A 14-year-old boy allegedly fatally shot his older sister in Florida after a family argument over Christmas presents, officials said Tuesday.

The teen had been out shopping on Christmas Eve with Abrielle Baldwin, his 23-year-old sister, as well as his mother, 15-year-old brother and sister’s children, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said during a news conference.

The teenage brothers got into an argument about who was getting more Christmas presents.

“They had this family spat about who was getting what and what money was being spent on who, and they were having this big thing going on in this store,” Gualtieri said.

Bro…what??? CHAZ was literally in Seattle…

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Hill_Occupied_Protest

Tn has two areas that have a serious gang problem. From those two areas comes like 85% of its crime. Everyone carries there and it’s not the wild West like you’re trying to make it out to be.

Found the Fox News watcher.

Protip: The CHOP/CHAZ was a 3-week protest that closed a single neighborhood intersection, and ended over 3 years ago. The only people who think that it is an example of how dangerous Seattle is are people who watch right-wing news and have never set foot in Seattle…

Fox News literally reported on it as if it were another country. They referred to it as if it as the “US/CHAZ border”, and overreported about it like it was the story of the century. Spoiler: they just hate progressive cities like Seattle, and were willing to say anything that would arouse their boomer viewership.

It was basically an unauthorized block party created to stimulate an extended 2020 BLM protest.

Yes, there was some violence, but at such a small scale it had zero effect on the city’s already low violent crime rate.

But keep going about how racial justice protests make you feel unsafe…

It might have been a low crime city 30 years ago but it’s not anymore.

Also hilariously funny how you instantly think I’m a right wing repub. Keep thinking that while you argue with someone who is pro-choice, wants single payer, wants the war on drugs to end and qualified immunity repealed and also marched with the protestors during the BLM movement…but sure…keep putting your head in the sand.

If you find it frustrating that people think you’re a right winger, consider not talking like one.

The fact that you go ad hominem with every comment indicates that you are conservative and completely out of touch.

Wow, Seattle’s crime rate grew by 15% between 2019 and 2023? Wow, that’s crazy. As we all know, absolutely nothing significant has happened in the past 4 years, and the crime rate nationwide remained static. /s

I literally lived in the CHOP. My apartment was where it was founded. Just stop, other than the police abusing people and paramedics allowing people to die, nothing at all happened.

The George Floyd protests were outliers and the bigger picture shows that Tennessee is one of the most violent states in the country: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_violent_crime_rate.

Even if you look at homicides per county, violence in TN is pretty widespread: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_intentional_homicide_rate

Granted, Washington state’s homicides look fairly evenly distributed there but the worst areas are outside of Seattle. Also, based on your description of TN I’d expect it to look like Illinois where most homicides occurs in specific areas of Chicago

Memphis and Nashville… that’s where the gangs are and where the majority of the violence is. This isn’t an unknown thing. Both counties that hold those cities are have a high murder rate. This goes for basically all large cities, it shouldn’t be a surprise.

Funny how Seattle is dangerous because of BLM, and Tennessee is dangerous because of Memphis (majority Black city), and “gangs”.

I definitely see a pattern with what you consider dangerous…
