New York man convicted of murdering woman in car that turned into his driveway
Kevin Monahan, 65, shot 20-year-old Kaylin Gillis after a car she was riding in with friends made a wrong turn on his property
A man was convicted of second-degree murder Tuesday for fatally shooting a young woman when the SUV she was riding in mistakenly drove up his rural driveway in upstate New York.
A jury found Kevin Monahan, 66, guilty of second-degree murder for shooting 20-year-old Kaylin Gillis on a Saturday night last April after she and her friends pulled into his long, curving driveway near the Vermont border while they were trying to find another house.
The group’s caravan of two cars and a motorcycle began leaving once they realized their mistake. Authorities said Monahan came out to his porch and fired twice from his shotgun, with the second shot hitting Gillis in the neck as she sat in the front passenger seat of an SUV driven by her boyfriend.
Years of "fear the other, they're coming for you" Fox News.
An old, sweet lady was once talking to my wife about the blackout curtains in our bedroom. She says she bought some like it so "antifa couldn't see inside" her house.
It makes me so angry that Fox News convinced her to be scared of a boogyman.
I've tried saying "don't fall for those conspiracy theories". Don't know if it made him rethink but he sure didn't spout any more.
I thought the end was going to be about how you should replace the blackouts with regular ones (or none at all) because how else would others be able to tell if you behave like a dignified person
Would it make you feel better to know that if it wasn't that it would be something else?
I have been to that general area. No one choosing to live there is sane.
I think we need to be mindful that we can't point at one media organization or "political aisle" for this type of rhetoric. @Microw@lemm.ee above encapsulates it beautifully.
The fear mongering isn't subject to particular ideologies and anyone is susceptible. These tactics are being used by nearly(edit) everyone in the political realm.
edit: just gotta say I love the downvotes with no replies. There is a middle-ground nuanced objectivity where neither "both parties are the same" or "my political side is holier than thou" apply. Go touch some grass or learn how to have an actual conversation with those you disagree with online.
The disguised "both sides" BS.
From a tankie no less.
? I stated that "both parties are the same" doesn't apply, did I need to do the "bOTh PaRtiEs aRe ThE SaME!" for the emotional to be able to read it right?
Nah.
