Siobhan O’Dowd says that she just published her Moat Farcebook site just for her friends. Well how naive is that. Anyone who creates a group on Farcebook knows that they are inviting other folks to join.
Over 30,000 signed up to agree that Moat was a legend, a hero. So O’Dowd thinks hiding from the police makes Moat a legend even though he had killed and maimed people. She claims that they, the police, were stupid because he managed to avoid capture and , she even thought this was funny. Never mind the fear that the residents of Rothbury had to suffer while the police searched. And what about the other folks that have subsequently been arrested for aiding Moat.
Surely murderers are not legends.
Also in her naivety this silly young woman also says that she does not like the police because she is harassed by them.
In my experience the people who complain of police harassment do so because they are up to no good themselves and have been found out.
Moat is not a legend nor is he a hero.
The true legends, the true heroes in this country are our lads who are members of the armed forces, who are risking their lives in Afghanistan. Closer to home, the guys that should be respected are the various emergency services. The Fire-fighters, Paramedics and Policemen who have to deal with the thugs, hooligans, drunks dangerous drivers across the country.
