Norman Verona Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Usually the way. It'll all come out in court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Things almost never are in the "meeja", they tell the story they want to tell and cherry pick details to suit their case. Accidentally drove through the site of the shooting on Friday, (mainly 'cause they've all got the name of the place rang, much to the discuss of the people who actually live there). I hadn't realised exactly where it was, have driven through there hundreds of times. It's just a regular area, quite different to driving through other parts of Manchester, that really do feel like the wild west at times. (in fact, calling it Manchester is a bit of a stretch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I wouldn't have called Motram Manchester. However it is policed by Greater Manchester Police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 It's not actually Motram either! (Not according to some clients living up the road from there, Motram is nearer to Hollinworth (sp?) if I understood right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 On the day it happened the BBC gave out 3 different place names. It must be a bit confusing if no one can get the name right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Anyway, back to the topic. No point in calling for the death penalty to be reinstated as it isn't going to happen. Another point is why did he give himself up when he'd been "on the run" for months and remained free. Was it because he thought they would find him now he'd killed 2 police officers and they would gun him down before he could surrender?

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 That was my thought! I suspect there may be timing issues (!) with the shout of "halt, armed Police" (or whatever they actually shout these days) and the pulling of the trigger.

ajpearson Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 A friend of mine has done time both in the US and the UK. He readilly admits that UK prison life is easy, however he said he would never ever go back to prison in the states!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Did I? I was referring to the reason he gave himself up. I suppose you're talking of the TV inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
