Epitaph for a Brute.


Above: Raoul Moat in drag.
Wife beater, thug, murderer, rapist, drug dealer, cross-dresser and as we now, learn, police informant. R.I.P. Raoul Moat.
It was Moat's role as a 'Copper's Nark' which allowed him to cause so much unhappiness to so may others for so long. Time and again he was given a soft sentence for serious crimes. His ex-girlfriend, whom he shot, is still very ill in hospital. PC Rathband, an unarmed officer whom he shot in the face without warning or provocation, will probably be blind for life.
Yet since this monstrous brute shot himself while cornered by police, a kind of hero cult seems to have been built around him. Floral tributes have been left on the site of his death, and a Facebook memorial site has been set up. Even the pathetic Paul Gascoine staggered into the plot, bearing a portion of chicken pieces and a can of lager for 'my mate' as the police encircled the thug. Moat's family are furious (probably with an eye to future damages) and the left-wing press are calling for enquiries.
This huge, malformed creature with the mind of a spoiled toddler is now at rest. But it is unnerving to think that his fans remain on the loose.
