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.

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.
America** has never recovered
FTFY
The world has never recovered
FTFTFY
“Everything was fine, then the British showed up”
Check m8
Typical maga loser. So sorry for the woman, standing up to fundamentalist extremists in her own family.
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!
Degenerates like him belong on a cross.
Nah, he doesn’t deserve to be a martyr.
That’s why you don’t stop with him.
Nice name XD
Trump supporters are too emotional to own weapons.
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”
This, I always get slammed for it in gun communities but I think Glock convincing everyone that pistols don’t need safeties (and later that safeties are a liability) is the single most dangerous action in the gun community in my lifetime. Safeties aren’t there to keep the gun from firing on its own, that’s just any modern gun that doesn’t malfunction, they exist as a final measure against human error.
If you buy a gun without a safety and allow anything to touch the trigger when it’s pointed at something you are not fully comfortable with shooting, you are negligent.
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”.
Our values
It is within their value framework, just not the correct belligerent and leader
Muslim woman shot dead after arguing about Donald Allah. Black woman shot dead after arguing about Donald Obama.
Forget the whole Trump angle that might be motive. Why wasn’t he at least charged with manslaughter? It seems outrageous that he could claim accidental and get away with it.
you missed the part where women aren’t people in Texas. women are property. he owned his daughter because she was his daughter. and in America, you can do whatever you want with your property.
Not if every tech company in the country has anything to say about that
Oh no. Your devices aren’t your property like your women are. You bought access to Apple’s iPhone.
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.
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.
The death penalty probably doesn’t work. And talking about who “deserves” the death penalty is once again just lust for vengeance.
No, you are wrong.
The death penalty works just fine for what it needs to do - it removes a threat to society.
And some crimes warrant removing a threat from society.
Okay. And who decides what constitutes a “threat to society”?
And you know that about 10% of people are wrongfully convicted, right? Is it okay to kill 10% innocents to “keep society safe”?
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.
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.
I bet I can guess what side of the issue Dad was on.
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.
trump derangement syndrome strikes again. this mental disorder has infiltrated almost all levels of government including ICE and has killed 2 US citizens. and now another one. when will there be a cure of this disorder.
Way the fuck more than 2. You may not have seen the other ≈500 or so, because those deaths weren’t caught on camera, but since ICE was founded in 2003, around 500 people have died in ICE custody. In the last year that has skyrocketed to around or over 60 people dying in a single year (2025). Previously the high point, even under the first Drumpf administration was only around 30-32 people in a year.
In 2025 60 people died in ICE custody. In 2026 they have gunned down, directly murdering in public as opposed to in custody, 2 people before they took them into custody, THAT WE KNOW OF.
Who the fuck knows what they are doing outside of camera range. That’s like 99% of US territory, though admittedly ≈80% of the population lives in the scanscapes of the cities and towns.
don’t do that. calling it anything other than a cult only provides them with more fuel to burn in their “us vs them” hate machine.
yes, they are deranged. yes, they are psychotic. yes, they are a danger to the general population. no, it’s not a syndrome. it’s a lack of education that empowers domestic terrorists to manipulate and brainwash people susceptible to suggestion, IE a “cult”.
They don’t see themselves as a cult. You calling them a cult just allows them to ignore everything else you have to say. You have to meet them with their own doublespeak if you want to break the cultish brainwashing, and force them to question themselves.
Antagonistic conversion will only entrench their beliefs. The way you have to deradicalize them is to earnestly question things until they can no longer deny the hypocrisy and doublethink/ doublespeak.
Remember who you were when you were 2 years old, and “why” was the greatest question in the world, but force them to provide receipts. Make them explain the joke that you “innocently” don’t understand. Make them say the quiet parts out loud, because you “don’t understand.” Either they will deradicalize themselves, or they will stop talking to you permanently.
“Why is that funny?,” and “You aren’t being the neighbor that Fred Rogers knew you could be,” are effectively a social chemical (gas) weapon and a social nuclear weapon, respectively, when deployed correctly in the US. They must be deployed with an innocent and loving tone.
Follow this up with, “No. I need to understand, you’re supposed to teach me to be a good person. Explain this please.” Or something similar, and you can literally watch people deprogramming themselves.
“The Dragon is a bad thing! The Dragon ate my grandma!” Resonates with everyone, even those that haven’t heard it yet.
They don’t see themselves as a cult.
people in cults never do.
You calling them a cult just allows them to ignore everything else you have to say.
people in cults usually do.
You have to meet them with their own doublespeak if you want to break the cultish brainwashing, and force them to question themselves.
no I don’t. breaking programming requires one of two things. force or logic. logic won’t work with this cult, and force is unscalable without collaterall damage.
Antagonistic conversion will only entrench their beliefs.
correct, which is why you shouldn’t ever try to “double speak” them.
The way you have to deradicalize them is to earnestly question things until they can no longer deny the hypocrisy and doublethink/ doublespeak.
as I said, logic won’t work with this cult.
I’m not even going to finish reading your comment because you clearly have a lack of experience or understanding of how programming and cults work. this is especially true since many of the members of this cult have had their programming fortified over the last 20 years. put simply, they are entrenched and the only thing that may work is a shock to their system. even that though, is unlikely to work.
How many have you successfully reached? I’ve been deprogramming them for decades. I know of at least 6 people that I successfully deradicalized this way in the last 2 decades, and as many as 18 over the last 4.
For one person that isn’t exactly nothing. These people all exist in The Bible Belt, aka Trump Country, and I have lived in California for the last decade.
As I thought. Your methods have resulted in 0 positive results.
My methods have resulted in the better part of 2 dozen positive results. Not a great percentage, but better than 0. Emotions work much better than logic with these people, despite my objections to that.
The definition of insanity is trying the same failed methods over and over expecting different results.
I wonder if we can scale those methods up with AI, perhaps?
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.
Sorry, I think my brain did a swapsies with the J months.
While I think these types of events do show how news media covers individual violence differently, I find it kinda annoying to have any reports on individual acts of violence on a “world news” community unless those individual actions have larger effects. Reporting individual acts of violence from any “other” side gives people an unhealthy justice boner.
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.
