According to the police report, the girl’s mother brought the child to the apartment complex to do a woman’s hair.
The report said a man made an advance on another woman, got into an altercation, and opened fire into a car with the child and her mother inside.
“He can’t handle his rage. He can’t handle his anger,” parent Dineshia Smith said.
“You know that little girl is fighting for her life right now just because a young man doesn’t know how to take rejection,” Sledge said
Oh he handled his rage exactly how he wanted to. It was not out of control. It was very well controlled. He did not shoot a random child or himself, and because he didn’t want to. He controlled his rage and aimed it at the daughter of the woman he felt entitled to. It was not the rejection that hurt the girl. It was the man. The man decided the punishment for disobedience was the death (which was his intent if not yet the outcome) of the most loved person to this woman.
This is not a loss of control. This is exacting control.
And this is a perfect example of how all men benefit from women’s reinforced fear of being hurt, or having their loved ones hurt, if they say no. Now this attempted murder has entered our collective consciousness, and women will hesitate a little longer, cringe back their instinct to resist, and acquiesce when a man pressures her, because the punishment for saying no is having your daughter shot. This is how patriarchy functions as terrorism.
