An Oklahoma man who was doing target practice in his backyard on Christmas is believed to have shot and killed an elderly woman a few blocks from his home, authorities said.

Cody Wayne Adams, 33, has been charged with first-degree manslaughter in connection with the deadly shooting, court filings show.

The victim was on a covered front porch with family members at a residence in Comanche when she was shot Thursday afternoon, according to the probable cause affidavit. She was holding a baby in her left arm while seated on a love seat when she was struck in her right upper arm, according to the affidavit. The bullet then entered her chest cavity, it said.

  • If the polive was actually useful, then maybe getting rid of guns could be a good thing.

    But as an Asian American. I know about the Korean Americans during LA Riots who had to protect their stores by themselves because the authorities didn’t give a shit.

    Asian Diaspora are one of the most vulnerable groups. Because a lot of us have successful bussinesses and racists are jealous and like to target us.

    So I’d prefer well regulated militias than police. Especially in the context of America where cops are horrible.

      The well regulated militia is now ICE. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

        Ice is a government policing agency following federal orders. Not sure if I would call them “well regulated” or a militia. They’re just the strong arm of authoritarianism, a special police force. Hell really its just the same old police force with new directives.

          I think perhaps you’re missing the point. There is no well-regulated militia; the National Guard is supposed to be that entity.

          As it stands, there is only ICE at the moment and we can all see their atrocities.

            Some states do have active Militias last time I checked, and of course there are some weird fringe militias. ICE has government leadership and pay checks, they are the government.

              The National Guard is a state organization that can be LEGALLY activated at a federal level.

                Right and national guards don’t carry badges and enforce domestic laws do they. Im just saying ICE aint a militia and damn sure aint the military, it’s a federal police force enforcing federal laws. This is important when it comes time to pay for their crimes. Their superiors are your elected officials. They are not citizens acting in support of the military. They are domestic police force.

                  I feel like you’re thinking I’m defending these cunts when I’m not.

                  I’m saying the entire system has been subverted. It doesn’t work the way as intended because there are no consequences for breaking or ignoring laws/the system.

                    Oh have some faith son, once they’ve starved enough people they will become accountable to the angry mob. Sad thing to have to see, but a tale as old as time. Sic semper tyrannis.
