You know he argued it. Probably said his daughter went crazy and had Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Not one bit.

I guess he stood his ground, protected his castle or feared for his life from a foreign invader....

Reading the article it appears to be a tragic accident. Hopefully he'll find peace.

This was a homicide not a murder. Murder is a very specific legal term. He was never convicted of murder, therefore he did not murder her. Words have meanings people. I thought we were smarter and better than this.

I think restricting all word-usage here to only legal definitions would be foolish.

You joined DU just to defend the killer.

He had no experience or formal training on how to use the gun and had reportedly never even shot it before. Pure negligence.

welcome to DU.

Good luck

is an irresponsible gun owner, and you feel sorry for him?

Seems like you went north on the internet when you meant to go south.

the linked article, or something else entirely? A "father" who says it wouldn't bother him too much if his daughter were raped because he has other daughters at home (someone should call social services)? Shaking my hurting head here.

Sadly, someone clearly wasted a heart.

How does that work? I'm curious.

The rest of us have been "reading the article," too. Were you hoping we wouldn't?

you can kill someone for disagreeing with you?
He picked it up and it just went off? Uhuh.

Good Lord you just killed your kid over Trump. That has to be the most deranged thing Ive ever heard.

of the demons inside them, meaning the children.

but couldn't remember if he had his finger on the trigger. Only two people in the room. Who pulled the trigger, tiny flying monkeys? Maggie Simpson? Come on. I get we may not have specific intent or mens rea, but...whatever.

The big Trump argument is a red herring.

missing the part where 5 alleged witnesses weren't enough, unless they witnessed something altogether different than what these articles have suggested.

Or I'm just missing the part in the "heavily redacted police report" where the father and the DA are old frat buddies or something.

his response to her question about thee epstein sickos.

Oh wait, yes they do.

It's not that difficult to know where a trigger is, how a safety works, to not chamber a round, nor aim it at someone.

He murdered her

Something sounds fishy..

English: She didn't support Trump
Texanese: She needed killing

That poor woman 😔

I will just make someone mad.

some sick fks. The act, sick enough, letting him off Scott free, just as bad, imo. The whole thing reeks of absolute bullshit.
