      ​​@@HotFuss-gd9qr he's the footballer who approach Raul Moat. Widely regarded as the most talented English footballer of all time but also as having the most wasted potential, he struggled with his mental health, weight and drug addictions whilst playing. He's also an absolute joker but in a hilarious way he acted more like a rockstar than a footballer off the pitch. That's probably the best I can describe Gazza cause the cunt has enough stories to write a trilogy.

      ​@@kellerblair2952 It was foolish to state her bf was a cop, but she did it out of fear and it backfired. Given the kind of person Moat is was, I don't think she did anything wrong other than choosing her words poorly.
      She clearly wasn't trying to antagonize him, but trying to keep him away. It's always easy in hindsight to say how he'd go on a rampage in response to this, but most people who act like him would just quietly seethe and move on rather than become the most wanted of an entire nation.

    I went through secondary school with his niece. She was like a complete flip of him. Well spoken, shy, pretty, hyper-intelligent and petite. It took me like a good 2 or 3 month to put 2 and 2 together and make the connection of the last name. Asked her how her last name was spelt and she told me the spelling M-O-A-T, so I goes "Oh like Raoul Moat then?" and she goes "Yeah, he was my Uncle ". I felt like a complete arse, tried to explain that I didn't know and we then had a conversation about how infact most of their family think he was an absolute headcase. And that, is a story I'll never forget.

      @@rorz999 That is actually wrong. There is actual data that proves you become what you are as an adult from your parents genes and the imprint they leave on you growing up in situations like these. This is exactly how they diagnose a psychopaths personality and the part that is being referred to in this instance is borderline personality disorder.
      So either childhood abuse/neglect from parents, an absent father (which he obviously had) which proves his father was lousy (so he inherited his genes). His mother seemed the same too, so he was clearly growing up in an unstable, dysfunctional family without a father figure to teach him life skills, and if you go through his from a young age it is almost a guarantee he would turn out like this in the end. Dank even references the fact he tried to seek out help, but got none, but i guess that went right over your head.
      So how you managed to come to the conclusion that this would all go away magically by age 37 is a mystery to me, as shit like this damages you for life and creates monsters like Moat. Either that or it creates broken people with all sorts of mental health issues that cannot ever live a normal life.
      And if you do not believe what i say then look up the Iceman interview on youtube where one of the worlds top criminal psychologists interviews him in prison and explains in great detail exactly why he grew up to become the cold blooded killer he was.

    20:44 Thanks man, appreciate how much you made it clear the Police wanted a peaceful conclusion to this. They really did go out of their way to try and avoid his death.
    As for them not packing serious heat... no, not true. They were carrying minimum 9mm pistols and most had 5.56 AR or HK platform rifles and .338 Lapua sniper rifles. They wanted to be sure if they had to put him down, it would be permanently.

    His ex girlfriend should have known that lying about her new boyfriend being a police officer would have set him off into a mad rage. She would have been fully aware about his deep hatred for the police.

      Not surprising considering she had no problem dating and having a child with someone like that.

    I'm from newcastle and remember this going down when i was about 11 or younger. All we knew was that it was a guy with a gun going about shooting people and become the bogeyman of the school playgrounds and neighborhood and we'd talk about how Raoul Moat was gonna get you and we'd fake cry out that he was behind you while the other kids were playing in the streets or wherever. He really was EVERYWHERE in the news during this. Especially Newcastle itself. I remember watching the situation with my parents live and both of them commenting how fucking stupid the taser plan was.

      They shot him with a Tazer knowing he'd blow his head off.
      If you kill coppers they are going to kill you.
      Unless you hand yourself in to unarmed coppers .
      A geezer in Manchester shot two policewoman about 15 plus years or so years ago.
      Can't remember off the top of my head tbh.
      He handed himself in because he knew the firearms team would top him.
      Top in the UK means kill or execute.
