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.
The article gets way worse, "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. "
Holy fucking shit.
Trump supporters are not good people
goodrealI personally know at least 10 people that are this person. I’ve been threatened with violence for voicing my opposition to Trump. Supposed Christians threatening violence because I don’t like their pedophile conman. They’re a bunch of little bitches.
Revelation 13:16.
It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads
You’d think Christians would be more aware of walking around with a symbol on their forehead (maga hats), but amazingly it takes an athiest who actually knows the bible to point it out, and booooooooy do they fuckin hate hearing it.
I’d be embarrassed to use their own scripture against them, because it would feel like I was admitting to believing it when I don’t.
Its just a book, dude.
Literally no different than using quotes from lord of the rings to highlight the unsettling similarities between Saurons evil and GenAI.
Yeah that’s also pretty silly
Construction is infested with Trump supporters. They’re always entitled imbeciles but there’s a lot of them
Oh, they are very very real.
This is how I know he murdered his own daughter.
I’ve been thinking about that for a few minutes now. Does it mean he considers them property which loose value by being raped?
That reply just doesn’t make sense to me.
I chose to be homeless at 19 because I was terrified my stepdad would find out I’d been raped and kill me for not being a virgin any more.
I dont think its a well reasoned response.
Yeah I was about to post the same shit. That is disgusting that is his fuckin daughter for fuck sake.
Texas should be nuked without question. That state is not worth saving after they said they wouldn’t indicate him.
Fuckin magats are willing to let their children get raped for the pedo god king trump.
WHAT THE FUCK! THE GRANDJURY REFUSE TO INDICT? This total bullshit hang that motherfucking dad from a fucking tree.
After they have witnesses of him telling her he didn’t care if she got raped!
Texas, I swear to God. I am from there, all of my family is there. My daughters adore their cousins and beg to move there. Absolutely not.
My MAGA Dad raised his hand like he was going to hit me at Christmas during a political discussion. I was shocked. He is old and feeble, so I told him I would hit him back.
I have an acquaintance whose husband wants to move to Texas, and like not a major city in Texas. I have some serious side eye for the whole situation.
I’m on the fence on this one. How old are they?
On the visit home over Christmas, the idea crossed my mind of retiring there, and I got fairly homesick. I miss the arid, rugged climate. I hate the cold. Being close to family would be nice, and Texas could use more hard-headed, angry liberals. But it’s too dangerous until my uterus is old and broken down and while I’m responsible for other people with functional or soon-to-be-functional uterii. Texas also has water shortage on the near-term horizon from shitty resource management, so it’s best to wait and see where that goes.
But my point is, everyone wants to go home to die, right?
She had elementary school children (including a daughter).

Texas is a shithole and they only people who don’t realize it have lived there their entire lives.
Texas. Not even once.
WHAT THE FUCK! THE GRANDJURY REFUSE TO INDICT?
Grand jury: We protect one of our own.
It’s clear the DA has a motive to mislead them.
A jury of peers
A jury of many beers
This is next level disturbing.
This is Texas
They were all cleaning their guns at the time.
And risk breaking a branch? There’s a perfectly good gun right there!
What is going on earth? İs this real? Did he shoot his daughter because of Trump?
What the article says is they disagreed on guns and argued about Trump. They went into his room to look at his 9mm glock and according to him the gun went of and he didn’t realize his finger was on the trigger. He relapsed to alcohol and was drunk at the time.
He said: “As I lifted the gun to show her I suddenly heard a loud bang. I did not understand what had happened. Lucy immediately fell.”
Harrison said he could not recall whether his finger was on the trigger.
I did not understand what had happened.
Maybe he shouldn’t be allowed to own guns, just a thought.
If you accidentally killed somebody with a gun, you probably aren’t well regulated enough to be a militia.

Too soon man, too soon
His finger was absolutely on the trigger, and he pulled it. Glocks don’t just go off. They’re pretty well engineered.
On the trigger or not, that’s exactly why you never “show” someone a loaded gun. Unless we are at a range and we’ve already done all the safety training and I feel that you’ve got a grasp of it, I’m not keeping a loaded gun in my hands around anyone I don’t plan on shooting.
It was pure negligence. Plain and simple. And now his daughter is dead. Accident or not, he ignored the rules and someone died from that negligence.
I don’t think it was negligence, I think it was murder that he played off as negligence.
Yeah. A Taurus or a Sig, maybe. Not a Glock. There’s a reason they’re so popular. They reliably fire when the trigger is pulled and only when the trigger is pulled.
