    I get that it was not intentional… but it’s still homicide (I guess; in Spain it’s that way if it was an accident).

      That’s normally what the charge of “manslaughter” is supposed to be used for in the courts. Murder would be with intent, manslaughter is any other act with deadly consequence.

      Why that didn’t happen in this case is beyond me.

        There’s a whole list of charges below murder. Even “criminal negligence” FFS. That he wasn’t charged with something is ridiculous.

      If it truly weren’t intentional (which it probably was, a Glock doesn’t just “go off” for no reason, as I understand), it would still be considered “manslaughter” here. He should’ve been indicted. This is insanity.

          As someone who absolutely loved Archer, I have to recommend Hit-Monkey.

          Now, I know people are sick of Marvel, but Hit-Monkey is BARELY Marvel. Especially season 1.

          It’s animated by Floyd County Productions, same people who did Archer, and as for the plot, imagine that Archer were an assassin instead of a spy and that he were voiced by Jason Sudeikis instead of H Jon Benjamin and that he ends up as a ghost mentor for a monkey.

          It’s fantastic. I binged the whole thing in two days this past week.

                “'memba”, or “remember that thing” moments are when they shoe horn cameos from other franchise characters or into the show, or the writers add dialogue referencing events in the universe and the audience goes “yes! I know that character” or “hey, I know that other show!”. Disney’s star wars is notoriously bad at it, and so is the MCU to a slightly lesser degree. It’s off putting and very low-brow, breaking the flow of a plot by introducing a very obvious fan service element.

                If you are not misinterpreting it, I’m glad to hear.

                  So there are other super-powered characters who show up, but none that I recognized. They all seem appropriate to the show. They could be from some Marvel comic, but they’re very much there to be part of this story.

      It’s impossible for this to be unintentional, or it’s so negligent that there’s no difference. Guns do not just go off, and Glocks require an intentional trigger pull.

      There’s absolutely zero chance it wasn’t intentional.

      Dude was drunk and angry and shot her, and then immediately afterwards started feeling regret so he did what literally all reich-wingers do and refused to take responsibility for what he did
