You should be ashamed of yourself to mention things like 'karma' in conjuction with a tragedy like this.

Get off this site.

Don't give him what he wants, obvious troll is obvious.

Report the post and lets not feed the troll, fighting with this idiot would be an insult to a good man who gave his life in the service of the state.

RIP, another good man lost to senseless gun violence. The a$sholes responsible for this need to be locked up in solitary confinement for the rest of their lives

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing"

RIP to a good man who put himself in harms way to protect the more vunerable.

My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. R.I.P.

Died practically within sight of his house.

I don't think I've ever been so angry in my life.

Utter, utter scum.

And the best is yet to come.... just waiting on Shatter and his mealy mouth comments in the morning.

No doubt 'The Gardai have all the necessary resources' and 'no stone left unturned' will feature.

I know it's not the time or place but am just so so angry.

RIP.

I think it's important that we name these Gardai,if nothing else but to drive home the message that they are INDIVIDUALS,just like us all.

http://www.independent.ie/national-news/detective-shot-dead-by-callous-criminals-3367487.html

The gunmen immediately opened fire. One shot was fired and the detective was hit in the head.

Senior officers said last night that the gang had opened fire immediately and gave no warning. The garda did not have an opportunity to draw his weapon.

The account speaks for itself,it appears that maximum-force was always going to be used on anybody attempting to frustrate this gang,Garda or Civillian.

It's probably worth considering that some Legal Type,somewhere,is also reading the above account from a perspective of fashioning a defence...already picking out the pointers which would allow a walkout from court...single shot..."My client,Judge,was'nt aware the weapon was loaded"...."The weapon discharged accidently "..."troubled upbringing".. etc etc.

Can any Irish court accept that driving to any financial instution with a servicable firearm,loaded or not,constitutes definitive evidence of the intent to injure or kill ordinary people ?

It appears not.

Gardai Adrian Donoghue and Joe Ryan,whose job it was to protect us "ordinary people",were regarded as expendable by this gang.

Minister Shatter and Commissioner Callinan would have us believe that Ireland is so safe that Garda resources can,in some cases,be reduced to skeleton levels.

The Minister and his Commissioner will produce reams of Statistics which definitively prove that we (The ordinary citizens) are WRONG when we express our perceptions of an increasingly violent,out-of-control criminality taking over our country.

Added to this is the strident crowing at all levels about cutting the pay and allowances of Public Servants,as if any common ground existed between the likes of Politicians,Senior Civil Servants and Gardai,in terms of what the State expects them to do.

Garda Donoghue was doing his Duty,to the utmost,as he and the rest of the force are expected to do,up to and including placing their lives at risk to ensure OUR safety from savages such as drove into Dundalk last-night.

Find me a Politician or Senior Civil Servant with such an expectation built-in to their Job Description and I'll willingly support those shrill calls to cut Garda Pay and Conditions.

For now,this dreadful murder must run its course and the investigation hopefully will see justice being delivered.

None of this can mean much to grieving family and friends right now,but equally Garda management must learn from this also,with perhaps significant lessons to be learned in relation to deployment in these type of cash-escort duties.

RIP Adrian Donoghue.

RIP, Calling all members of the force, shake down every scumbag the length and breath of this country, may every scumbag be in fear of the fate that will befall them, take our country back from these low life scum. I am so sad at this news.

RIP D/Garda Donohoe. May I at this time express my sympathy and support to his wife and children who will be forever waiting for a husband and a daddy to come home.

And for the rest of us in the wider police family on this island; there's only one way to properly pay our final respect to the man and that's to nail the scum who killed him and their like by any lawful means possible.

This is an outrage. The country is losing the battle against criminality and the softy soft judicial system is a mockery and nothing but an affront to law abiding Irish citizens.

It's time for this country to crush these scumbags and treat them with same absolute contempt they have for us. We need zero tolerance.

They should open a prison camp in the curragh with the same conditions as those in Thailland or similar and fire these scumbags into it until they day they die. No early release or hotel like prison conditions.
