The article said other people were in the home. So multiple witnesses.

But then murder daddy took his daughter up to his room out of sight and shot her, there was nobody else in the room with them

This is what I’m talking about. He is highly likely just a dipshit that can’t safely handle firearms

Which is usually called "criminal negligence" and should still result in charges and jail time

but lots of people are reading the title and saying “MAGA dad assassinates daughter for being liberal”

Well, we really do not know and both options are equally possible... you are just taking one side with no evidence and complain about the other side for doing the same

You're right, when I first read this article, not much had come out in the details of what happened and I had assumed the discussion was much more civil than it was later revealed to be. The guy still deserves jail time regardless but it seems significantly more likely now that this was a case of malicious intent turned into claims of "an accident". Even if he didn't know it was loaded he still took intentional actions.
