Pc DAVID RATHBAND who was shot by Raoul Moat gets new eyes?
Because he said he didnt want to frighten people. He also says he will return to work next year, how will that be possible? Even if he does some kind of police phone work he will need to use a computer surely?
Prosthetic eyes obviously.
Answer: Well in this modern world computers can be adapted so that blind people can use one . As can many other things . I think this guy is an inspiration to many others . He could have sat back and get down and depressed , but he has decided with his families support he can still have a good life , all be it a different one to what he might have planned before Moat shot him .

With regard to the late DAVID RATHBAND, what reasons might there be for him not having a guide dog?
The news reports show him with a white stick instead, so Im assuming he didnt have one. Many people have been sad to hear of his death but it seems that he would have benefited from the companionship of a guide dog.
Answer: The majority of blind people don't have a guide dog. It actually takes a lot of intensive training to be allowed to have one, and not everyone does want one. I imagine even if he had thought of having one he wouldn't have been ready yet to go through the process of being allocated one. He would have still being getting used to looking after himself and facing the challenges that his still relatively new blindness was bringing him, as well as all the problems in his personal life, and the pschologocal trauma of what happened to him, nevermind throwing a dog into it all.

Was Raoul Moat "let down" by the system?

Moat, who died on Saturday, shot Samantha Stobbart, 22, killed Chris Brown and wounded Pc David rathband.
Newcastle Council confirmed it had had "extensive contact" with Moat regarding two of his children. A psychological report did not recommend treatment.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-10641225
or put another way. Where his victims let down by the system?
Answer: What a rather silly question. There are millions of people within our shores who need attention 'in CASE they need help' I am anti Tory but I do agree with Cameron, this evil man is a cold blooded common murderer. Is crap stirring a British disease ? The police should have riddled the beast to protect themselves and the public. What about the 6 other locals who helped and harboured him, even after his killing spree, Jail 'em.

why didnt anyone stop DAVID RATHBAND from killing himself?
was he not giving plenty of warnings? surely someone knew about his plans? why didnt stop him?
how he died too and what time?
Answer: Obviously before he died and in an interview , he said that he couldn't even tell his own wife his inner-most thoughts and feelings because he didn't want to burden her with them. He was like every person on this planet , there is the public side and then there is the very private side of our own deepest thoughts. The news did not report that the man killed himself and all that will be taken care off in a post mortem and a Police report , otherwise it is just pure speculation.

How did PC DAVID RATHBAND survive a shot in the head?

Thanks to anyone who can clear up this mystery xxx
I was trying to put it in the medicine section but yahoo got it wrong.
Answer: I know personally THREE people who have been shot in the head -- and lived!
Your skull is VERY thick, especially in the front. A low-powered, small caliber bullet (like a .22 pistol) will often bounce off (hell of a headache, though). If the bullet strikes at an angle, it is not uncommon for the bullet to go UNDER the skin, and follow around the OUTSIDE of the skull, between the skin and the skull, and finally exit someplace else.
Did you know that most victims of "scalpings" in the Old West actually survived? Beside hair, there is very little of importance there. a LOT of blood vessels, but nothing fatal if the skull is not broken. Most of the people who died this way actually died from having the skull broken with a club or tomahawk, and did NOT die from the scalping.

How come the PC blinded by Raoul Moat is only getting low rate mobility?
I know a guy who gets high rate, he can drive, he can get himself out in all weathers, he can carry his shopping, etc. I guess theres a slight risk he could drop dead whilst doing it, but I would have thought that this PC will need a lot of help to get around. £18.95 a week isnt really going to do much.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-11326047
The police officer blinded by Raoul Moat has described the level of mobility payment he has been awarded as "unfair".
Pc David rathband was shot in the face and chest by the gunman on 4 July.
He revealed on Twitter that it was "somehow not fair" that he had been awarded the lowest band, £18.95 a week.
The Northumbria Police officer is understood to be getting a higher band for the care component of his Disability Living Allowance.
So how does he pay for a guide. £18.95 might pay for a couple of hours a week.
Answer: They have just had a debate about this on Radio 5 Live. It turns out because he has no difficulty walking and can get a guide to help him around he only qualifys for the lower rate.
I personally think this is disgusting!

How did PC DAVID RATHBAND survive Raoul Moats shot in the head?

But I cant understand scientifically how it was possible for him to have survived a shot between the eyes at point black range. Surely part of his brain would have been shot out at that close range. Thanks to anyone who can clear up this mystery xxx
Answer: It really is amazing - I understand he is now blind, but he was in an interview and seemed quite coherent considering his injury and I hope he has no paralysis of any kind - I understand it was a shotgun but obviously the pellets were small calibre and and the positioning of the gun so probably his skull must have saved him.
He also by all accounts had to sit extremely still so as Moat didnt think he was still alive and try and shoot him again to finish him off. Can you imagine having to do that for survival and the pain and shock must have been some sort of living nightmare and then after Moat had gone he had to radio in for his own help, gee!
I wish that man and his family all the best for their future.

Why did the q disappear?
Answer: I'm just wondering if the Mail and the Express will tease the dress sense of the top cop up in Northumberland (Sue Sims - if I remember), as I recall - amogst the seriousness of Moat hiding in bushes with his shooter and an entire villiage crapping themselves, all the said papers were interested in was Sims' aesthetics, and acting like London schoolkids with not a great deal between their ears.
