The Raoul Moat Tapes - Ch4 NOW!
Discussion
So, a paranoid knuckle-head borne of a broken family in a bad area, with more complexes than hot dinners. I'm sure every town has many of them, and this one, sadly, took bonkers to new levels.
I heard an extended interview with his estranged brother a couple of days after his death, and he struck me as a little odd, too. In fairness he'd just witnessed the very public death of his brother, but he seems a little odd in this documentary, too.
I'm glad I didn't come across him, and glad my days of meeting boucer types like him are behind me, too. Although I suppose I'm only one traffic altercation away from his likes...

To be fair though, the first tapes they played (before the first advert break) just sounded like a typical pissed off Geordie having a rant. I was listening to the two doctors physcho-babble thinking 'well, it's obvious neither of you have spent any time in Newcastle'.
It took on a more disturbing edge after that though.

Gazza could have fixed it.
you were probably being sarcastic with that post however i reckon he could have! they should at least let him have a crack. i know it would have been hugely dangerous for gazza, but if he wanted to try that badly and it resulted in the situation being diffused it may have been worth the risk.on reflection though what police officer in his right mind is going to let Paul Gascoigne carrying Lager, fishing rods and chicken, near a murderous gunman.
crazy situation that was.

Was funny peculiar when he said English is not my first language, I was thinking because he was from Newcastle, but it was because he has made up a back story that he was really French and lived there for two years...he certainly was wacky races.
