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.

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.

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.
