I mostly missed the whole Raoul Moat story due to being in France, when we got back to the UK I heard that a killer had killed himself and really didn't give it much thought (Perhaps another indictment on the state of our country that murder is not as shocking as it should be.) I couldn't understand why anyone would set up a facebook page in support of him. To try and understand it I looked up the reports on the story and discovered that in fact he was just a killer and had nothing at all to commend him as a human being let alone a legend.
Thankfully everything became clearer after reading the report of the interview between Talksports Ian Collins and the groups founder Siobhan O'Dowd. A woman who is so callous of the wasted lives of innocents as to describe a murder and attempted murder as "A bit Harsh" and who is so immensely thick that she actually believes that the news is like a soap opera completely without consequences and there for her twisted amusement.
I think this person is much more indicative of the state of this country as we have over the years carefully moved responsibility for actions away from the individual and made less and less demands on people and in so doing created a generation of people who hold no personal commitment to our society and worse yet have at best a perverted empathy and belief structure. People such as George Galloway are already bleating about how we need to pay more attention to the downtrodden working class white population, My opinion on this however is that in fact what needs to happen is that the majority of the population need to stop making excuses and start to force people like O'Dowd to understand that the world does not owe them anything, and that simply being born is not an entitlement to meander through life always taking and contributing nothing back.
until we start to do that I am afraid we have not heard the end of cases like Moat's and from feckless individuals like O'Dowd.
