Jastine Valdez found dead. No Ana discussion please. Mod warning post 1

Big Nasty

A woman is feared to have been abducted yesterday in broad daylight, just outside Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow. The same village where Annie McCarrick was last spotted. Frightening.

Gardai are appealing for information.

Mod warning

This is a final warning.

Speculation of any kind is not allowed here. You can discuss articles, news reports or any factual aspect of the case. You can sympathise, you can ask why. Making up what ifs is not allowed

I did not think I would ever have to say this but ANYONE who disrespects Jastine Valdez in this thread is getting an immediate ban from this forum. Some of the crap I have had to read this morning has angered me more than anything I have read on this site before.

This poor girl has a family and friends. She was 24 years old and is being mourned. If people do not have respect then they are not welcome here.

For the majority who have posted in a respectful manner we thank you. Please report any posts that require moderator attention.

Ah go and sh*te would ya. People are forever calling the Gardai useless and saying they do nothing right. Seems they've got it spot on here. Couldn't give a monkeys if he's unarmed, you abduct someone, that's the chance you take.

so do you think the cops should shoot all suspected abductors?

Please god they have found her! Surely they wouldnt shoot the main suspect if they still didnt know where she is?

Well if he was pointing a gun at them or running at them with a knife for example of course the Gardai are going to shoot him

Qrt

I doubt they'd shoot if he was armed with a knife and alone. Hopefully she is found safe.

Cop on would you. Pure attention seeker is all you are. It's hardly a 'suspected' abductor now is it?

I’m worried that they’re not saying she’s been found and is OK

You’d wonder also could this guy be connected to the discovery in Lucan the other day

From the Irish Times "Gardai believe the man was armed. Ms Valdez was in his car when he produced what gardai believed was a gun after he was approached by a detective."

When the woman he kidnapped is critically injured on the scene, then YES.

Jasus. Hope she wasn't caught in the crossfire.

Found armed and holding a victim?

Yes, I'd praise that policy alright.

Stop replying to this gombeen. (Where my jumper)
Clearly looking to act controversial and be the central protagonist on a thread with high traffic. This is a very sensitive situation and thread so just f*ck off with your attention seeking sh*te.

Whats "suspected" about this guy ?

Suckit

Hopefully they will be able to save her...

Hope that scumbag lives long enough to see the hurt he has caused everyone before he dies.

Although I am not entirely sure that would matter to someone like that.

apparently that was 13y/old kids according to our 'er well informed posters.

Excellent work by the Gardai. I hope she pulls through now.

This could all have been handled badly, she was alive and well until they cornered him into a reaction. Then they shoot him for harming her. It's a big mess if that's the case.

Completely depends on the first Guards on scene. If it was local detective unit no taser and possibly no ASP/spray immediately on hand. Firearm the only immediate option.

If ARU got to him first the chances are he was acting in a way which presented an immediate threat which only a firearm could tackle.

You'd think this is very unlikely. While Garda management is a complete basket case, the individuals on the ground have a record of being very professional of late.

Well if that's what they believe they saw, it's unlucky Mr Abductor no matter what the case is. They're covered in bubblewrap as far as procedure goes.

Hindsight is a great thing.

Niall o Connor from the mirror is on site and said he’s been told the girl is not with him

I was thinking the same, but the flip side is, would they wait until he did harm her?
