ORIGINAL: Titan50 Eh, I'm more annoyed that the tabloids instantly cast anyone with a gun and anyone who supports said person a straight-up "monster". Obviously it is bad that he killed someone, but I think his whole case has been beefed up too much. Shot (didn't kill) one police officer and suddenly the whole force is after him? Shows more about the police than him. From what I can gather, the police fucked him over real bad, so his anger was justified. This. The Sun - Britain's so called best 'newpaper' - was painting anyone and everyone in the group as monsters and, to be honest, I found it absymal if that's a reflection of the majority of British people... I was in Sainsbury's with my Mum, the other day, and there was a copy of the Sun on the table in the cafe so we idly flicked through it. There was this huge story in it on Moat. Rather... stupidly, it painted his 'decent' from a baby to 'monster', including baby photos/images of him as a toddler. What's that all about, really? I couldn't care less if people hate the man, but why put baby photos of him up? If that's designed to stir up sympathy for the family, or leave you 'shocked' at his 'transformation' then you (objectively, not people in this forum) are actually brain-dead... OK - he was a murderer. OK - he shot at a policeman. But why the huge story/obsession with the man? Even know, after he's dead and 'justice' has been served, the media is still going on about him. What's the point? It just seems rather... creepy, to me XD
