    David Rathband, the policeman shot and blinded by Raoul Moat, has been found dead at home.

    Police said no-one else was being sought in connection with the death or, in layman's terms, he topped himself.

    On the Trotskyites thread ( 08.46 ) - although I couldn't be bothered to do a link of the news story.

    This poor ****s life was ****ed and the outcome was forgivable unlike some rich famous selfish **** of a footballer.

    Wonder if they'll be a minutes silence at St James Park for a real tragedy?

    He tweeted "‘RIP PC Rathband", then he topped himself a bit later.
    A blind man using Twitter? Hmm...

    I'll be sure to check in with you in future just in case you've sneaked in any other off topic posts.

    Poor ****.

    Lost his sight, his job, his wife and his marriage.

    Obviously being blind and unemployed outweighed the positives.

    Whilst you're being insensitive - you should have said that he was always going to lose his job- because the police don't make white coloured truncheons !

    Thank you for the compliment, but....
    I don't think that your original suggestion that losing his wife & marriage was in any way ' positive ' enough to outweigh the loss of his sight and job ! If you're going to be properly insensitive then my reply would have added more insult to injury ( pun intended )
