Er, I understand the Probation Officers and Prison social workers told the police what he'd said he would do. That's their job. It's the job of the police to act on it.

Hardly the Home Secretary's fault it wasn't acted upon.

And as for the people you mention being as much to blame as Moat, that's plain stupid.

The failings were not by the police who were left to pick up the pieces by the real culprits - The politicians, the judiciary and the prison social workers. They are the ones who allowed this thug to be sentenced to only 18 weeks in jail and then let him out after only 9 weeks.

THE HOME SECRETARY, THE LEGAL PROFESSION AND SOCIAL WORKERS WHO RELEASED HIM EARLY ARE AS GUILTY AS MOAT FOR THESE SHOOTINGS AND SHOULD HANG THEIR HEADS IN SHAME.

The police did a marvellous job in Rothbury and accomplished what they really set out to do - made sure no more innocents were harmed. Credit where credit is due.

Hi Marion, he'd push anyone over the edge I recon lol


your right there Gwynne!!

It needs to be sorted where the failing were with the police regards the threats he made on leaving prison that he was going to cause harm to his girlfriend......someone deparmental person needs to answer that question,,,,,!

Hi whirley. Maybe Gazza pushed him over the edge lol

A wife and child beater takes the coward's way out.
No surprise there.

Questions now need to be answered about why he was allowed to be free to shoot people when he was making threats to kill.

I thought that was an arrestable offence.

Gwynne

Sky news are flogging it to death, same old footage. They show it seconds before he shot himself and you can hear all this screaming.....must have been the point Gazza turned up...

Probably the best thing that could have happened to him.
I wonder how much all this has cost and will still be running up the £££.

simple answer Rose, Gazza needs another boring "all about me" story to sell to the Sun newspaper zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Just reading that Gazza showed up claiming to be a friend and to offer him a "can of lager, some chicken, a mobile phone and something to keep warm".

What is he on?

I agree Burton and good morning to you and all.

Too many do gooders in this World who wanna wrap people like Moat, Pedophiles and the like, in fluffy blankets and tell them "there there let's make you all better". We'll well rid of him.

Just goes to show what a Dear John letter can do.

He took possibly the best route for him,

Lets stop the sob story about the "tragic" death of a human being. This was the best result, Moat was an evil man in the midst of good people. He murdered one person and seriously injured another with a shotgun. Then he almost blew the face off a policeman sitting in a car.

If he had lived it would have been millions in the pockets of the legal profession to bring him to trial and then more millions to keep him in luxury for a few years until some do-gooder pleaded that he had reformed and should be released.

Police did a great job, tried to end it peacefully but in the end Moat did the right thing - job sorted.

Yes well done to the Police, despite the criticism they were getting, they got their man. Moat did the right thing in the end, he didn't deserve coming out of all this alive only to be trialed, banged up YET AGAIN with all the luxuries that go with it. He got his justice and ridded this world of the piece of scum he is.

My thoughts are with the families/victims in all this and HE wasn't a victim!!

I think the police did a wonderful job,

I think that this was always the most likely outcome going on previous incidences.

Well done to Northumbria police...despite everything they managed to ensure that no more innocent lives were lost and the people of Rothbury can now go about their business and sleep easy. xx

definitly glad its all over,
well done northumbrian police, and the other forces, xxxxx

He's DOA ....

Just glad it's all over and done with for the people of Rothbury..

They will be able to sleep peacefully in their beds now...

Yes Sue i agree but the man killed was someones son too .. the girl injured in hospital is someones daughter , granddaughter and most of all a mum , and the the police man shot was someones son too he was doing his job ... .. even Moats mum said Moat was better off dead .. too sad to know whats what right , but i know what i would want x
