So the “responsible” gun owners in Texas think that getting drunk then shooting your daughter is perfectly acceptable because she dislikes Trump and guns?
Because brandishing a gun and aiming it at your kids while being an alcoholic and getting drunk is what Texans call “responsible”.
Lucy Harrison died after being shot in chest by alcoholic Kris Harrison while staying at his home in US last year
Robyn Vinter at The Guardian:
A Cheshire woman who was shot dead by her “reckless” father while visiting him in the US after a row about Donald Trump was unlawfully killed, a coroner has ruled.
Lucy Harrison, 23, who lived in Warrington and worked as a fashion buyer for Boohoo, was shot in the chest with a semi-automatic handgun by Kris Harrison while staying at his home in Prosper, Texas, on 10 January last year.
Kris Harrison, an alcoholic who had been drinking earlier in the day, pointed the gun at his daughter and pulled the trigger, senior coroner Jacqueline Devonish ruled.
He was never charged by Texas police in relation to her death, after claiming the gun went off accidentally while he “lifted it to show her”.
At the conclusion of the two-day hearing at Cheshire coroner’s court, Devonish found Harrison “knew full well he had shot his own daughter, pointing a gun at chest height and pulling the trigger”.
She ruled Lucy died due to unlawful killing on the grounds of gross negligence manslaughter.
Sam Littler, Lucy’s boyfriend, who was with her on the trip, told the inquest she had become upset earlier that day after having “quite a big argument” with her father about Trump, who was due to be inaugurated as president later that month.
Lucy had asked her father: “How would you feel if I was the girl in that situation and I’d been sexually assaulted?”
He responded that it would not upset him that much.
Littler said he always “felt on edge” while visiting, adding: “There was a lot of very opinionated people in the house.”
He said his girlfriend’s father had spoken in the past about taking the gun out of the box and walking around with it “like James Bond”.
A friend of Lucy’s also gave evidence saying she had confessed she felt “extremely anxious” in her father’s home due to “volatility”. She said Lucy was “categorically anti-gun” and was worried about there being a firearm in the house with her two younger half-sisters.
On the day Lucy was shot, Littler said he witnessed Harrison taking his daughter by the hand in a “mysterious” manner about 30 minutes before they were due to leave and led her to his bedroom, where he kept a Glock 9mm pistol.
Within about 15 seconds he heard a “loud bang”, which he had initially thought was a prank by Harrison.
Harrison, who works as an executive at a fibre optics company and moved to the US when Lucy was a child, said he kept the lethal weapon for “home defence”, for which he did not need a licence in the state of Texas.
British woman Lucy Harrison was killed by her MAGA cultist father Kris over an argument about Donald Trump while in the US state of Texas.
Another paradox is that happiness only comes when it is not sought after. This is called the paradox of hedonism. This is not too foreign. Just think of all the most compelling and interesting nights of your life. Often they arise when unplanned or out of boredom. As soon as an intention is set, the goal is lost. However, it seems counter-intuitive to claim life is best lived directionless and without purpose. This is what we consider depression, a state of confusion, and despair. It seems we have on our hands another paradox; life is best lived when aimlessly chasing something.
