So your saying Moat bore no responsibilities for his action & downfall.
Lets review the events
His girlfriend broke up with him whilst he was in prison, & He could see the copper face who put him there. Well the question is why was he in prison ? Because HE committed a crime (assuming he wasn’t fitted up).
For all you know it was the final straw for his gf, & why whine about a policeman arresting you for a crime. That’s the idea of the Police. if you cant do the time, don’t do the crime.
Unfortunately you cant arrest people for what they might do, or what you think they might do. It can hard enough arresting people for things they have done. His Facebook entry was made after he left prison.
This man shot the mother of his child, & murdered her new bf. You might argue a crime a passion. People break up from partners everyday, & some get [zb] on. It’s the risk you take when forming relationships. It doesnt give the right o go on a psychotic rampage. Then he cold bloodedly shoots a copper at random, for being a copper. Using his logic, if a lorry driver runs off with your wife, you have the right to shoot lorry drivers.
The only other people to blame for Moat’s actions, where whom ever gave him the gun. they knew his intentions. They might as well pulled the trigger themselves.
I didnt say you should whine about a policeman arresting you for a crime, but he aint going to be your favorite person in the world. The girlfirend certainly didnt do any good buy saying she was with a police man did she. Consider your mental state when you are banged up for the majority of the day, doing the same routine over and over again. I agree with if you cant do the time, dont do the crime but he done his time so has payed for what ever he done to put himself there.
While in prison you are monitored and before being released you are accessed are you telling me nothing was picked up, well they didnt need to him told gaurds what he was going to do. After being released you are monitored or supposed to be so you would think something openly put on the internet may of been picked up and maybe the police could of took the girlfriend away of stopped it before it came to death.
I said that his actions were not the right thing to do, if it was you in that situation what would you do. I think you would do the same as me and feel hurt maybe annoyed but I would do what he did so to me that tells you something about his mental state and he obviously needed help.
Unfortuantly there are people out there with no morales and money rules their brains, if you go to someone who sells guns do you think they care what you do with it. Well to me its bloody obvious what you want a gun for. Maybe the old bill should put a little more recourses into getting these weapons of the streets, getting these drugs of the streets. But they know they are fighting a losing battle so instead to make figures look better they spend there time setting up check points to get easy convictions against motorist.
Please dont mis understand what I am saying anyone who gets caught by the police for anything deserves what they get. My point is that situations like this shouldnt happen it could of and should of been avoided instead 2 men are dead and 2 other people are lying in intensive care.
