Who the fuck goes to grab a gun during an argument with their child? What was he INTENDING to do??? Point it at her until she starts to agree with him?


He's british, so he literally had the privilige of growing up in an almost gun-free country, never had to interact with them once in his life. But goes to america and decides to go all in on gun culture (again, he didn't have to do that).

Daughter comes to visit. He didn't have to argue with her about politics or let it get so heated. But again, he goes there.

Doesn't have to go to his room and grab a gun. But again he goes there. And despite going all in on gun culture - even moving across the ocean presumably, in part, to have easier access to them - he doesn't take the time to learn trigger discipline.

This is a continued pattern down a bad path

Thinking isn't their strong suit. Intimidation and violence to coerce compliance is their strong suit.

Sadly, not all Brits are David Attenborough.

Meanwhile, a grand jury in the U.S. determined there was insufficient evidence to charge anyone, including Harrison, in connection with Lucy’s death.

She's dead from a gunshot wound to the chest. No one disputes that he was the only one in the room and had been holding the gun when it went off. Even if he didn't intend to fire the gun, this still means he was pointing a loaded gun at her. That alone is reckless enough to be a crime. That he then pulled the trigger and killed her makes it manslaughter at the very least.

Grand juries are rigged heavily in favor of the prosecution. There are only two ways for this to make sense: either the prosecution completely botched the case (intentionally or through unbelievable incompetence), or more than 1/4 of the jury were unwilling to indict a Trump supporter for murdering a family member who opposes Trump.

Never point a gun at something you don't want to destroy.
