A hostage stand-off finally gets its own Facebook status

When youre holding someone aver in a event with police, you might have a lot of your mind. So why not spin to amicable media? Thats what Utahan Jason Valdez did. You have to see this to believe it.

Valdez barricaded himself as well as a aver in an Ogden, Utah motel to avoid being arrested upon a aver for felony drug charges.

In further to a above status, Valdez posted a picture of aver with a caption, Got a lovable Hostage huh.

Some of Valdezs friends followed along, even telling Valdez where SWAT units were mobilizing.

The incident ended when Valdez shot himself as SWAT units changed in to a motel room. Valdez is now in vicious condition.

You can see more upon a full blow-by-blow at a Associated Press.

Im just blissful which amicable media has come so far which you can not only encourage a idiotic hold up decisions of loved ones around a Like button, but you can also then mock them after a fact because it lives upon in perpetuity. It brings a rip to your eye, doesnt it?

One of a SWAT guys should have been ironic as well as finished a ol antic of declaring Valdez was happy upon his Facebook after they apprehended him. Double whammy!
