She was standing closer than this when she shot him. Again. INSTANT dirt nap.

At that size... (how do I phrase this?)... the carnage must have been.. uh... all over the place. Dear God.

Honestly, those kids might have a better chance if they’re placed with a good family as opposed to two parents who are so smart they think books can stop guns.

This is the part that really disturbs me. Yes, one moron killed her moron boyfriend. And there’s another child that will grow up without at least one parent. But I can’t even imagine how traumatized that 3 year old is going to be after WATCHING his mother kill his father. Probably going to be his first memory.

Not to mention when one of the conservative darlings or former darling literally says that 20 dead kids matter less than his Second Amendment rights, you are dealing with people who are not right in the head.

So, she’s nineteen and has a three year old with this guy. So she delivered at 16. He’s 22 (also quite young) so became a father at 19. But his 18 or 19 year old self was screwing her 15 or 16 year old self. Does that bother anyone? Just me, then?

Since everybody else has pretty much coverede the other aspects of this - the nature of the legal charge, the absurdity of expecting a book to stop a .50, the sad situation fo the children, etc. - I’ll talk about the one kind of neglected so far: the motive.

Exactly. 0.50 Cal rounds are not to be fucked with. They are used to literally shoot through concrete walls and lightly armored vehicles to hit targets on the other side (granted, the projectile in question can vary quite a bit, but from less than a meter away it makes little difference).

GOOD LORD.

My libertarian father is not so crazy that he believes Sandy Hook was a false flag op with fake actors. He’s just a lousy asshole of a libertarian, because his response, when I brought this up with him, was something insanely offensive along the lines of, “There are no guarantees in life.” LOL. I guaranteed him…

Who knew stupid people with firearms could be so dangerous.

Don’t forget the time it takes to gestate! She could have been 15 at the time.

On Wednesday, 19-year-old Monalisa Perez shot her boyfriend, 22-year-old Pedro Ruiz III, in the chest from a foot away with only an encyclopedia covering his body, killing him.

Yeah I’m pretty much with you on this. I feel sorry for her children but damn, that is one special kind of stupid. Those pistols can penetrate metal. A ten second google search would’ve made her realize this was 11 levels of idiocy.

I don’t think people grasp how HUGE a Desert Eagle .50 cal pistol is and the size of the bullet.

“19-year-old Monalisa Perez shot her boyfriend, 22-year-old Pedro Ruiz III”

I saw the headline on the NY Times and assumed it was a 9mm or something similar. How could anyone think a goddamn hand cannon could be stopped by a hardcover?

This is a tragic scenario for her and especially for her children, who will now grow up with a mother in jail and a dead father.
