably not wrong there...

If anyone does know the whereabouts of Raoul Moat, can they tell him that John terry, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney have also banged his girlfriend!

Boom tsh! I thank you.

Taxi....

He seems quite a prolific writer though. Maybe we'll get a whole book out of him before he's caught.

and he's ginger so he never stood a chance!

just send the SAS in, they will flush him out.

So how did he get a gun?

Gun laws just don't work.

#ihopehedoesntreadthis 😆

No idea why he is or the police are searching the area they are... There is a massive forest to the West that he could spend weeks in. That is if he is trying to get way - he may be trying to draw them into fight out and go out guns blazing.

Ive read some reports this morning saying that they are now heading out west towards Thropton and national park area which is more feasible if you ask me being a local.

It's odd this. The red-tops have "shoot to kill" all over the front of them and frenzied stories about machine-guns and the SAS. The Grauniad reports DCS Adamson as saying [i]"We want to apprehend you safely. Please give yourself up."[/i]

I think I prefer the version of policing in which they try to arrest the mentally ill man without hurting him. 🙂

So how did he get a gun?

derrick bird. . .

Id like to see him gunned down.

I suspect there's something very calculated going on with the messages coming out of the police and what they are actually doing. Some kind of big game of bluff....

He is clearly a headcase though

Im thinking of the 10k - might be spending a few more hours on my bike this weekend having a spoach about Simonside and Thrunton 🙂

gun laws don't allow for the legalities of lunacy.

I could easily do this and hide and never be found.

Anyone going to Keilder this weekend? Beware!

I can't really see how he's still out and about. If he's sleeping in the woods, then a thermal imaging camera on a helicopter, a few landsharks and men should have him found pretty quickly.

On the other hand, if he's holed up in someone's house then they can do door to door. Rothbury isn't a big place as far as I can see.

Kielder is a bit of a trek on foot from where they have been looking.

I've got an allotment in Rothbury that I was going to spend the weekend digging over. Would it be irresponsible of me to tell the police that I suspect he may have buried a victim there?

The Sun have printed a helpful picture of what to look for.
I particularly like that they've gone to the effort of explaining what the colour of the T shirt is. No doubt to aid those viewing in black and white.

Think I'll stay in the midlands after starting this thread, i could well be on the list. I can't believe they've got snipers out there tho, will they take the shot? Is that justifiable if he's spotted just trudging along half a mile away!!

I spent my holiday last week just 5 miles away from Rothbury. 😯

In fact, the day I left was the day he arrived. Has anyone told him about the cows moo-ing?

I think it's important that we keep in mind that Mr Moat is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. 🙂

Didn't see him in Thrunton last night. I even drove through Rothbury and didn't get searched.

#ihopehedoesntreadthis

Apparently he's not updated his Facebook page status so you should be ok (according to ITN) 😉

I'm also with tron regarding the woods scenario.
If they found the tent as stated , then surely they would have picked up a scent and been able to use dogs to track him.

right up until he gets in a car and drives off

Stop every MK3 Astra in the area then 😆 . Pretty much everything else requires housebreaking to get a set of keys, which isn't something I'd be doing if I were wanted.

This all comes down to celebrity culture and trying to get in your 15 minutes of fame.

So why are they still so convinced he's in those woods. Snipers etc. Or is it just a cunning ploy?

Has anyone told him about the cows moo-ing?

Oh Dog! They might tip him over the edge.

I'm waiting for the next MacTard on here to reply to a simple question about PCs with the tedious and erroneous "get a mac" line. I'm going to put up posters in Rothbury with a picture of said 'tard wearing a coppers hat and a made up quote from Samantha Stobbard about how lovely his male chicken is.
That'll learn 'em.

Either finding fugitives is actually quite hard, or the police are not really terribly good at it (or a mix of both). But in any event the over-time will no doubt be very welcome. And being a crack police sniper is probably pretty tedious most of the time, so spending a week in the summer stalking a lunatic with no particular aptitude for killing policemen through the pleasant moors of the Rothbury area is probably better than spending a day stuck in the office. 😉

But in any event the over-time will no doubt be very welcome.

If he's not found by this weekend is it classed as a raoul-over?

My parents live in Alnwick, about 14 miles away....

Gosh. Are they OK?

8)
😆

Gosh. Are they OK?

I'd imagine they're suffering like most people in the area due to that Harry Potter Castle problem.

I cannot belive The Sun forgot to add the Shotgun to that picture!

😉

Spot on Brant. My mum used to take guided tours round the gardens....

indeed, ski

probably loads have spotted him & checked with the pic

"no love, put the phone down. The red t-shirt's got mud on it AND this one's carrying a gun"

[img] [/img]

Now he is sporting an orange T shirt

"and besides, those are clearly size elevens"

Now he is sporting an orange T shirt

Let's hope the Dutch don't lose or there really will be trouble.

