    but missing Daniel McAnaspie was found yesterday, stabbed at least six times. The poor bloke was only 17, it really makes you wonder what the arguement he was involved in before his disappearance was about for it to have such a devestating result :(

    Terribly sad that a 17 year old kid can die like this. Thankfully his body has been found and his family can have some closure , hopefully his remains will give up some evidence as to who carried out this atrocious act.

    RIP

    It is scary that the animals that did this are wandering around like nothing has happened. I hopr they are caught quickly before they do this again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 163 ✭✭kiwi123


    so sad, you never know what people are capable of

    The Scumbags in our society have no fear of punishment and whenever caught, get better treatment than their victim's and their families.

    It's almost like a reward for them.

    very very scary. and being from the blancardstown area myself, it terrifies me that i may know these people. I hope they are caught, even if it was my best friend, I'd hope he served his time and sufered!!!!

    The Gardai believe he was beaten up twice before he disappeared, I mean was that not enough for the thugs. Why did they have to go the whole way.

    17 jaysus....just a kid :(

    Does it need a thread?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 220 ✭✭Aids By Google


    Who ever did this dastardly deed should be hung.

    If they are later found innocent, then unhung.

    Can you explain why you wouldn't deem it worthy of discussion?

    twice? :eek:
    thats awful!!! I've heard rumours flying around that the guards wanted to talk to a guy I'm familiar with but that was ages ago, so I don't know if they have any idea who did it. But, someone has to know, aside from the killers themselves, how can they live with themselves knowing someone can be brought to justice for commiting a crime that really neednt have been commited

    I was going to open this as well.

    Very sad poor young man :(
    Condolences to his family and friends:(


    Where he was seen last and found would suggest he was traveling in a car with someone,I hope they get the scum and string them up :mad:


    R.I.P :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 331 ✭✭Cook!eMonster


    Hmm myabe he wasnt alive in the car? Like maybe he was killed then shoved in the car and then dumped. either way, not right and he didnt deserve it :(

    I'm not saying that knife crime isn't worthy of discussion but it seems to be an unwritten rule that every time someone in the country gets killed someone on boards feels the need to post it on After Hours so everyone can follow it up with variations of "ah, that's awful". It's like Liveline. And no, I don't think there is a need for a thread of this nature in a forum like this.

    No disrespect to the guy who died but surely there's a more appropriate place to discuss this and leave your condolences than After Hours?

    So where would you have put it?

    This would be one of the parts of boards that would be frequented on a higher level than others.
    So i disagree with you on your comment.
    And people should get behind and rally and show their condolences and disgust in respect for a young Irish lad :(.

    Did you make a comment such as this on toyosi ****ta-bey thread?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 828 ✭✭✭Travel is good


    Has he been definitely identified? That is so sad. I suppose the reason I'd been following this case is because he was so young, and like some other youngsters he just disappeared. I was hoping he'd be found alive and well. I think you're right, we should be able to offer our condolences on this forum

    The family have set up a paypal account for donations to help them with expenses just so you all know incase anybody wants to donate.

    Start a forum for this kind thread because it seems to be quite common on AH. Otherwise, don't post it at all.

    To post it in a forum that is known for it's light-hearted nature, the occasional smart-ass comment and edginess makes no sense. And the argument that "there's nowhere else to put it" makes even less sense.

    So? If the photography forum was the most popular forum on boards would you post it there?

    I never said they shouldn't.

    No, but I certainly saw the thread and thought exactly what I'm thinking now.

    Well then don't say it here send a message to admin and ask them to make a special part of boards for that,or not to be rude just don't add anything on the ones that do pop up ;)

    p.s Thought it but didnt say anything but have to when it is this young lad?

    After Hours is known for it's light-hearted nature but there are plenty serious threads on here. Once the first few joking comments are out of the way people do get into proper full on discussion on the matter.

    Would it be better suited in your opinion to the Meath forum/Dublin forum as that's where he was found/lived?

    Really that is so sad poor family :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,964 ✭✭✭ToniTuddle


    Was there a thread set up in After Hours/Boards about his disappearance?

    If so, then this thread is of course relevant!!

    I'm not being rude I'm merely stating my opinion.

    I can go and dig up that thread and repost my comment there too if you like?

    Not ideal, but it would be more suitable than AH.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,385 ✭✭✭✭D'Agger


    Spudmonkey, my advice would be if it annoys you so much contact a mod and discuss the relevance of this thread with him instead of annoyingly back seat modding - nobody but a mod can answer the Q's you're asking imo

    .


    No i was refering to myself not to be rude to you.

    Terrible news. RIP.

    The fact that the gardai reckoned he was beaten up twice before his disapperance means they must know something, however little it may be.

    Jail isn't good enough for these type of people who murder!
