Thomas Coy, is a Crazy Loon - that just needs to be taken out of Society and locked up for life.
The death penalty would be too kind. He needs to rot
Why would anyone do something like this? What is the purpose? Did he think she was trespassing on his property?
64 years old this dumb piece of shit has never made a good decision, look him and his son up on case net.
I didn’t know that a pellet gun had that much power.
There are some powerful pellet rifles. There's .22 caliber pellets that are like a .22 rifle. Pumped or powered with CO2 they could easily kill someone.
They're not cheap. A lot of them are used in shooting competitions. I'm guessing that she has her window down because I don't think it would be able to penetrate the window and still have enough power to kill her.
