Facebook defends Raoul Moat fan page
We read:
"Social networking site Facebook has refused to take down a memorial page for British killer Raoul Moat. More than 35,000 people have joined a group called "RIP Raoul Moat You Legend", leaving sympathy messages for the killer. Many of the messages are anti-police.
Prime Minister David Cameron earlier expressed his bewilderment that Moat, 37, should attract any sympathy. He described him as a "callous murderer".
Suggesting that any sympathy should be reserved for the victims, the Prime Minister told MPs: "It is absolutely clear that Raoul Moat was a callous murderer, full stop, end of story. I cannot understand any wave, however small, of public sympathy for this man. There should be sympathy for his victims and the havoc he wreaked in that community. There should be no sympathy for him."
Moat shot and seriously wounded his ex-partner and killed her boyfriend. He then shot a traffic police officer, a 42-year-old father of two, in the face, blinding him.
Facebook management rebuffed Downing Street, however, suggesting users who had posted supportive messages of the murderer were entitled to their views.

The author of the site has now taken it down but Facebook are to be commended for sticking to their guns.
Anybody who regularly reads POLITICAL CORRECTNESS WATCH or Strange Justice will know what lazy SOBs the present-day British police often are so an opportunity to vent about them would be understandably popular

Hard to understand why anyone would have sympathy for such a murderer, unless it was only the police-haters, although the guy also murdered and injured innocent members of the public as well.
Is this really about venting against the police? Or, is it about societys cretins and how business's like facebook take advantage of them for profit. Most of the people on facebook simply prove the gene pool needs a much stronger filter.
The woman who set up this facebook page is a single parent who has convictions for minor offences herself , a boyfreind who has done time for burglery - in other words the dregs of society .
In case people outside of the UK are unaware , moat was a piece of lowlife who on release from prison wounded shot his ex-girlfriend, murdered her new boyfriend and blinded a Policeman by shooting him in the face - Jon Ray you should be ashamed of yourself defending this facebook page
