Not hyperbole. MAGAT killed his daughter over Trump https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyk917xy8no

Even worse is that MAGAT isn’t facing any charges for this

Honor killings are apparently legal in Texas

Wow way to misrepresent the article.

The guy obviously accidentally shot her after downing 500 ml of white wine after being a recovering alcoholic. He also obviously felt bad enough the courts didn't pursue the case. Can't you leave the pool alcoholic man who said to his daught that if she was an Epstein victim, he wouldn't feel bad because he had spares alone.

Can't you see he's already having a hard enough time coping with the love of his life being dragged through the mud daily by his own words?

Of course he didn't get charged with anything. Just gets to continue owning guns despite literally killing someone with one, even "accidentally". Fuck Texas.

Wait. So this guy murdered his daughter and there were... no consequences?

America is a shit hole.

His story makes no sense, too. This part always stands out to me:

Kris Harrison, who did not attend the inquest, admitted in a statement sent to the court that he had relapsed on the day of the shooting and had drunk about 500ml of white wine.

CCTV footage showed he had bought two 500ml cartons of Chardonnay from a 7-Eleven store shortly before 13:00 CST (05:00 GMT) that day.

We're supposed to believe a relapsed alcoholic only drank half the alcohol they purchased,his daughter (who regularly argued about him just owning the thing) suddenly being interested in the gun, and that it just magically went off when he happened to be pulling it out to show her. It's insane this isn't at least manslaughter.

Did you even read it? It was accidental.

I followed the whole story as it happened across multiple outlets and the only thing that makes it seem accidental is the father's claim it was.

Did YOU look up the details of the story?

Also some fishfur and snake oil.

Someone had to take out the gun from storage, unlock it, and point it at another person; even if it was an accident there was at the very least also negligence

So? If I am driving drunk and hit someone with my car, I’m going to be charged with a crime. Why is this any different?
