If you took someone hostage, would you brag about it on Facebook? That's what Jason Valdez did while he was in a sixteen-hour standoff with SWAT teams near Salt Lake City, Utah. The man's been wanted by authorities since June 1 after he missed a preliminary hearing for a case where he was being charged with felony and misdemeanor drug possession charges. Somehow, the man's whereabouts were discovered by police; before they could serve him with their felony drug warrant, though, Valdez barricaded himself in a motel room with a hostage and started posting updates on Facebook. All in all, Valdez made six posts and "added at least a dozen new friends." Valdez's first update occurred at 11:23 PM: "I'm currently in a standoff ... kinda ugly, but ready for whatever. I love u guyz and if I don't make it out of here alive that I'm in a better place and u were all great friends." The updates went both ways, actually, like when a friend posted that a SWAT officer was hiding in the bushes outside the room. "Thank you homie," Valdez responded. "Good looking out." Since some of his friends were technically offering him tips via Facebook, authorities are now debating whether or not they should charge these people with Obstruction of Justice. Family and friends made over a hundred posts on Valdez's Facebook wall. Some of them offered him encouragement (or "liked" his updates and the photos he posted of himself and his hostage), while others begged him to "do the right thing." Finally, at 7:25 AM, Valdez made his final post (pictured here): "Well i was lettin this girl go but these dumb bastards made an attempt to come in after i told them not to, so i popped off a couple more shots and now were startin all over again it seems ..." When officers stormed the room, Valdez shot himself in the chest (no SWAT personnel fired a shot, reportedly) and is currently in critical condition. Meanwhile, [url=https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000295855161&sk=wall]his Facebook page is still up for public viewing[/url] and has been overrun with comments from family and friends who are defending him, as well as people who are ... Well, let's just say they're less-than supportive of the man and leave it at that. Honestly, this whole story is just too bizarre to be fake. It's also a bit stunning that so many people are defending him, especially since "court records show Valdez has a criminal history, including convictions for aggravated assault and domestic violence in front of a child."[/quote] [url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/111226-Man-Takes-Hostage-Comments-On-SWAT-Standoff-Via-Facebook]SOURCE[/url]
Charge those faggots with obstruction of justice. They could've gotten officers killed and they deserve to get their ass thrown in jail for fucking helping out a criminal. If he was just by himself I wouldn't be nearly as upset as I am now but he had a HUMAN FUCKING HOSTAGE WITH HIM. Idiots.

I don't mean charge the people telling him to do the right thing with obstruction of justice, I'm talking about the cock sucker who ratted out the officers's positions and things like that.
It was pretty funny reading that Facebook comment.
[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;30648770]You're an idiot. Look at the picture, they're telling him "Let her go man".[/QUOTE] read the fucking news article before posting
Shot himself in the chest? Wtf everyone knows you go for the head...
I can't believe some people were supporting him and even aiding him, I hope they are charged.
What an idiot. holy shit

:whoptc:
What a cool dude.
That picture is too small how the fuck am I expected to read this bullshit.
I would leave a comment and tell him that he's going to end up getting killed. Oh he already shot himself.
Here's the source that the source used. As in, here's the AP article that the op's Escapist article links to. [url]http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_FACEBOOK_STANDOFF?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2011-06-21-17-32-46[/url] One thing to note from it: [quote]Valdez said in posts that he was with a woman named Veronica. Police described her as a hostage. In his posts, Valdez told friends when police shut off the power that his "hostage" was fine - and with him willingly - and that police are jeopardizing her life by their actions. At 2:04 a.m., Valdez posted two pictures of himself and the woman. "Got a cute `Hostage' huh," Valdez wrote of the photographs.[/quote] On the other hand, that whole "I was gonna let her go" thing. On the other other hand, she doesn't seem too worried in the photo. Maybe that's someone else though, and the picture is from a while back. Or maybe she was there willingly at first, but then became a hostage as time went on. Or maybe he was just bullshitting with the "I was gonna let her go" thing, because the police already thought he was keeping her hostage, so he might as well roll with it in order to gain more of an advantage. I just don't know.
And then they made a Facebook group for "WE LOVE YOU MAN HOPE YOU GET OUT SAFELY". And 4chan got a hold of it and trolled the group massively.

Imagine if everyone started doing this Bro Quaeda: Aww yeah bitches, just got Ralph to go bomb a local coffee shop. Their prices are OUTRAGEOUS" Taliban: High five! Obama: Whats going on you two?
[QUOTE=J!NX;30649589]People are god damn stupid.[/QUOTE] Referring to the people making the group, or the trolls?

the fuck did race have to do with this? stop being racist
[QUOTE=JerryK;30650185]the fuck did race have to do with this? stop being racist[/QUOTE] I'm a melting pot of friendship.
I wonder what his friends would have thought if he killed the girl. Why are they defending him? He did something completely illegal, and they support him and [i]help him?[/i] Jesus christ.
Just when I thought this guy was the dumbest person ever. The hostage also made her facebook public, and put up a picture of a child support bill she got [b]with her bank account number and address on it.[/b] In the words of Hubert J. Farnsworth: "I don't want to live on this planet anymore"
