16 year old GIRL shot dead in Tallaght

I don't see anything up about this yet

http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/teenage-girl-shot-dead-in-dublin-538989.html

I must say I had to do a double take when I saw it was a girl.. I think I've been hardened to hearing about shootings in Dublin these days but it's very unusual to hear of girls being the victims..

A teenage girl has been shot dead in Dublin.

The incident happened at about 10.35pm in the Jobstown area last night. The scene has been sealed off.

The 16-year-old girl was in a car at Brookview Way in Jobstown when she was wounded by shots fired from another car.

She was rushed to Tallaght hospital for treatment. However she lost her fight for life at 1.15am this morning.

The scene of the shooting has been sealed off for a technical examination, while a post mortem is expected to be carried out on the girl's remains later.

RIP to the poor girl

What a poor girl and her poor* poor family.

RIP






*Not as in socially disadvantaged.

I heard on the radio this morning.

Scumbags need to be caught and bet within an inch of their lives before being locked up!

I'm not going to jump on the Liberalist band wagon and go "RIP girl that we didn't know"

Quite likely she / they were due what they got. You don't get shot in Dublin for no good reason.

You are probably right and most people are thinking it but there is no need to say it

Regardless.. She was a Child... You didn't get up to no good as a teenager? Cop yourself on.

quite possibly the most idiotic comment i have seen on boards ever.

Have immediate family who live up there and everyone is in shock. The girl was a member of the travelling community who live locally, there is a couple of families feuding up there. No doubt this is related to this feud.

All the same nobody deserves to die like that. RIP to the young girl.

Very sad loss of life, but when I heard it was 'travellers' I just rolled my eyes.

This is a disgraceful post. You don't even know the girl and you are judging her solely because she was shot in a rough part of Dublin.

No comment.

(because I know nothing about the case)

However, any 16 year old dying is a tragedy and a sad loss.

Wait...I did comment after all.

If commiserating the death of a child is a liberalist bandwagon then paint me pink. A case of wrong place, wrong time most likely

What the hell could a sixteen year old girl have done to warrant being shot dead?

This must just be an exception then:

I'd be willing to bet whoever she was in the car with was the target. Not her.

Irregardless of background is it too much to expect a smidgen of compassion for another human being?

RIP.

That was my first thought too.. and I've just heard on the radio that she was shot from a passing car.. so I'd say it was quite likely that she was not the intended target..

WTF is wrong with you? Her family are grieving, the girl is dead and you post idiotic prejudice $hit like that with absoulutely none of the facts to hand.

OK, in general, what does a 16 year old girl do to deserve being shot? Whatever is behind it, it's a tragedy.

I never said she deserved it.

No one deserves to have their life taken from that. but that != shot for no reason.

Yes, Well I'm not suggesting it's a valid reason.

but obviously the plumber seen the shooter and could now identify him.

You're not going to leave a living witness.

so he was "innocent" but he was shot for a reason.

So based on the few paragraphs in the OP you came to the conclusion that the 16 year old girl that was shot dead had it coming? And you think there's a good reason for every shooting that occurs in Dublin?

You sound like a proper scumbag.

so based on the few paragraphs in the OP you come to the conclusion that it was wrong place wrong time ?

Nobody knows the facts here.

I like the way you put innocent in quotation marks there, one could be forgiven for thinking you didn't think he was innocent. Surely not?

It's not pedantic at all.

The assumption made was that she had it coming. That assumption is in bad taste and quite possibly wrong.

A previous poster said she was a traveller. If that is true she could easily have been shot for refusing to marry someone or dating the wrong guy. This is how most feuds start. Whatever we may think about travellers, I think it is very sad that their children are put under this kind of pressure to marry and in some cases have no choice. I'm sure the facts will come out soon but I'd put money on it being an internal feud based on something small that we take for granted. I very much doubt she deserved it at all. May she rest in peace.

ringadingding

It's possible she was the intended target, as a message to someone they couldn't get.

The scary part is what happens now......

The boys do revenge pretty well ...

based on the vast majority of shootings are for a reason.

It's not the most absurd thing to assume.

I thought you said they "likely" were due what they got.

How is that different than deserves

When was the last time all of you were shot at ??? If someone puts themselves in a environment and circle that would inevitably mean they would come into the firing line at some stage then I have absolutely no sympathy for them. Obviously there are exceptions like the unfortunate plumber that was dragged into this thread. I stand by my original post.

So you're saying that in the majority of cases where a person is shot it was probably their own fault.

Go back to bed like a good little lad.

Teen girl is shot dead in this country and people are arguing over whether she deserved it or not.

I completely agree. She must have been icing gang lords on an hourly basis and bringing several tonnes of cocaine into Dublin a fortnight to ever end up in the crosshairs of drugged up psychopath.

ilovelamp2000

Well Mods should start banning people for excessive stupidity then. It will lessen the need for abuse.

The 16-year-old girl sustained serious injuries when a shot was fired from a passing vehicle into the parked car in which she was a passenger at Brookview Way at about 10.35pm.

Here's the important bit, I'd love to be able to post it in crayon for KTRIC.

You do a driveby on a car because you know the person that owns it will be driving it. Not because there might be someone you want to kill in the passenger seat.