Even if it was a Sig, it was only older model P322s that had that problem. Pistols firing without pulling the trigger isn’t nearly as common as people (including, apparently, this jury) believe.
Also the P320 - which was adopted as the new standard-issue handgun for the US military.
The Air Force actually suspended their use for a few months last year after one went off uncommanded and killed an airman. They inspected them and found that over 2% were already in unsafe condition after being adopted just 5 years earlier.
And the civilan version is worse and in the middle of several lawsuits. And this is after they were recalled for not being drop-safe.
We’ll never know the truth.
I shoot pretty often, and handguns are notoriously inaccurate. So I think he may very well have shot her in anger and fabricated this afterwards. Also it she was against guns, why would she follow someone, who is intoxicated, into another room, to look at one‽
This story is fishy as fuck.
Wow sounds like he really won that argument huh
I bet he’s telling the truth. Which is all kinds of even sadder than if he had shot her out of rage for a disagreement.
Maybe he is. They should have still brought charges against him.
I don’t know the US judicial system works, but Sweden has multiple tiers of criminal offenses for various kinds of violent outcomes.
Murder is premeditated and intentional. Manslaughter is not premeditated, but intentional. Then you have accidental causing of death, that is not premeditated and completely unintentional, which is still a criminal offense. The last tier is for careless drivers or workplace negligience leading to serious accidents, not for actual use of violence.
I think in this case, given that the gun was loaded, safety was off, he aimed it at her, and he more than likely had his finger on the trigger, he would have a really hard time getting away with manslaughter even.
It’s wild that it seems Texas prosecutors basically just dropped the case.
Obligatory IANAL, but I think US law is similar. Murder is any premeditated killing of another person. Voluntary manslaughter seems to be spontaneously but intentionally killing another person, and involuntary manslaughter involves criminal negligence that results in someone dying on accident. It seems here they have decided that he was not criminally negligent… Despite the fact that he was drinking, the gun was loaded, he pointed it at her, etc
Texas corruption is just out here showing its ass on the world stage. I would guess some Kool Aid drinking gun nuts got put on the grand jury and empathized with the guy.
Edit: Well, after reading the NY Times article on it, it sounds like the prosecutors office didn’t really try to make a case to the grand jury. The girl’s mother is quoted as saying: She also said that the grand jury in Texas “seemed to have no option but to conclude” that “no prosecution could be brought, based on the evidence they were presented with.”
IRL Sir Norman Fry testimony. Just not funny.
Sunk-cost fallacy.
Trumpers don’t want to admit to themselves or each other that they’ve been duped, so they just keep digging their hole deeper.
Trump supporter=Erdogan supporter i think.
Sort of like the “Russia Russia Russia” people …
Oh no, sorry, the Russian that lives inside my washing machine just showed me a gif, and now my eyes are like those cartoon spirals of hypnotized people!
Send help!!
He said it was an accident. I think a different article I read on this said he went back to treatment for alcoholism after this. This kinda suggests he was too drunk to remember. The other article noted the dad is not the one that called the ambulance which would more commonly be the case in an accidental shooting. But if he was drunk idk.
PSA: Avoid Texas, it’s never safe. It’s like Florida.
It really depends on the part. Austin and San Antonio are very art-focused, moderate/liberal cities in some of the most beautiful areas of the country, but everywhere in America has rural populations of utterly deranged hog-people.
A place like Dallas you aren’t as likely to get shot, but you are more likely to face weird, old-money racism and discrimination.
The problem with texas is it has some of the most vast areas of rural population, as the entire state is just this flat sprawl of land with isolated communities full of poor drug addicts who just stare at the flatness of it all before going insane.
There’s also Houston, the largest city in the state. Houston is alright, mostly.
Houston’s all right except for the sprawl and the terrible climate, that is. Well, that and a homicide rate 75% higher than that in Los Angeles.
I know two very excellent people from Texas. They both had the sense to move abroad. I keep ripping on them because “You forgot about the Alamo, didn’t you?!”
The alamo was a US led insurrection in Mexican territory because the rich US landowners there wanted slavery to continue, and for manifest destiony (aka zionist-style land theft). Its yet another stain on US history that we could only hope would ever be forgotten.
As a Liberal Texan, there are a lot of great, progressive places in Texas. Generalizing a whole fucking state is pretty shitty. You realize how many millions of people live here?
Yes, our governor sucks ass. The state is jerrymandered into Republican control. However, as someone who has travelled and lived in over two dozen states in the US, I can tell you I’ve seen some of the biggest Trumpers in rural “blue states” like California.
