NEWSWATCH: UK gunman Raoul Moat declared war on the British police after having shot and killed a woman, and went on to blind a policeman when trying to kill him too. Moat killed himself after being surrounded by the police and has become something of a hero to a fan club whose members have been posting their tributes on Facebook - which has refused to remove the offending comments, reports IOL.

IOL : 'Callous murderer' a hero on Facebook... Even UK Prime Minister David Cameron has become involved after Facebook refused to remove messages of support for the gunman. Apparently a Facebook spokesman said: "Those who think he is a hero are entitled to their opinion." Makes you wonder exactly how "pro" those same people would have been had it been one of their loved ones being gunned down or blinded in cold blood, doesn't it? But what do you think - should there be limits to free speech in cases like this, or any subject, or on no subject?
