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.

Huh? Is that “AII” or “All” or what?
Typical maga loser. So sorry for the woman, standing up to fundamentalist extremists in her own family.
So this Kris guy is an immigrant huh?
A violent immigrant
When the United Kingdom sends its people, they’re not sending their best…
I mean, they did send over their religious extremists, slavers, and prisoners, before moving on to other colonies. And the US has never recovered.

“Everything was fine, then the British showed up”
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.
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.
The best way is a lead vaccine.
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.
Covid wasn’t deadly enough. Change my mind
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.
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.
Trump supporters are too emotional to own weapons.
…
FAMILY VALUES!
They only have a problem with “honor killings” when they’re done by brown people.
These people view their children as property, and believe “I brought you into this world and I can take you out of it” at literal face value.
reminds me when a woman ran her husband over because he didn’t vote for mitt romney during the 2012 election.

these politicians don’t give a fuck about you and won’t hesitate to take away your livelihood no matter how ‘loyal’ you are.
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.
the leftism leaving peoples body when talking about prison abolition
no, but honestly, violent revenge fantasies don’t help anyone, not the victims, and for sure not society. That goes for prison rape especially (as you correctly put it), but same goes for assault or other forms of punishment.
Keep violent people like him away from people they could hurt, sure. But never give up trying to reform them into compassionate members of society. And if punishment is really something needed to put one’s mind at ease: The worst thing that could happen to him is he gets better as a human being and has to live with the consequences and guilt of his actions until the day he dies.
There’s certain conditions that you cannot reform. Murdering your own daughter over a verbal disagreement? We don’t have the resources to focus on rehabilitating him if its even possible. I’d rather these theoretical prison therapists spend more time working with inmates that went to prison for aggravated assault in a bar fight etc.
Sure, in a perfect society where his rehabilitation program doesn’t take time, money, and mental anguish from the therapist…it’d be nice to just separate him from society and revisit his ability to rejoin as a productive member decades later. But as of right now I don’t want to pay 45¢ to cover the cost of his rehabilitation when I could instead pay 20¢ to rehab a less complicated individual and the extra 25¢ could go to social safety nets or education.
No, there are some crimes that deserve to be punished by death.
This is not to rehabilitate or reform, it’s to protect the rest of society.
Also it’s clearly cruel and unusual punishment, which we are forbidden from using.
I watch a court video the other day of a judge telling a young ‘offender’ that if he’s not careful, he will go to prison and get “passed around” by the other inmates. I thought to myself “This judge, who knowingly sends people to a place where he know they will get raped, is an affront to justice. What an immoral piece of shit who willingly works with a system that is contrary to our legally defined moral obligations.”
It’s like Spencer Tracy said in the movie Judgement at Nuremberg. The very first time a Judge sentences one person to such unconscionable punishment, that is when the Judge becomes fully complicit with the system. Not just complicit, but a necessary and willing part of the system’s survival and propagation.
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.
There is no such thing as an “accidental discharge” when guns are involved.
Only “negligent discharges”
Is the current world not terrible or eventful enough that we need to post articles about individual actions from fucking JULY?!
I guess Lemmy is becoming Reddit.
July? God damn. Might have to block this guy, this isn’t the first time ive seen this article this session
This article was published yesterday.
Hey I’m confused, where are you getting July from? No offense meant btw, just trying to understand where I may be missing something? The article seems to have been posted yesterday and the death seemed to have happened last January but we didn’t hear about it because something something British courts as far as I could understand from the article
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”.
Unfortunately in their minds, like the police and court, they’d still think the father was faultless AND ignore/miss that comparisons completely
It is within their value framework, just not the correct belligerent and leader
You are free to go back to a Muslim country, run in sandals and shorts or live with your gay friend there - in case you have one. I am sure you will appreciate your life there. So, hop hop.
Yeah turd, about that… I’m first nation, so you pack your shit and you and your insecure white male club and go milk cows in England, or something. Cunt.
I bet I can guess what side of the issue Dad was on.
When he gets snapped out of his cult induced mind, he’s in for a hell of a time realising that he killed his own daughter in the name of a pedophile rapist.
