Raoul Moat - Hero or Villain?

Raoul Moat - Hero or Villain?

A very good question.
The vast outpouring of sympathy for this man and all the people coming out of the woodwork to say what a great guy he was - after he was dead though - makes me sick.

Here is a guy who, with malice in his heart, shot his ex-girlfriend deliberately with a less powerful shotgun charge so as to maim her so she would get compensation from the victims support!
He shoots her boyfriend three times. Once when he checks out if Moat was outside.
The boyfriend manages to stagger inside and call the police on his mobile and is then shot in the chest, and then Moat walks up to him as he is almost lifeless on the floor, and shoots the boyfriend in the head for the third and final killing blow.
No open casket for this victims mother to grieve over!!
Then, Moat drives about town shooting anyone he thinks wronged him, and any other bystanders who just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time!

His brother who has been estranged for the last 20 odd years, then has the gall to blame the police for supposedly pushing his brother to suicide after hours of armed standoff !?! Made up bunkum.

Moats history before was he was a violent thug who beat up men and women, and had a raging temper due to substance abuse.

It was his own body building excess and his own choice to take the drugs, so lets not feel sorry for this blot on society!

Wake up and smell the roses, please!

He is only a hero to the blinkered narrow minded idiots of society who cant judge whats obviously right and wrong in the world. A man who cant settle his grievance with his fellow men with out the need to use physical violence is better off not being in society.

Society - what does it mean then hey?
1)a body of individuals living as members of a community; community.
2)the body of human beings generally, associated or viewed as members of a community: the evolution of human society

Moat never fitted in with this at all in my book and I find it offensive that anyone can take his side in this matter after what he did.
