The PC who Raoul Moat blinded has been found dead at his home. Guess he couldn't cope.

I hope all the scum who were calling Moat a legend are happy.

RIP PC Rathband

So sad. RIP

I don't know much about the story but who and why were people calling him a legend?

Just read the report and it's terribly sad. It goes to show how an incident like that can have such far reaching consequences long after the case has left the headlines. The guy got up and went to work as he would have done any other morning: by the end of the day he'd lost his sight, months later his wife, and eventually his will to live. I hope those who assisted Moat are feeling utterly wretched right now.

I very much doubt it.

Unfortunately the scum bags won't care a bit, i feel for those close to him, i've been that low and come through it by sheer luck.

RIP PC Rathband

Why? you'd need a deeper understanding of how some people's minds work than I've got, to answer that one.

Victimhood, chips on shoulders, hatred of the police and any authorities etc etc ...?

or simplistic terms, they are just nob heads.

An indictment of the lack of care in our society. People are cast as heroes by the establishment but then ignored when they are in their hour of need.

Although unless they ask for help how is anyone supposed to know ?

Part of the nature of depression is denial, its hard enough to get a victim to go to their own GP for advice let alone ring up their employer (or former employer?) and ask if there is any free counselling they can have.

Sad story indeed.

Would have thought it obvious that someone in his position would hit the buffers in the medium term.

Look at all the soldiers - injured in action, classed as heroes and left in poverty for the rest of their lives.
