Karma for hunting 🙂
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Jesus has delivered countless deer from the wickedness of Medusa ( who hunts with a bow and arrow )…
@Mitchell Ferguson if you’ve ever seen a deer get struck by an arrow… it’s a painful slow death… So even if they eat it… so what…
I can see this is the trash can of the comment section
@ShîneyGoGîrl
No worse than her morals
This chance of getting killed by lightning is slimmer than hitting the lottery. Poor girl. RIP.
You definitly can increase your chances tho
Feels like God is punishing humanity.
no, it’s just life.
punishing wyyte pipo
RIP
first
so pity this little girl
Which brings us to a warning the news should have mentioned, DO NOT stand near trees in the rain. It may become a lightning rod. Smh
I didn’t know that, I though it will be a protection. So sad. Peace for her parents specially her dad. I can’t imagine.
lightning rods conduct electricity. trees don’t conduct electricity. they get hit and burn. it actually is safe near a tree since the tree will take the hit before you. It will not shoot out from the tree upon you. If a tree does get hit run away from the tree. If anything a tree is a giant resistor.
@writerconsidered You’re leaving out the entire fact of *THE RAIN*.. Water conducts electricity. A *WET* tree will transfer electricity and if you think you can outrun lightning then you have a bigger issue lol … so again, STAY AWAY FROM TREES IN THE RAIN. It’s always been common knowledge.
Horrible sad. Oh my god
Aliens created. Any thing. Human tree monkey snake whale ….
Lol she should of ran what a dumb girl
This is why you need to seek shelter when there are major storms or lightning in the vicinity. I blame the dad on this one but it was here choice too. RIP.
I don’t believe it was her choice. I’ve been in a similar situation. But I do think it was the dad’s fault, I’ve been in a similar risky situation with dad and older men. It Feels like the stream of the same problem is on purpose.
@zcmbSTOP IT
WHY BE SO COLD
HER DAD IS ALREADY HURT BEYOND BELIEF 😮
I’m terrified of lightning. I was walking home from work during a lightning storm one night and I was SO SCARED I literally ran all the way.
Shocking…
Live in the sky angel 😢
Rest in peace little sister!!!😭🙏💔
Godless the fam unreal jo biden instead!!!!!!!
Florida. Not even once…
She must have been such a nice person; the photograph of a dead crocodile certainly proves it.
She loved Jesus and killing crocodiles
Alligator probably. People eat them. Very delicious. Like steak.
Good on her. Some gator just ate a woman in Florida.
RIP
Hunting during/near a storm. Good parenting. Lighting can strike up to 15 miles away.
The cautious live and the careless die. Nature’s law.
🌹🌹🌹 Rest in Peace 🌹🌹🌹
🌹🌹🌹🌹 Bailey 🌹🌹🌹🌹
🌹🌹🌹🌹 ♥️🕊️♥️🌹🌹🌹🌹
Greatly Loved Sadly Missed
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
“She loved jesus” Only the good die young in murica meanwhile you got Biden 80 years old still sapping the life blood out of the country
Shocking⚡
Karma is a bi**h! Shouldn’t be killing animals.
How very Kind and Compassionate of you.
Karma doesn’t exist you goon 😂
@J. Stevens neither does god
@Larry5200 the same amount of compassion she had apparently
Yeah… all that prayer really paid off eh?
Poor girl, science saves lives. If there’s lighting, you need to get inside. Or at least away from potential grounding points. Just sad.
Well, Jesus killed her! Well done Jesus 😂
Sick sob.
If that was me, I take one to get one.
Such a beautiful smile
Just like Dracula 😂
@Ivanka Edinger Uhm… for the meat?
@🔥 Xane Dragon⚡️
Yeah, I see the resemblance …. blood thirsty 🧛♀️
@Robert Moss yeah you think they cooked up that alligator and ate it? Get real. Its all an ego trip. She went hunting and so did thor apparently
@MJW173 Any gator that is over 10 feet legally needs to be killed. You can not tame such a powerful beast and they belong no place near humans.
The animals that she made suffer in great pain until their death were quoted as saying, “Haaaaaaaaa”
@Ivanka Edinger
Exactly. Nature got revenge in the end ⚡️
@Robert Moss People who have to hunt to eat don’t pose for pictures, they say a prayer for the animal’s soul. Killing animals for ego isn’t absolved by saying “I love Jesus.”
@ivankaedinger3631 I know I would have starved without meat and I grew up rather poor. Not no more.. I have a brand new Chevy Camaro … I still don’t believe in a vegan diet
you think she ate that whole alligator? @Robert Moss
@Robert MossHer life wasn’t hard. You have choices in life especially her. This kid and her family weren’t from a third world country. She chose murder and fear to lead her life and that is how she was taken out. I guess we can say that’s life…
Hunting is a cruel activity. Karma will come back to bite.
