so I live around stupid fuckers like this in the deep south

he never intended to kill any of them, he was trying to run them off and was probably not thinking about consequences at all

betting he was also drunk

never intended to kill any of them

“He told police he shot his partner, Heather Hall, until she fell to the ground”

idk, seems like intent to me

probably legally but again stupid + drunk and angry with zero thought beyond the moment

something like ‘they’re not gonna kick me off my own property’ drunk as fuck and was interviewed in shock

I know someone that shot at his own mom cause she wouldn’t give him 20$, they got in a fight and she told him something like ‘shoot me if you don’t believe me I don’t have it’

stupid + redneck + drugs and anger

goddamn I guess it’s gotten crazier since I was last in that region

meth, it’s a fucking mess over lots of rural America and not just the south

Just wanted to make her sit down, duh. If all you have is a gun, every problem becomes a target.

Maybe his intention was just to clear the view, not to kill anyone. He's allowed to clear the view in his home, right? Anything above waist height has to go, I've felt the same many a time polishing my SMG in the garage. Alas, I have neither wife, kids, nor visitors to obstruct my view, for unrelated reasons.

With enough drugs or alcohol involved, this makes sense.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Oh, alcohol and drugs are always involved, very much always.

[–] urmom@lemy.lol 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you can't see how this happened without blaming it on drugs, it's not my problem

This one’s actually pretty funny. I’ll upvote it.

Seriously tho, grow up, you immature twat(s).

I am also going to bet he's a racist piece of shit and hardline Trump supporter, but that is neither here nor there.
