This is hilarious to read through. Surely this lad should be the target of hate here and not the garda who put a stop to him. Country would be a better place if the garda talked a little less and shot a little more in these situations. Lads go raping and murdering, get locked up and a few years later they are back out and at it. Well this lad won't be and I for one am happy knowing my home town is 1 weirdo less. Thanks to all garda involved. And sorry to all the snowflakes who can't handle the hard truths of the real world.

If he was caught and charged with a murder, people would be moaning that the Gardai didn't just kill the POS and now he's gonna cost the taxpayer millions to play Xbox in a holiday camp until his release in a decade and a half. They literally can't win no matter what.

Exactly. If it turns out this Hennessy fella did abduct and cause serious harm to this woman, which sadly looks very likely, that Garda did a greater justice to her family and to society by killing the b@stard than waiting for the justice system to have their just desserts. Which would amount to about seven years behind bars before he's back stalking the streets under a different name.

So he was firing 9mm rounds into a car with the victim in it

Massive cover-up will be required if any mistakes were made here.

The gardai will have to get their story straight and issue a statement fast although they don't even seem to be able to get that right.

Watch them backtrack on the statement above.

We don't want the gardai going the way of the hospitals where the doctor's pass the buck for fear of litigation.

They have to be able to act and mistakes will be made

There is something about the way this case was reported initially that is bothering me. I heard about the missing woman on the radio news several times yesterday and heard this description repeatedly.

"5ft in height, of slight build with long black hair and brown eyes. When last seen she was wearing a dark coloured jacket, white t-shirt, grey leggings and runners."

As I was driving around south county Dublin and DL-R I listened and kept my eyes out, as while it was unlikely that I'd see her, you never know. But at no point was any mention made of her nationality/skin colour. Pretending to be racially colour blind seems like a particularly stupid move when asking people to be on the lookout for someone and giving an otherwise detailed description. I don't think it would have made a lot of difference in this particular case but it's something that needs to be rectified in future.

By the time a situation has reached the point where a Garda has a decision to make about taking a shot things have already degraded far beyond the point of a perfect outcome.

Internet experts have some luxury, arses on seats giving it the big one about what they'd have done in that instant and what they'd do next.

We all know what ye will do next. Ye'll have another cuppa tea and post another load of pure sh1te about people doing jobs you're not fit for.

99% of media said she was Philipino............I even reckon if you delve into that report you will get that reference.

Charge a gun, run from a knife

Old video but shows how someone with a knife can close 20 feet gap between you, before you can draw your gun and fire

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=js0haocH4-o

I was just about to post this, all those saying they should have shot and wounded him should stop embarrassing yourselves and watch this video. It shows just how quickly an armed attacker with a knife can close ground and fatally wound someone.

If any of you had ever even shot a rifle or pistol, you'd have an idea of how hard hitting a target is when you have time and can focus. When Gardai discharge their firearms they do so in the knowledge that the target may be killed, it is a mechanism of last resort, theres no such thing as shooting to wound.

If you want to see what happens in the real world, there are plenty of dash cam videos on youtube from the US showing people being shot in the chest 2 or 3 times and still being able to return fire, or advance towards the police with knives.

Ah, it's always good to get a bit of point scoring in disguised as compassion when something like this happens.

I think we need to have a meaningful conversation about how women use twitter...

Found the report I heard. No mention at all of her nationality.

since they had the reg of the car since yesterday and had been to see the wife they hardly were able to search the house yesterday ...which might explain that they knew what they were dealing with

A fresh appeal from gardan the search for Jastine Valdez - they're looking to speak to anyone who noticed suspicious activity around Puckscastle Lane and Kilternan lead mines

It's a modern sickness in the head that tries to lump in ''our boys'' with the activities of rare evil psychopaths. Worrying.

Really? I've only seen one media reference to her being Phillipino. None of the early RTE reports stated this. I've seen this before in missing person cases involving African/Asian people and they never mention race/nationality. "Black hair, dark eyes" etc.

It's a separate thread maybe, but I wonder is there some kind of logic behind it?
If they asked people to look out for a small Filipino woman with brown eyes and long black hair, they'd be inundated.
I wonder is there any science/data that suggests that not mentioning race is more effective?

(Again, may be a discussion for another thread)

Be great if we (the consumers of meedja) could convince them (the meedja) perhaps they should put more importance on being right rather than being first
