"a single tomato was stolen". that shouldn't be funny, and i know this is really serious n all, but, wow!
― The referee was perfect (Chris), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:05 (thirteen years ago) link
imagine being on the run for a week, coming out of hiding in a drain, breaking into a greenhouse, and only finding 1 fucking tomato?

Im amazed that they took a day to investigate the old lady who said he saw him burgling her kitchen. They obviously thought "oh shes 89, shes making it up" and hes been in a drain a 100 yards away for a good few days since.I wonder if they checked the drain before he hid in it, or if they didnt check it at all.

no sign of gazza in the early editions of the papershttp://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Newspaper-Front-Pages-For-Saturday-July-10-2010/Media-Gallery/201007215662465?lpos=UK_News_Left_Promo_Region_0&lid=GALLERY_15662465_Newspaper_Front_Pages_For_Saturday%2C_July_10%2C_2010

I managed to miss the tornado fighter plane fitted with an infra-red device that was apparently flying about up here...for some reason..or something.

something

happening
ohh a shots been fired
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:12 (thirteen years ago) link
eek!
― The referee was perfect (Chris), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:14 (thirteen years ago) link
fucking hell this is bizarre.
wonder if he's shot himself
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:15 (thirteen years ago) link
they seem to think its over anyway
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:16 (thirteen years ago) link
"probably the shot from the shot gun".
― The referee was perfect (Chris), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Well, surely if he'd fired a shot at someone else, one of the 8 zillion armed cops would have fired back. One shot = someone's shot him, or he's shot himself, surely.
Fucking hell, Kay Burley's annoying. BBC News haven't noticed this shot yet.
― ailsa, Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:18 (thirteen years ago) link
Pretty sure he will have shot himself, since as you say, if he aimed his gun at the police , there would have been multiple shots
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:21 (thirteen years ago) link
police jumped on him?
― Guru Meditation (Ste), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:21 (thirteen years ago) link
an eyewitness said they crowded around him and jumped on him
maybe the shot just fired as they jumped him and he's not dead?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:22 (thirteen years ago) link
why on earth would they jump him, if he had a gun. that doesn't make much good sense.
― Guru Meditation (Ste), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:23 (thirteen years ago) link
or they crowded round after he shot himself?fuck knows
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:23 (thirteen years ago) link
they could have jumped him if he had fallen asleep?
I'm sure we'll find out in due course. If he's been jumped on, he's presumably at least in custody, so game over anyway. I fucking hate myself for watching Sky News, btw.
― ailsa, Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:24 (thirteen years ago) link
I'd be surprised if they snuck up on him and killed him with a single shot unless he heard them went to fire and one shot him I suppose.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:25 (thirteen years ago) link
imagine it was just a police gun that fired up in the air by mistake
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:26 (thirteen years ago) link
I think an announcement is coming.
Susan Ballantyne now ace reporter for the Beeb, who seem to have caught up. She appears not to have any idea what's going on. Everything she's said so far has started "I don't really know", so basically knows as much as the budding CSI dudes all over the internetz.
― ailsa, Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:27 (thirteen years ago) link
he could have just fired a shot in the air with one of his guns for all we know when he saw them sneaking up.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:28 (thirteen years ago) link
lol bbc report two gun shots

whatever's happened the standoff must be over
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:32 (thirteen years ago) link
"for all we know"
ding ding ding. Ambulance on way, Beeb reporting two shots fired, appears to be over one way or the other. This speculation is doing my nut in, I'm off to my bed.
― ailsa, Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:32 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh, statement. He's suffered a gunshot wound. On way to hospital.
Oh, not on way to hospital. Being treated. That's the police statement, btw. has been apprehended. Good.
― ailsa, Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:33 (thirteen years ago) link
just been announced on sky as i read ailsa's post

nothing about self inflicted or if he was shot by police
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:36 (thirteen years ago) link
wtf at this statement?
― Guru Meditation (Ste), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:36 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah wtf
its just going to lead to internet rumours they botched it up
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:37 (thirteen years ago) link
hes not even confirming the stand off is over. ffs.
Oh, and yes, from earlier, BBC 24 about 8 zillion times better than anyone that think Kay Burley is a journalist worth giving airtime to.
Right, so, well done Northumberland Police for getting their man without any police being injured. Really am off to bed now.
xpost only if people are stupid enough to start them. Like presumably assuming it's an empty ambulance heading off with a police convoy or something.
― ailsa, Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Ooh, hang on, his mate was there too. Maybe it's HIM that's hurt, not Moat or the police.
Have at it, conspiracy chaps.
Oh no, they said it was the suspect that was hurt. I need some fucking sleep, this is breaking my brain.
― ailsa, Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:40 (thirteen years ago) link
empty ambulance, or gazzas taxi home?
― Guru Meditation (Ste), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:40 (thirteen years ago) link
Gazza was making balloon animals but one burst, hence the 'gun shot' rumours.
― James Mitchell, Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:41 (thirteen years ago) link
gazza and the other guy get into brawl over who is Moat's real best mate. gazza glassed. police jump in. meanwhile moat ducks back into drains amidst confusion.
― Guru Meditation (Ste), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:43 (thirteen years ago) link
the eyewitness guy heard a shot then saw everyone rush towards him.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 July 2010 00:45 (thirteen years ago) link
ooh, indiscernible shouting, that clears it up. This is the only reason I'm still awake (well that and a litre of coke), what's wrong with me?
