Livefast123 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) The coward has killed himself in a churchyard according to Sky, RIP to another colleague paying the ultimate sacrifice to keep others safe and my sincerest condolences to the family. The legality of the weapon involved may not really matter at this point in time but will have serious ramifications in a few weeks / months. If it was a legally held LBR / Muzzleloader then I feel that this will be the flashpoint the Government wanted to remove them completely.

Fisherman Mike Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Dont think it was a shotgun. On the Daily Mail website, one of the witnesses said it was a revolver. Still im sure some hysterical dimwit will chime in soon saying it was a fully-automatic-silenced-assualt-sniper-rifle. Hope they catch the ******* soon.

HDAV Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-18779427 Mr Barker-McCardle said no shots had been fired by police sent to the scene. A handgun was found alongside Mr Reeve's body. The chief constable said Mr Reeve, who has family connections in Clacton and Chelmsford, did not hold a firearms licence.

andypaint Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Does it really matter whether a handgun was used, or a shotgun? Does it really matter if the gun was legal or not? There's a young man who could have kept his mouth shut and walked away whilst someone else was being attacked. He didn't, and he paid with his life. I doubt his family and friends give a flying **** as to what killed him and whether it was legal, do you? Some people need to get a grip. To be honest it does matter, even though my thoughts are with the family involved. Because off the actions of the scum bag, it could affect my life and hobbies and of others. I'm sorry but life goes on, and were left to deal with the consequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was decent of him... By the time they remove his body to the morgue, have an autopsy carried out, determine the time of death have the inquest and a funeral that will be another 2-3 million of our money wasted..Why not just bury him where he lay and give the money to his poor victims and their families.

How many times have you been told not to exagerate? Better than all the court cases then prison then probation and parole licence etc. Tin hat time: I'm nowhere near condoning his desperate actions but I wonder what happened to the probable scum that made the guy feel the ony way to get something done was to obtain and use a gun because of potential race card playing issues and action not being taken when it ought to have been. Time and time again we hear about some members of our multicultural society getting away with almost anything they want because of a certain 'sensitivity' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storme37 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) from the mirror Police are trying to find out how Reeve got hold of the handgun. They confirmed he had an out-ofdate shotgun licence but would never have been allowed to own a handgun, illegal outside gun clubs in Britain. Clacton Gun Club last night denied reports Reeve was a member but confirmed he used to wander about on land at the bottom of their range and he was friendly with members.

Muddy Funker Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 The Final Inspection Author: Author Unknown The policeman stood and faced his God, which must always come to pass. He hopes his shoes were shining just as brightly as his brass. "Step forward now, policeman. How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church have you been true?" The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No Lord I guess I ain't. Because those who carry badges can't always be a saint. I've had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was rough... And sometimes I've been violent because the streets are awful tough. But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep... Though I worked alot of overtime when the bills just got too steep. And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm there fear. If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, but if you don't... i understand." There was silence all around the throne where the saints had often trod, as the policeman waited quietly for he judgement of his God. "Step forward now, policeman. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets. You've done your time in hell." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
