A British woman who was shot dead by her father while visiting his home in Texas had argued with him about US President Donald Trump earlier that day, an inquest has heard.

Lucy Harrison, from Warrington in Cheshire, was shot in the chest on 10 January 2025 in Prosper, near Dallas.

Police in the town investigated the 23-year-old's death as possible manslaughter but no criminal case was brought against Kris Harrison after a grand jury in Collin County declined to indict him.

An inquest into Lucy Harrison's death opened earlier at Cheshire Coroner's Court, where her boyfriend Sam Littler described the "big argument" about Trump, who was preparing to be inaugurated for his second term of office.

MAGA is a virus. The US needs to be ostracized by the global community until they come to their senses, if they ever do come to their senses.

If this was yt or some other place besides Lemmy...I'd wouldn't be able to tell if you were serious or not.

Per the article

Littler said on the morning of 10 January his partner had asked her father during the Trump row: "How would you feel if I was the girl in that situation and I'd been sexually assaulted?" Kris Harrison had replied that he had two other daughters who lived with him so it would not upset him that much.

There's really no words in our collective human languages to describe such a monster. Pure evil. I hope this man suffers forever.

I was just quoting the father from the article.

So I saw. I knew you didn't mean it just to be clear. I was just saying here that seems to be the only place of sanity anymore.
