Michaela - The Aftermath (Please exercise discretion)

[gallsman]

Did you see the wife of one of the suspects on? She (as she would) claimed there's no way her husband could have done such a thing. His mother seemed more resigned.

I read that the 29 year old had a new wife as well. Unfortunately she too is a victim and, if he's found guilty, she must face the rest of her life knowing her husband was a murderer.

I have nothing to say on this thread except I think it should be deleted or at least moved off the site until Michaela is buried and her family have had a chance to grieve. The GAA is a close knit and relatively small community and I'd hate to think family members of Michaela would be looking in here to see some of the childish rubbish been written here.

I agree...it really shows the mentality of some people when they come onto a thread like this to wind people up/cheap point scoring...Please close it down mods

But you will inevitably move it to the tribute thread. Is it foolish and naïve to trust people on here to be respectful in their discussion of something that is dominating news and daily conversation.

I understand the reasons for discussing this stuff but... Wrong time lads and it won't bring her back

Right enough sammy, engage your brain before piping up.

To be fair the vast majority of posts on this thread are well intentioned and we are probably a bit over-sensitive to the odd ott comment.

I thought setting it up was actually a good idea to keep the inevitable (this is the internet) speculation off the tributes thread.

Oh ffs.

Has court opened for business on this one yet?

Just saying, quit with the Sun hyperbole.

Folks, I think this thread and conversation should be left for another day.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Folks, we have to be very mindful of what we're committing to print here.

There's no point in locking or deleting the thread (as the poll consensus would indicate), since a replacement will inevitably spring up, and we're right back into the very same dilemma: it's an inescapable topic of conversation and thought, and and such it will irresistibly find cyber-outlets.

I will lock or delete it, however, should contributions overstep the mark.

[Milltown Row2]

Not too many have over stepped the mark to be fair. No one has made any conversation/contributions that were making ill of the dead or family. 

The thread title is about the impending case, should you change the title?

[give her dixie]

Folks, I know this is and will continue to be a multiple page discussion, and I for one have no problem with that.
For now, can it be left alone until after Michaela's funeral on Monday?

Fear, I think in this instance the thread should be locked as per GHD's wishes. Thanks.