AWWW SHE LOVED THE LORD JESUS WITH ALL HER HEART❤❤❤ THAT’S AWESOME, I CAN’T WAIT TO MEET YOU IN HEAVEN SOMEDAY BAILEY!!! BAILEY FAMILY AND FRIENDS, I’M SORRY FOR YOUR SUDDEN LOSS, BUT BELIEVE ME THAT BAILEY IS IN THE MOST INCREDIBLE AND HAPPY PLACE NOW AND SHE’S LOVING EVERY SECOND IN THE PRESENCE OF THE GOOD LORD JESUS, HANG TIGHT, STAY STRONG, I PRAY THE LORD HELP YOU ENDURE THIS SUDDEN LOSS, BUT KNOW BAILEY LOVES YOU AND SHE WANTS YOU TO LOVE JESUS THE WAY SHE EXEMPLIFIED HIM IN HER LIFE TO YOU, SO HONOR HER MEMORY AND FOLLOW AFTER HER HEART, SEEK THE HEART OF JESUS!! ❤❤❤
No thanks, already had him
⚛️
As if you didn’t sound crazy enough already you had to seal the deal with the caps lock.
People are always sure if you good and die you go straight up to be with God and Jesus in Heaven that is unproven at best
This brought tears
She loved Jesus
She is in good hands
jesus didn’t love her apparently lol
@Isabela Mogosanu
🤣
hahaha nature got to her 🤣
Don’t hunt for pleasure. Please.
She was hunted by Zeus
It seems we have people who enjoy death in these comments and are liking what happens to this person here
We are hunter gatherers. Hunting is in our DNA. We should only hunt for what we need and we should never hunt endangered animals. But hunting plentiful animals are fine. We should eat everything we hunt. My guess in a blind they were hunting deer. I’m fine with that. And yes for hunters it is pleasurable to hunt and there is nothing wrong with that.
@writerconsidered Eating flesh in God’s image is forbidden. Imagine God takes away earth water time sun your vessel when one disobeys the ten commandments as commanded. Killing is forbidden. Humans can want everything but if God doesn’t want it it doesn’t matter what a human wants. Humans have wiped themselves out three times now.
Her method of hunting, using a high tech bow and arrow, is cruel and abhorrent. I’m sorry she is dead, because someone had yet to teach her to respect wildlife, not slaughter them with slow painful deaths.
Well she loved Jesus and killing so much. And now she is with Jesus.
A father and his baby was killed here in Texas last year , he was killed rat off the bat and the baby lived for about a month in the hospital. The baby was unconscious the whole time
Praying for the family and friends
Zeus
Sad…
I wish stuff like this would happen to Trump.
sky worshippers are good at 1 thing, disappearing themselves. Sad that kids are taught about a sky wizard instead of basic safety. Cons HATE CHILDREN, her mother was def excited that she gets to go to “heaven” quicker
😂😂😂😂 karma
I sure hope she hunted for food and not just for the fun of killing animals 🙄
God called her home.
1 less potential democrat
Every death is tragic, but how is this worthy of national news?
She was struck by lightning. The odds of that happening used to seem like a 1 in 15,000 odds. But I think it’s more frequently occuring these days. But as for deaths r always happening ur right and I agree. But I think it’s more Abt because of how she died. News wants to keep ppl n fear so they have to spread the word of dying all the time.
😂😂😂😂
karma. If you like killing things for fun how are you gonna be mad when god does the same?
Payback for all the animals she killed for fun.
Some would call it karma…
Anyone who is calling this karma is simply heartless. Show some respect
She wanna to meet Zeus!!😅
Your obnoxious joke won’t save lives
I feel terrible for her Dad. He awoke to find her badly hurt. He was just being a Southern Dad showing his Daughter how to Survive by hunting just in case. Get off his back. (Texan)
Rofl country boy can survive. Country girls get killed by lightning 😂
Horrible. Such a long, happy life in front of her.
I’m terrified of lightning.
When the fruit is ripe the Lord will pick it
Hmmm. No comment.
So sad. God bless her family and friends. 🙏 💖 🌹
Because the iPhone attracts the lightning 😳😳
HUNTER “Grilled” Young Girl
⚡🌚😁🤣
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA KAREN KILLED ANIMALS and DIED BY LIGHTNING HAHAHAHHAHAHA
Military industrial complex target practice
She used to torture and hunt animals for fun
This young girl went hunting with the most cruel weapon—a tech bow— that slowly kills the animal. She unfortunately is dead so she will never be aware of the suffering she caused. I’m sorry for her death, because hunters usually come to term with their cruelty toward wildlife at some point in life. She won’t ever have that opportunity.
Don’t hunt animals guys, it’s bad karma
She must’ve done something god really didn’t like.
Rip and to all you insensitive creeps on here be glad its not ur family u can be struck by lightning anywhere
R.I.P to the alligator she killed…
hahahaha she’s gone and thor got the best of her!!!!! and hunting for wild animals is a sin!!!
So tragic how could they have ever predicted that lighting would strike 🙁
They say she loved Jesus, She’s now forever happy in heaven with our loving Savior! 🙌🏽💜
Rest in peace young girl 🙏🙏🙏.
Bruhh.. What kind of parent is this, that teach a daughter to go hunt during rain.🤔
Hahaha
No way zues just killed a teen RIP
