A British woman was shot dead by her father last year after the pair had argued about President Donald Trump earlier that day. Lucy Harrison, 23, was fatally shot on Jan. 10, 2025 while visiting her father, Kris Harrison, in suburban Dallas at his home in Prosper, Texas. Harrison moved to the U.S. when Lucy was a child.

Prosper police originally investigated her death as a possible case of manslaughter, but a criminal case in Texas was not brought after a grand jury in Collin County opted not to indict him. Her death is being investigated in Cheshire Coroner’s Court in England.

    Now replace British by Muslim and trump by Allah (or Black and Obama), and watch right wing media explaining how “these people” are dangerous and not compatible with “our values”.

    Murdered his own daughter for a person who fundamentally hates him.

    The “I don’t know how the gun went off” thing is bullshit. Even if it was accidental, which it wasn’t, then she’s still dead because of his actions.

    In a statement issued by his lawyers, the killer said, “I fully accept the consequences of my actions, and there isn’t a day I don’t feel the weight of that loss - a weight I will carry for the rest of my life

    Bull Fucking Shit.

    ‘Man’ murdered his daughter is cold blood and expects everyone to feel sorry for him. I hope he rectally gets he deserves in prison.

      Prison rape isn’t funny or acceptable when it happens to bad people either. It just perpetuates the idea that anal sex between two men is always a savage act.

      Instead, hope he gets savagely assaulted regularly for what he did.

    On the morning of the shooting, at her father’s four-bedroom, $900,000 home, Littler said Lucy had asked her father, “How would you feel if I was the girl in that situation and I’d been sexually assaulted?” while they were discussing Trump.

    Kris responded that he had two other daughters living in their home, so it would not upset him very much.

    FAMILY VALUES!

    He claims it was an accident, and honestly, even if I completely believe his story and take him at his word (I don’t) what poor impulse control from that childish, ignorant, weak, stupid, fragile man. No surprise he’s a Trump supporter.

    Typical maga loser. So sorry for the woman, standing up to fundamentalist extremists in her own family.

    I’m beginning to wonder if the libraries worth of books written about WWII were an attempt to try to understand a phenomenon, but in all that examination we were still unable to identify the best way to prevent or battle fascism.

        I get what you’re saying but I think a better way is a far deadlier pandemic with an actual, perfectly working vaccine. Those idiots will refuse and kill themselves over their culture war.

          I distinctly remember one old man who refused the COVID vaccine, dying in the hospital, that was asked by a reporter if he regretted not taking the shot. He said no and he’s make the same decision again. He died ugly and in pain, and I’m glad he suffered for his stupidity.

            Change your own mind, ya misanthrope. You can’t hate humans better. The most important finding of all psychology is the Fundamental Attribution Error. Far less than our inherent traits, it is situations that dictate our behaviour.
