For the same reason that half the MAGAts in government that we have crimes + named suspects with mountains of evidence, and still no trial.
The same reason donld Trump incited a crowd of people, on camera, to go try and overthrow the government on a cold January morning 6 years ago, and despite people dying and people being murdered in the attempt, the person we have on camera starting it is now the goddamn president instead of in a cell or pine box.
We have no justice system. It only ever existed for whichever out group is being targeted. The rich and influential don’t exist in those groups and instead of trying to hide that like they used to, nowadays they just openly flaunt it.

Since the Kirk shooting there has been a violent eruption of “we are done with you”, right to left. We are not to be discussed or argued with henceforth, only removed, by whatever means.
This is the rhetoric. Clearly, it is more than rhetoric.

Grand jury, not regular jury, which likely consists of rich white men that’s a holdover from Jim crow. Prosecutors who agree with the defendent and intentionally try for charges they know won’t stay. Texas.

Have they at least taken his guns away since he’s clearly not responsible enough to own them? Oh wait, I forgot it was Texas for a second.

Let’s see if I got this right. He gets into an argument with his daughter where he says he doesn’t care if Donald Trump were to rape her because he has two more daughters. There is obviously no coming back from thinking let alone saying such a thing.
The next day he downs a bottle of wine and invites his daughter to his room right before she leaves back to England. In the room he claims she says she wants to see his handgun. As he pulls it out of the drawer and it just happens to go off and also just happens to be aimed right at her.
Yeah, dude couldn’t let her live after what he had told her, it is pretty obvious. He tricks her to coming into his room where there is no witness and silences her forever.
What is that title? “Man who shot British woman”?? Isn’t it a lot more interesting to say “Man who shot his own daughter”? Their relationship seems far more interesting and relevant to the situation than her country of origin, wtf is this journalism? Or am I missing something?

Shit headline. A trumper murdered his own daughter after an argument about Trump. He then claimed “accident.”
He got away with it.
Could someone please explain to me how the fuck do you kill someone, even if it’s manslaughter, and not get tried over it?
It was an honor killing because she spoke against the Dear Leader. That’s legal in Texas, haven’t you heard?
No, I’m serious, please eli5… Where I’m from, murder + suspect = a trial…
I think the grand jury rule it an accidental discharge (because it’s Texas) and it’s how you kill somebody without being held accountable
That would still qualify as manslaughter.
I’m a man and I’m not laughing.
You don’t have to say it, I was already leaving.
Took me too long but come back so I can tell you to get outta here.
If the prosecutor tries you for the wrong charge they’re usually not allowed to try again with a lesser charge
They can if this never got past the grand jury.
It’s extremely uncommon for them to try, but Trump is normalizing it
That’s insane. Sure, an accidental discharge is an accident. Whatever.
Pointing the gun in the direction that an accidental discharge would kill somebody is a guilty act.
And having the gun loaded should be, too.

they gotta soften it SOMEHOW!
You couldn’t make this shit up
Mhm, an accident. You don’t accidentally:
The trigger can be very sensitive and you can accidentally shoot a gun. After all other safety precautions have been purposefully violated
The justice system in the US is quite unjust.
I’m surprised they didn’t return on “negligence causing death” or so. The bar is lower.
But he was a red-stater, so maybe that’s …okay, now?
That guy’s neighbours need to chip-in for a billboard. Just with her face.
Okay. Maybe a “no justice no peace” in small print.
