Dale Cregan is a Legend

[alan45]

What on earth is wrong with society when people in the UK can label criminals legends and heroes.

Some sad and twisted individuals have set up a Facebook page labelling the alleged murderer of the two Police Officers in Manchester as a hero and a legend and think he deserves the OBE. Two innocent police officers going about their lawful duty brutally killed allegedly by a person whom the police suspect of at least two other murders. How can anyone describe this vile apology for a human being as a legend or hero.

The real heroes in this affair are the two unarmed police officers who were killed in the execution of their duty by this scumbag.

That is just sad but however there is people like that out there.. Look at the Kray brothers, evil evil people but they are deemed legends by a lot of people. I personally don´t understand the mentality of some people that believe this is ok cause it involved police officers.. sick!

Yes, it's a very sad reflection of some people in our society that they can turn thieves and murderers into legends. Perhaps if they were on the receiving end of some of these people they might think differently.

It makes me wonder what they are teaching children in schools today

How delightful to read about the death of yet another legend. Charlie Richardson the convicted torturer passed away yesterday after collapsing with peritonitis. No doubt his family will grieve his passing but i wonder how many of his victims and their families will.

How can you possibly say that it is delightful to read about the death of anyone,it shouldn't matter what a person has done or not it is not delightful to read about them dying.

Alan is right.I'm sure the friends and families of the people that Charlie Richardson and the Krays tortured were absolutely delighted by their deaths and wished it could have happened earlier. Perhaps you're glad that Hitler survived the assassination attempt on him so he could go on to murder over 6,000,000 people in his concentration camps.

Of course there at many deaths I would be delighted to see and read about. Ian Huntley springs to mind. The brave criminals who murdered friends and colleagues of mine, the paedophile who abused my niece. What's more I would dance on their graves. Sorry but I do not believe in turning the other cheek.

Tried to let this thread go by without comment ,but as a retired police officer had to speak . Raoul Moat was alledgedly aided by 6 or 7 ordinary local residents when he went into hiding , the place where he met his end had to be controlled due to the volume of flowers being laid, some of the messages written with the flowers beggar belief. I should say I was in another constabulary,and was told this by an old police friend of mine. Heaven knows why these people get worshiped, even more worrying by ordinary people. Many police officers loose count of the number of 10 to 14 year olds they pick up wandering the streets at 1or2am . You take them home and get a mouthful of abuse off the parents, and equally from what I would call middle class folk .As for this latest slaughter I am lost for words for two so young. I have just seen on the news that one author of a facebook page has been arrested.
