[Closed] Raoul Moat/John Rambo

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.

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.

I very much doubt he has the ability to make a stand. Does he even have access to ammunition?

I think the police will take him down even if he so much as makes a gun shape with his fingers.

So how did he get a gun?

Gun laws just don't work.

He didn't get it legally did he? He's just come out of prison, doubt he got one while he was in there. Might have got details of who could get him a gun.

Gun laws can work, they just can't cover all situations. Derrick Bird had a legally held weapon, just wasn't mad when he applied for his shotgun licence.

Well somebody had to say it...

With him being a ginger 48 hours of sun shine will have him buying some factor 50. The police should stake out Boots.

I can't escape the impression that all this palaver must be very satisfying for him. A narcissistic, paranoid idiot, convinced that the police are out to get him. Now [i]hundreds[/i] of them [i]are[/i] out to get him. He wants to kill policemen. They demonstrate how rattled they are by going completely OTT with armoured vehicles, snipers and great squads of them wandering about with machineguns. He despises them, they can't actually catch him, making him feel brave and clever and them look cowardly, inept and stupid.

I'm sure the tactic has been discussed and discarded, but if they just scaled it right back and waited for him to do something it would surely be harder for him. The adrenaline would go, it'd get boring, he'd start to wonder whether anyone actually noticed or was remotely bothered. The nagging sense that he might have done something monumentally stupid and didn't necessarily have to make it worse for everyone would perhaps have time to grow. Don't know. 😕

I think the police will take him down even if he so much as makes a gun shape with his fingers.

At least that will save the taxpayer some money after the £££££££ this must be costing in overtime.

I think he read too much Viz

Wannabe criminal mastermind perhaps?

lol Harry that's almost uncanny.

If i was the chief copper I'd just call him a big pansy on national TV, thats should get him out

but if they just scaled it right back and waited for him to do something it would suurely be harder for him

Eh? He has made clear his intention to attack police officers. If you scale things back, and give up actively hunting for him he can pick and choose when to attack and when to hide/run. He could also commit more armed robberies, have access to criminal associates for support and have access to future victims.
