Sadly to me this just tracks with the statistic that 30% of people have parenting styles that are an identifier for their willigness to accept authoritarianism...

Well it is Texas... The state with bounties for people offering abortion support.

the scraps. And letting the most evil people in the world murder any opposition to them/refuse to prosecute those horrific mass shootings and killings.

If the courts refuse to act then vigilante Justice is completely warranted.

Children as property of men. The women too

i bet these jurors would consider themselves "pro life" as well

So true and the rage that comes from a parent when their child comes out as LGBTQ+ is coming from the same sense of ownership

And that's different from abortion, how? Until the fetus opposes the parent, it is protected. Upon disobedience, death is a parent's right. So Texans agree with Taliban, now?!

Same for animals we share the world with..

His last words to her were "I have two daughters left so I'll be fine" 😭

EEUU is diferent, there are a lot of assholes with weapons.

The shooting was over a year ago, we're hearing about it now because of an English coroner's inquest. This will almost certainly return a verdict of unlawful killing given that even his version of events is probably gross negligence manslaughter (pointing a loaded gun at someone while drunk).

Sickening. Trump people are the shittiest humans.

Oh my God, TEXAS, what is WRONG WITH YOU⁉️...JFC‼️

Collin County is one of the reddest in Texas, unfortunately.

Dude loves pedophiles so much he killed his kid over one.

What in the fuckety fuck fuck. Does ’stand your ground’ mean intellectual assault too? I don’t even know what to do with that

As I'm not a lawyer or a coroner nor bound by the legal profession, I am perfectly free to say that I wasn't born yesterday, and that every aspect of this situation stinks.

The mf had already told his daughter that he wouldn’t have minded if Trump and Epstein had raped her because “he had other daughters.“ Nut we’re supposed to believe that after telling her this, he calmly walked his daughter to his bedroom just to show her his gun and “oops it went off!” 🙄🙄

Jesus christ

What one has to understand about Texas is that it's one of the most traitorous, anti-democracy, anti-US Constitution, anti-rule of law, anti-USA, Neo-Confederate provinces of Magadonia out there.

Republicans definitely don't care about Black lives, but they also apparently don't care about white lives either. They keep saying "all lives matter," but they're really showing they believe "no lives matter."

Oh look, The State doing what the The State has always done - clearly demonstrate that some have protection w/no responsibility. But this time it’s a white woman at the business end & not somebody you can feel comfortable blaming for their own death.

Sounds like Texas is looking to start a MAGA based "shariah law" with its own justified "honor killings" 🤦🏻‍♀️

Texas: "Responsible gun ownership!" Also Texas: "Gun owners shouldn't be held responsible!"

Sacrificing your child for your religion is a abomination but it seems to be acceptable for Christians.

What the fuck

Imagine if he’d been a Bernie supporter

What the fuck, Texas?!? Another reason not to visit the US.

Is this real???

Texas is rife with fragile beliefs of existential threats to an America that doesn't exist. The people who buy into it are willing to murder anyone if they think their fabricated reality is in danger.

and people keep saying texas is on the verge of turning blue. no it isn't. it's american taliban-land.

You’re argument is there are huge numbers of Texans but precious few gun toting Trumpies who hate their lib daughters?

And speaking as someone with Southern roots, I am so very bored with the lame excuse that the reason a lot of those people are assholes is because other people accurately identified them as such.

It's not inaccurate though. Sharia law in some Muslim countries imposes a death penalty for being LGBTQ. A man can divorce verbally; a woman must go to court. Women are legally subordinate. It also imposes the death penalty for apostasy, publishing porn and...witchcraft. See Saudi Arabia, Yemen, etc

Yeah, we don't need the xenophobia when you can just read the Bible for the horrid punishments it has for "crimes."

It runs thru Tx too. Not just Trump. Not just USA. World wide problem. We need more women leaders.

Unfortunately I have been called demonic many times in my life. One time when I was a kid a woman grabbed my head and started feeling for horns. She didn’t find any, obviously. But I was freaked out. This happened when she found out I was Jewish.

christ almighty. dad cosplayed being an ugly American to its most stark conclusion imaginable. shooting and killing your daughter to own the libs.

It's great how this site managed to get the politics of Khive twitter and the reading comprehension of Tumblr.

I periodically tell my students that I'm teaching them Latin because they need to learn how to read closely & carefully lest they become a So You Hate Waffles person online as adults.

"Comprehension" is a dirty word.

3 cue, man, 3 cue

We’re all somebody’s large adult offspring

He claims it was accidental and he was drunk and just showing it to her, and even if that were true, he's guilty of some level of crime. And if he were an immigrant from anywhere else, Trump and Kristi Noem would be attacking him and his country.