Thats not even raoulmoatly funny.

At least we know what he looked like when he was 6. 🙄 😀

Premiership relegation front runners Newcastle United are close to signing Raoul Moat as he is the only geordie to have 3 shots on target & is wanted all over Europe...

Sorry.... 😕

He does look a bit mental even at 6.

The Grauniad's "live updates" on the deadly manhunt have not been updated for 20 minutes. I'm on the edge of my seat.

This picture remains quite amusing however:

Childhood Ginger = Adult Ninja

That's one nervous bull.

Loving the Raoul-over comment!

What kind of effing name is "Raoul" for a massive ginger Geordie? I blame the parents for this debacle 😀

All that picture need's is Raoul in the background kicking an ostrich to be perfection 🙂

😆

How many days worth of chips did he steal.

I heard a lot of battering went on in the Chippy...... 🙄

I plan to head up to Kielder on Saturday for my first ride in a long long time and I'm presented with the only day of rain forecast for 2010, midge hell and potentially a steroid-addled gun-toting chip-thief. Great!

I can't really see how he's still out and about. If he's sleeping in the woods, then a thermal imaging camera on a helicopter, a few landsharks and men should have him found pretty quickly.

There's caves all around the area.

Apparently they're checking out Elsdon now too.

It's a huge area and wouldn't be too hard to move around unnoticed and cover a lot of ground.

Pretty much everything else requires housebreaking to get a set of keys, which isn't something I'd be doing if I were wanted.

He broke into Wagtail for some food, it's alleged.

Anyway he don't seem to be near Alnwick but all this media attention could highlight the trails in Thrunton which just isn't on apparently.

LOL @ Whos Daddy

What kind of effing name is "Raoul" for a massive ginger Geordie?

There were at least two but the other one moved to London 😆

That guy with the gun and the bald head looks like me!

It isn't is it? I'd better check the clock machine to see if i'm actually here or if i'm out in the woods huntin' gingers.

There are trails in Thrunton ?????

are there trails in Thrunton? I've never seen any 😀

the area the police think he is in is massive, with plenty of abandoned buildings, caves around Thrunton and surrounding areas, and many dense forests, if he is out there, and can get food he'll be out a long time. My mum lives north of rothbury, and within 5 minutes of her house there are two big forests that have crags and caves that you could easily hide in for a long time, trick is to keep moving.

It's a huge area and wouldn't be too hard to move around unnoticed and cover a lot of ground.

When you hear about escape and evasion exercises done by the army, folks generally don't stay evaded for very long. Granted, the stakes are higher for Moat, but it would surprise me if he couldn't be found fairly easily if he were in the open, and they're looking in the right area.

Tron it's a freakin huge area and has lots of areas to hide, I bet I only know a few % of them but would be enough to stay hidden. If he doesn't draw attention to himself then it'll be hard to spot him.

The SAS have used the area in the past for evasion training, they couldn't find them but then they didn't ask the local farmers who were feeding them and knew where they were.

In the film version, he'd have ambushed some policemen by now. Or built a cunning trap for them or something. The real-life version is getting boring.

I'm still waiting for a picture of him to be posted up showing him having "issues" with his tubeless setup.

They need to send in the suicide rabbits

I reckon that rocket propelled chainsaw would do it.

Probably best to keep them indoors for a few days

al, that's a rabbit, not a chainsaw

Childhood Ginger = Adult Ninja

This thread has the makings of a classic!

Raoul is the name of a dodgy Brazilian drug dealer, not a Ginger Geordie. No wonder it all went so wrong. What gun is he using? If it's a shotgun or a handgun, he won't be able to shoot very far.

I suggest sending in the Knights of Ni to shout at him loudly from just over 40 yards.

PMSL..

he must have watched predator, just jump into the nearest river and climb out onto a muddy bank, they'll never find him.

also i cannot believe they have drafted in TEN armoured police vans from Belfast (according to BBC this morning) WTF!

I hope they've got him in time for the K100.

That could be an extra incentive to make the cut offs though...

From the bbc website

"About 40 firearms officers from
the Metropolitan Police have
been sent to the area while the
Police Service of Northern
Ireland has sent 20 armoured
cars."

I really don't see the point in this, the guy's obviously pretty intelligent and won't be taking pot shots at passing police cars.

after 3 shootings and one death his father stated, "this has gone too far"

clearly insight and wisdom have a genetic element

I really don't see the point in this, the guy's obviously pretty intelligent and won't be taking pot shots at passing police cars.

He already did.

scaredy a plan for a rocket propelled chainsaw was posted up recently. 40hp.