Don’t blanket assume everyone is a gun toting, Trump voting Republican just because a state OVERALL votes a certain way.
People can be great, towns and cities can be nice, but corruption from leadership can ruin it for everyone. True for a state, the same for a country.
Agreed, but much like all Americans aren’t assholes because of the Federal government being Trump’s cronies, generalizing the entire state of Texas as “a shithole” is what I find offensive.
then direct your ire at all the Americans ruining your reputation.
Well tough shit
Sounds like something Trump would say. I never called it a shithole, I just said it’s not safe there.
It doesn’t even matter what people on the Internet think of you. Wake up from your defensiveness. America is already at the point now where we are going to have to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Texas has long been a lost cause.
Fuck this opinion. Every last member of my family is in Texas. From Austin to Ft. Worth. All the women are liberal and all the men are gun toting MAGAs. Maybe one brother is just a conspiracy-minded libertarian, but the rest are MAGAs. I still love them and visit them, but I don’t want them having any legal jurisdiction over me or my kids.

Objectively speaking, you have to admit that if you are from any other states and visit Texas you would more likely be harassed by law enforcement or be a target for being an outsider. Does that mean that the citizens are all a reflection of that? Not really, but it would be very hard to convince a tourist (international or otherwise) to visit a state that has a backwards viewpoint that bleeds into their justice system.
Case in point, this women gets smoked and no charges are being pressed.

it’s a shame cause the food is sinfully out in the lone star state
Unless you’re one of the billionaires fleeing the billionaire tax in California, in which case yes go to Texas, it’s way safer then the crime ridden California cities. You don’t even need to bring your body guards.
In fact, just broadcast to the world where you’re going everyday. Walk amongst the citizenry, it’s safe!

Man shoots daughter dead and everyone’s just okay with it because she didn’t like Trump?! The fuck is going on down there? How have you existed as a country this long?!
Man shoots daughter dead and everyone’s just okay with it because she didn’t like Trump?!
It’s like South Asian “honor” murders where women are killed for even the most trivial matters.
Literally, these are honor killings. Full stop. Take a look at the gender makeup of these anti-ICE protests and then take a look at the ICE goons.
It’s patriarchy, and people fighting patriarchy. It’s always been about white guys feeling terrified of their power eroding, and since white patriarchy has no coherent acceptable response other than rage, their first resort is everyone else’s last resort.
Fascism is about man always sitting at the head of the table and wearing the pants.
That’s a good point. Pointless and senseless but makes sense to some in some convoluted way to justify it. Just sad that it is acceptable. And what honour they aim for over such a shitty example of humanity?!
This has been going on forever, all Trumpism did was give it a shape so that it could make the news.
It also goes on everywhere in the world, all the time.
Our species is not what you think it is, and I am sad for every thinking, feeling person who thinks they know how bad the situation is, but hasn’t yet had that moment where it all sinks.
- Accidentally took the daughter in the downstairs bedroom.
- Accidentally produced a gun.
- Accidentally loaded it.
- Accidentally pointed it at the daughter.
Accidentally flicked the safety off.Apparently it was a Glock- Accidentally pulled the trigger.
…
Color me suspicious but even if all that was just a series of unlucky coincidences, that man should be kept away from all guns for the rest of his life. At the very minimum.
Accidentally robbed a bank
Accidentally killed a few politicians
Accidentally speared pedophile cultists
He told the court that later that day, about half an hour before they were due to leave to go to the airport, Lucy had been in the kitchen when her father took her by the hand and led her into his ground-floor bedroom. Littler said he heard a loud bang about 15 seconds later and then Kris Harrison screamed for his wife, Heather.
Jesus fucking Christ he fucking executed her
Dude admitted he was an alcoholic who had already had a bottle of wine before the shooting, and they couldn’t get a manslaughter charge to at least go to trial? Being drunk and accidentally killing someone is manslaughter.
This country is so fucked up.
In religiously paternalistic Texas, killing one’s own children is a God-given biblical right.
Unless they’re unborn! There is nothing more sacred than an unborn baby. Born babies can get discarded, though.
She was slandering Dorito Jesus, if anything he’s a hero.
I have heard it said that the prosecution has enormous power over what grand juries get to hear, to such an extent that grand jury results are mostly just a way of formalizing what the prosecutor has already decided. If the state wants an indictment, the state pretty much always gets one.
Served on grand jury, can confirm. In general they will lay it out how they want. You clearly can get their bias in wanting to pursue and not pursue cases.
That and the general “hive mind” lead to very predictable outcomes, especially when you can get early dismissal once you’ve cleared your docket.