Okay so how on earth is this guy not in prison right now? He’s essentially admitting to manslaughter there. It seems if you have a jury of MAGA shit stains, you can murder your daughter in cold blood and get away with it.

www.bbc.com/news/article...

it's 2/3 bottle of wine, and if that's what he admitted to drinking it's surely more… but it doesn't matter, he did what he did

man if they couldn't get a gran jury to indict, I gotta think the prosecutor wasn't really trying

This idiot murdered his daughter because he is Trump fan and she was not. Some men get really frustrated and even violent when their women don't just shut up and nod.

What the fuck, did the prosecutors bring in every single one of this guy’s drinking buddies to fill the grand jury?

Jesus Christ

I hate how MAGA people can't just allow others to exist differently than them. I don't know what to do about that I just know I'm sick of hearing stories about their brutality and hatred that suffers no consequences.

Yeah, I notice the NRA "guns don't just go off all by themselves" twerps are suddenly really quiet on this one.

The premise of ordered society is tomorrow. Not even that all of us will see that tomorrow, but that there will be one. If you murder my beloved in cold blood, admit it, and I wait for the legal system to act, only for it to refuse to charge you with even a token slap on the wrist? Lughnasadh.

I’m still angry about this. Been thinking about it since I woke up. It’s the lack of a charge of any sort that infuriates me. It isn’t even the system procedurally shielding cops or the rich throwing money at lawyers to get off. Just straight up, “it is perfectly legal to shoot your lib daughter.”

I'm Canadian. My wife just disowned her father two nights ago because he screamed at her, called her worthless, dumb, and 'brainwashed by the CBC' when Trump came up, because he spends all day, every day, listening to rebel news and other alt-right shows. This headline made my heart stop.

Jesus. Fucking. Christ... All letters, no abbreviations.

You mean the state that puts bounties on women who get abortions thinks it’s okay to murder family members if they don’t agree with your Nazi politics? Well color me shocked. 🙄

No link to that article in this update..: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Grew up in Texas. They absolutely do. I can't wait to get out of here.

So fucking sick. Is disagreement considered disobedience already, though?

Well Barrett has no compunctions....Keep looking over you shoulder, A$$hole....

That's fucking disgusting. SMDH

*perceived* disobedience

This non-indictment is a grotesque miscarriage of justice. The grand jury’s non-action shows the moral rot at the core of too many gun supporters.

Quite a lot of americans view their children as their personal property

Abortion is illegal in Texas before the age of 23.

If the father was an immigrant the right would be all over this.

Grand Jury might have refused, but the people's jury hopefully won't.

Wtf

Yet women who are legitimately shooting a man in self-defense get convicted of murder.

I think you are right about them thinking this cretin murdering his daughter was justified, and it chills me to the bone.

Outrageous. Keep this in mind, world, before visiting this state.

Basically, right? If Texans were reported on the way the muslim world is, that's what it'd be called.

@jasondashbailey.com reminds me of the news story that Joe reflected

it's exasperating/depressing/etc that I can't say I'm surprised when I see Collin County and Parker involved.

So Christian Nationalists are adopting “honor killings” now?

These assholes are afraid is Shari'a law but totally ok with evangelical honor killings. Lovely.

I'm pretty sure they don't consider them as people because they're not the "right" colour and as such the pro-birthness doesn't extend to them :( God I hate this timeline.

Ce pays est une déchèterie

Jesus fucking Christ

Anyone still on the Trump train is a deranged freak and a dipshit. The sort of deranged freak who will murder you for criticizing the Fuhrer? The sort of dipshit who is a “gun enthusiast,” but will disregard every basic gun safety rule when showing you his gun? Just assume yes to both.

I mean, that's what he said happened. Which is already criminally negligent or so I hear (pointing the gun at her etc) but then there's the question of if what he said is even plausible a sequence of events. Why was he showing her the gun? Why did she want to see it? How unreliable a gun was it?

He drunkenly led her into his bedroom and shot her after they argued earlier, seems pretty obvious what happened

I'm not going to extend the benefit of the doubt to a guy who killed his daughter shortly after telling her he wouldn't care if she got raped by the president.

Are you fucking kidding me man

It doesn't sound like an accident, it sounds like he murdered her while drunk and is coming up with an excuse. We have a solution for disagreements like this: it is called "trial by jury"

If you kill your daughter “ accidentally” it’s manslaughter, not bloody crickets.

and he was drunk when he shot her. She was 30 minutes away from the rest of her life. I want to know who he is and what his connections are that they didn’t press charges. Handling a loaded gun while drunk should at LEAST be manslaughter but this sounds like murder

Large swaths of Texas need to be razed to the ground.

trump thinks these are the "right" (white) kind of immigrants though.

And my family wonders why I avoid talking politics with them.

This is the most Texas story I have ever read.

Honestly the only push-back I saw here among Texans was due to it being a canned hunt, and not "real" hunting. 🤷‍♀️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canned_...

And that's different from abortion, how? Until the fetus opposes the parent, it is protected. Upon disobedience, death is a parent's right. So Texans agree with Taliban, now?!
