    If/When they do find him, he's not going to go quietly - his mom was hardly clever was she, telling him there's no point living any more? Idiot

    Anyone who thinks that is Overkill has not seen me come back from a 5 to 1 round in Counterstrike.

    They don't happen often, but when you can pull it off, it's magical.

    Her name is Sue Sims. I was expecting to see a woman of Asian origin given the name.
    Instead I saw what appears to be a human ferret with a hairstyle fresh from the 80's.

    They should bring in the US Military to find him. It'll only take them 2-3 years, and a few thousand dead civilians.

    They should go really nuts, rolling around in Tanks adorned with miniguns and flapping strands of ammunition, bowie knives between the teeth, grenades strapped to belts and harrier jets hovering overhead.

    True, i somehow doubt holding a fully automatic machine gun to what looks like a pensioners head is necessary!?

    That's a bit odd alright. MAybe they asked him to pose like that or something!
    Further more in the other picture there are at least 2 guys with huge sniper rifles which is of no use close quarters...

    Well that's why all the other guys have guns that are of use close up. IF they got a radio message the guy was half a kilometre away those rifles would be pretty handy.
    Im from the north and i can remember when there was a real terrorist threat, it was no were near as bad as that.

    I'd say if they were on a capture mission like this they'd have just as much weaponry. And I can't imagine army patrols in south Armagh weren't as armed as above. Sure I was walking past the barracks in coleraine a few weeks ago when a soldier came to the gates to get a delivery and he had a gun bigger than the machine guns in that photo

    Hey,

    Im sure all of you's have been reading the story about this massive police manhunt for Raoul Moat.

    Having read some of the latest developments and checking out the images i couldnt believe hardware on display of the UK police force (check out attachements)

    Is it just me or is this overkill?!


    Images are Sourced from BBC Newswebsite

    Not overkill imo.

    If they didnt have the full force out people would complain, but when they do have the force out, people still complain.

    A piece on the radio this morning had an interview with a forensic psychologist.

    http://media.newstalk.ie/listenback/49/thursday/2/

    Basically said that he thinks Raoul Moat is going to die one way or the other, either by suicide or cop suicide.

    Harldy overkill when it's a mad murdering gunman on the loose who wants to go out in a blaze of glory.

    I say they should send in Vic Mackey.

    He'd have the guy caught in under one day with enough time left to rob the Armenian mob.

    Well we don't know if the Brits have special forces deployed, or if they can even use the military as an aid to the civil power's.

    But in this country the Defence Forces would have been deployed in the search efforts much earlier in the search.

    This is the kind of thing soldier's excel in.

    It's all over the news over here, and i have to say I did think it was all a bit overkill, but can now understand the psychological tactic behind it. Apparently he has waged war on the wider public now, so they are stepping their search..still finding it hard to believe they haven't found him yet tho, they've found two places he slept rough so far..

    ..but didn't the police release a statement the day before , where the individual stated, paraphrasing here " the general public were not at risk":confused:

    Indeed. Without the help of the Irish Defence Forces, Don Tidey may never have been found. Pte Patrick Kelly died when the team of Gardai and soldiers successfully found him that day in the woods of Derrada but unfortunately it disturbed his terrorist captors too.

    RIP Private Kelly
