Some people may say that she should have stopped after the warnings, to anyone that thinks that I can see why but to my line of thinking I believe the appropriate thought is why didn't the police and politicians listen to her and take action against these people before she was murdered.

[@doncaramelo2147]

Gardai did listen to her not all but alot of them did but if ya read more about it there wasn't much in terms of legal stuff they can do to help her

[@bryanelam7431]

@@doncaramelo2147 seems like that's always the case, the people who try to do the right thing have to play by the rules and the other side only has one rule which kill the problem. I'm sure that some of them did all they could, it's just a terrible situation!!!

Great channel brother. Keep up the good work!

[@billkeaveney1526]

She was a wonderful woman so brave. She knew she was in danger but she kept going uncovering the truth. May she continue to rest in peace 🙏

The ironic part. The organized marches at the end of the video were organized by rival drug dealers to take out their competition.

"Brave and all that...."?!? Belittling sarcasm from a small weak man like you doesn't diminish her greatness, Damien. Also, courage is not the same as "stupidity". Get some education before you prattle on next time....
