The sad part is that's probably true, good thing i don't watch American news and ignore tabloids like the plague.DJmagma said:
sadly this guy will probably get a very productive career on fox news.
Gee, did this guy just sneak the story in or did someone think that this would actually be a good idea and approve the story? I think they need new people in charge.
Agreed.gilthanan said:
Not trying to detract from what happend at all... but hell, he was loose for what, a week? Give me a mental break down, a gun, and a week... There'd be nobody left alive in said town.
Anyone actually thinking a game is being made about this, really needs to get out more.
I hate this guy already. And for his Facebook profile about the things he likes, I cam corroborate that he's a total idiot.
Couldn't agree more. The worst thing is, all these 'journalists' are well educated. So therefore ignorance is no excuse, he's just a fucking asshole.Deathguy3 said:

"This isn't tasteless at all!" thought the Daily Star "reporter" as he tapped away at his keyboard gormlessly.
well it was a big thing here in the uk, although they tried to bring him in alive which i don't quite get. the whole thing just showed how crap our police force is at this kind of thing.gilthanan said:
OT shouldn't he be banned from writing or something? if he's spreading lies (lets go along with this) or 'news' without checking his sources
We just have to remember, The Daily Star is the newspaper which somewhere inside has a boob count and compares how many boobs they have compared to The Sun, and for some obscure reason, The Daily Telegraph, the latter of which I'm sure will have none every time they do this little count.
How I know this you ask? No I'm not a Daily Star reader, but I worked in a newsagents for a long time and it got very, very boring when packing up newspapers at the end of the day.

My family buys The Sun most days. I read it, pretty much for a few chief things. That is, the politics pages (which are biased, and I prefer to remain unbiased, but they still tell the truth about the political landscape and are better than stuff like the Guardian or Telegraph in their leanings...), Page Three, the comics and horoscope, TV guide, and some of the columnists (like Jeremy Clarkson).
Now, The Sun is still a real newspaper. Although there is some embellishment, what with it being a tabloid, their stories are generally true, if trashy, and despite it being a tabloid and very biased in some respects, I still trust it to some extent. Not as much as I trust the BBC (the only news source I do trust other than Reuters and my student newspaper, in fact) or the Daily Mail, but still slightly trustworthy.
The Daily Star is not a real newspaper at all. It makes up stories, like this, and has no journalist merit or integrity whatsoever. Half it's pages are softcore porn (granted, the Sun has Page Three, but the Daily Star takes it to a whole new level). So it's hardly surprising that the Daily Star has been caught in such a blatant lie with this. Sadly, there are some idiots who still buy that rag and still believe what it says is true (like in Terry Practchett's 'The Truth', where this was played for laughs with the fools who believed the blatant lies of the tabloid 'The Ankh Morpork Inquirer'...). It seems it really is true - a lie can make it halfway around the world before the truth has got it's boots on.
Raoul Moat was a dangerous, crazed man, who attempted to kill his ex-girlfriend, succesfully killed her new lover, and blinded a police officer when he shot the man in the face. He then killed himself with a sawn-off shotgun. He was a lunatic, and a dangeous criminal, and it's bad enough people honoured his memory in Facebook groups shouting slogans like 'Fuck the police!'. This whole shameful scenario is nothing but an insult to the memory of the man Moat killed, and to his other victims, and they deserve much better than this.
If I had my way, the Daily Star would have been put out of business years ago. I hope the guy who made up this story gets his personal details put up on /b/. That would be a sweet mercy compared to what he's potentially putting Moat's victims through.

Jerry Lawton: Uh... ya, I made it up as a joke! I must've fooled you! Haha, I'm so awesome! *cries himself into a corner*
I think obvious troll is obviously going to be trolled by trolls

Funny how some people who take some of their day to virtually kill Hitler with a chainun, zombies with a chainsaw, demons with a shotgun, terrorists with a knife without their terrorist buddies noticing, Alines with plasma weapons, robots with lightning, or giant beasts with blades on chains also go to the shooting range, hang out with friends in bars, have attractive girlfriends, have souls, have better lives than this pathetic complainer.
(*shakes head*)
Well, all I need to know about Lawton is this: He is SO gonna roast in Hell.
Wait a second....
Coincidence....OR PROVIDENCE?
