Raoul Moat dies after police stand-off
Britain’s most wanted man was finally captured after a week on the run following a siege which began yesterday evening.
...
Moat went on the run a week ago after allegedly blasting his ex-girlfriend and killing her new lover.
Karate instructor Chris Brown, 29, was gunned down in the Scafell area of Birtley, Gateshead.
The fatal shooting, in which 22-year-old Miss Stobbart received critical injuries, sparked a huge manhunt as Moat declared “war” on police.
This is news? Why? Because a Brit had a gun?
No, because it was the biggest manhunt in modern British history for a murderer.
However, if in American terms this type of thing is not a big deal it is a nice compliment to Britain.
I had to look him up. A terrible man indeed.

The poor guy had good teeth
Now that is a story!
Deploring the Tornado is not going to help. It would be better to have deployed it, determined how it did, and then decided whether or not to deplore it.
Haha - I hate to burst even more stereotypes but British teeth are the healthiest in the western world. :)
Whatever you say, noob.
Lets not get carried away with reality
Is that slang for Sir? :)
Jolly good.
Is that slang for Sir? :)
Yes
He shot his ex’s new boyfriend because he though the boyfriend was a cop. Later, he walked up to a policeman who was in his squad car and shot through the window, hitting the officer. Thus the manhunt and publicity.
