Don’t forget to read beyond the headline, folks! The headline makes it sound like she was killed because of the argument, but based on the account of the events in the story, that isn’t what happened. He was clearly drunk and handling a firearm recklessly (and probably more than a little bit trying to “own the libs”), but according to the late girl’s boyfriend who was nearby, the father was horrified and screaming for help immediately after this happened. This wasn’t any sort of “honor killing” or anything, just an idiot redneck being an idiot.

Damn I gor drunk and accidentally killed my liberal daughter. How I let this happen, complete mystery.
According to the boyfriend, yeah, that’s exactly what happened. The argument was probably a cause of the accident, but not a motive for murder.
