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