So they’re doing honor killings now?
Y’all Qaeda and the most excellent Yee-hawd.
“YOU DON’T TALK ABOUT MY FAVORITE PEDOPHILE LIKE THAT!!!”
Have you ever noticed how the right always says the “left went too far” and somehow manages to push their argument by pointing to a single tweet or headline? Why doesnt that work against them too?
They don’t give a shit about words or truth, they just yell and invent when they don’t get their way until everyone does what they want because they are the smart ones who know better, which is why they need to kill everyone who doesn’t agree with them and say it’s because that’s what we want
Because they don’t care about evidence or facts unless it fits into their narrative.
You can point to posts advocating for violence or censorship coming from their ilk and they’ll just attribute it back to the other side because “we wouldn’t need to if they didn’t do it to us first.” It’s just the abuser justification, “look at what you made me do”.
Or they will just outright deny reality, dismissing opposing evidence as conspiracies, exaggerated, or misunderstood. Did Elon really do a Nazi salute? “No, no. He was just sending his heart out to Americans!”
And when there’s overwhelming evidence that they can’t do mental gymnastics around? They shut down the conversation. They stop talking about it. They ignore it. They bury it. Out of sight, out of mind.
When someone is indoctrinated into that way of thinking and makes their politics a part of their personality, you are not going to beat them at their own game. Their sense of identity is tied to their beliefs and their ego will not let them accept anything that goes against those beliefs. They need to be deprogrammed.
Texas is beyond fucked.
It’s a shame our registered Democrats don’t actually vote. We outnumber the Republicans by 1.5m.
It’s a shame our registered Democrats don’t actually vote.
A truly crazy thing to say, given the systematic voter disenfranchisement the state suffers from.
There was a seven hour long line to vote in one of Houston’s bluest districts. This story was further complicated, when the last person to vote in this line was targeted by the state’s AG for prosecution.
When Hervis Rogers went viral on social media for being the last person in line at Texas Southern University to cast a vote at 1 a.m. on Super Tuesday, he was applauded as a tenacious, civic-minded man who worked hard to exercise his right to vote.
Now, Rogers is being prosecuted by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office for allegedly voting illegally while on parole.
The arrest came just one day before the Texas Legislature convened on Thursday to begin a special session, where a controversial voting bill is on the agenda. Republicans in favor of new voting restrictions point to cases like Rogers’ as proof of an insecure system. However, there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Another notable case was a woman who cast a provisional ballot while out on parole. She was hit with a five-year prison sentence, which took years to overturn.
Democrats want people in Texas to vote? Maybe Biden’s DOJ should have decriminalized Voting While Black within the state, while he had that power.
Where did you get that number from? Texas doesn’t have party affiliation on voter registration. Affiliation is automatic when you vote in a primary and expires at the end of the calendar year, and I be surprised if we’ve ever had bigger turnout for the Democratic primaries during my voting-age life.
Thanks, that’s where I was assuming. Like I want to believe, given the population spread throughout the state it seems reasonable to think there should be more left-leaning voters. But take for example this blurb from that site:
Texas voters do not register by party. However, when those voters participate in a partisan primary, that ballot choice is recorded and reported on the state voter file. In the absence of stronger indications (e.g. partisan political contributions or identification due to the holding of partisan public office) the most recent even-year partisan primary ballot is used .
But the 2024 primary turnout were 1.8M Republican ballots and 831k Democratic ballots. And that’s actually up vs the 725k Democratic primary ballots in 2020 (vs ~1.9M Republic ballots that year)! So that doesn’t add up.
We do know that there are otherwise-Democratic voters who vote in the Republican primaries because the districts are gerrymandered such that the primary is basically the real election (looking at me here).
This information is supplemented through the use of modeling analytics. Likely race in major urban areas plays a major role in that modeling.
I wish they would give more info than this.
Yeah, I was hoping they’d go into more detail about how they got their numbers in the link at the top of the page, but no such luck.
but they do purposely employ voter supression measures in democratic areas, so the non-affiliation doesnt matter anyways.
The Repubs rejoice about that, as well as making it harder to vote.
in texas DEMOCRATS are heavily voter suppressed, compared to other states.
Texas, the One Star State.
and frozen from time to time. i assume they still have feral hog problems in the state.
Boy howdy are my lawyers gonna have a time with anything I post here.

Seeing as like two cases of illegal immigrants killing pretty white girls is being constantly used as justification of deporting all illegal immigrants, does this mean we can use this as justification of deporting all MAGA supporters?
