I have to agree with that - ultimately, it could put officers and other members of the public's lives at risk if he gets in the way - or police are busy trying to keep him out of harm's way! Stupidity!

You cant expect the police to kill him a second after they spotted him :|.
He's on the run.
He;s in a car.

Police cant magically turn up infront of him and shoot him.
Wheres your common sense.

[*mazedsalv**]

WTF crazed man!!! So he's dead then.... did he kill himself? or did someone shoot him from the public to stop him?

[Jayson]

I doubt it was a vigilante, Salv.

Either suicide or a car accident maybe?

[ILoveTRW]

I remember when something like this happened on the Real World Chicago
2 people died :(

[Jayson]

At least 5 dead, David Cameron talking about it in the house of commons.

[*mazedsalv**]

I doubt it was a vigilante, Salv.

I hope a fcking bear attacked him. Vile human.

At least 5 dead? :( and the picture of the body being covered is disturbing :(

Things like this always remind me of the Columbine Massacre.

5 Confirmed Dead
the PM just told us.

[Chels]

I imagine so. I presume the severity of what he did started to sink in.

Was he just psycho enough just to sit down this morning and go "I know, I fancy running riot and killing people today!" or was he known to do things like this in the past?

[bbfan1991]

Was he just psycho enough just to sit down this morning and go "I know, I fancy running riot and killing people today!" or was he known to do things like this in the past?

A couple of people who know him said on BBC News that he was a quiet and placid man so something must have pushed him over the edge:shocked:, councellor of the local area there said that there was some fued with another taxi driver?.

[pinkmichk]

my condolences go out to all the families and friends of those who lost their lives at the hands of this nut job he is dead but thats hardly justice for them people if he shot himself cowards way out imo

as for arista stupid ****ing twat i thought you couldnt get anymore stupid but the heat must be melting your motherboard

[*mazedsalv**]

Was he just psycho enough just to sit down this morning and go "I know, I fancy running riot and killing people today!" or was he known to do things like this in the past?

Well Im not sure. No normal human that has had a normal life could have done this, unless they were seriously under a bad dose of drugs.... drugs could be the reason, or he is either psycho and escaped from somewhere or he was on revenge of some sort.

No average person could have done that, he must have had some serious problems with his mental state of mind.

[ILoveTRW]

im guessing the first shooting was for a reason and the rest were just random people

[bbfan1991]

Coward:mad:.

[*mazedsalv**]

Thats the case In guess. The Columbine masscare was done by two friends who were very quiet and were bullied. Someone outgoing with loads of friends wouldnt do something like that. Someone that gets bullied, or quiet or has a hoprrible life just want to end it for themselves and others because they have mental problems... they have nothing to lose, they probably want to die. Thats why most kill themselves after. Its all really disturbing really :(

[arista]

He killed his Own mother.

Arguing with another taxi driver, or being pushed over the 'edge' is no reason to kill innocent people though.

Divorced for 20 years
and living with his ill mother.

ITVNews say possible Tax problems.

GMTV has found out he was angry at some other taxi
drivers that had lower fares than him.

He also tracked down his Family Solicitor
to Killl.

So the Will and what he viewed as a stitch up
is what made him snap.

[AJ.]

This proves Police need to do Better checks
on gun owners.

I think I saw on the news last night 1.5M people legally bear arms, you want everyone of those to be checked? & seeing as this guy was supossedly pretty normal what would a check of accomplished?

All guns should be banned in the UK. Armed police only.

RIP :(

He had 2 Weapons
so a Check would remove any Illegal Weapons.


The Police Claim they were legal, though.


As for Guns being Banned
it could not happen.

[Jords]

Such a shocking event, been following this on the news. I hope those injured pull through!

"The investigation is likely to focus on claims that the 52-year-old
grandfather had been embroiled in a furious feud over his
family's financial affairs.

There were also reports that Bird, who friends described as a quiet,
unassuming man, had had a petty row with rivals
over stealing fares the night before the massacre."

Making sure he found and Killed the Family Lawyer
was on Birdys Evil List.



Taxi Drivers Hate other Drivers jumping the Que
One of the Dead was a Bad Taxi Driver from Birdy's viewpoint.

It just goes to show what this inhumane modern working environment drives people to.

[ILoveTRW]

[Kerry]

yes and the London police force are fully aware of all the crims who have guns there....


:rolleyes:

[hotleggs]

He is dead , so he wont be getting any fame .

[arista]

Although police will not Confirm
The Press have found out this Evil Taxi Nutter
started killing at 5:30AM.

[arista]

Understood it could be money related. So many times the root of such evil :(


Yes Money and another Nasty Taxi Driver
who kept taking his fares away from him.

The early Shootings were the ones he Wanted Dead.


Towards the end it was who ever was in his way.

[arista]

He is dead , so he wont be getting any fame .


Dead Birdy is getting Fame Worldwide News, though.

As the UK does not have these Nutter Evil Killers every year.

[arista]

The First to be shot was his Brother
so it was about Money there.

And the taxi Driver he Killed was a Rotter
cheating Birdy's chance of getting a Fair.

Of Course thats no reason to go Crazy with two power guns.


Taxi Drivers
should never have Guns.


And for Over 3 Hours he was not stopped by the Small police force.

[Sunny_01]

I cant believe the complete disrespect shown on this thread by Arista, saying things like the poor dead people must 'pong' etc, being critical of the police force when they were trying to in the end secure more than 30 crime scenes and then wanting to see someone be shot on live tv! you are vile and thoughtless at times.

[Shasown]

Cumbria police announced "Bird found dead in the Woods"



I thought "so ****ing what"

I think it is now time to publish online, with google maps, who has a licensed gun in your local area.

At least then we can think "why the f has Joe Bloggs the postman got a shotgun?
