Sad, we can’t protect our homes now
You can protect your home. You cannot carry out a thrill killing and expect to get away with it.
lol not the clapping
Scary times. Everyone strapped and ready.
He looks exactly like the kind of person that would do such a thing. But seriously, these things don’t happen in a void. There is a certain culture built around fear and paranoia, self defense and “standing your ground” at any cost, which unfortunately can lead to dire consequences when embraced by deranged individuals. I can 100% guarantee you that not only is he sure he did nothing wrong, there are a bunch of people out there that think this is a miscarriage of justice and they’d have done the same.
i’d like to know more about this, like what kind of property did he live on? does “drive” mean 20ft of concrete in front of his house or half a mile of country road? why did they pull onto his drive in the first place? was he alone? how many friends did she have and how many were male? none of that would excuse what he did but it can help someone avoid this situation in future and that’s more important.
Kevin Monahan, 66, was convicted of second-degree murder in the death last April of Kaylin Gillis. Gillis was riding in a caravan of two cars and a motorcycle that pulled into Monahan’s long, winding driveway in the town of Hebron while her friends were looking for a party at another person’s house.
Garbage. You are just trying to find excuses to let this cold-blooded murder off the hook. The comment about her friends is truly nauseating.
@@WillyLee23 now it’s starting to sound less clean cut. could have been at least 10 people there, coming up to his isolated home. but why not have a gate? was the “party at another persons house” story checked out?
This guy dont get amazon packages? 😢smh
I feel a little sad for the guy. Have a country, make everyone scared of everyone else, get them paranoid, and then hand out guns like they are candy, then sit back and watch the resulting chaos. America? No thanks.
Someone can be in your back yard, you just cant murder them. What an A$$hole
I see they finally caught and locked up the Joker! 🃏
Guns empower the crazy, The U.S is full of Crazy
another normal crazy day in usa
Trumper written all over him.
a country full of guns….with trigger happy maniacs….and with open driveways….what could go wrong? lt is strange, because on the other side of the pond, we don’t have so many trigger happy maniacs and the vast majority of standalone residential structures are walled and gated
While I’d have to agree that this is self defense, (She entered his private property), the immediate use of force is what I’m on the fence about. Sure, she wasn’t a threat, but she could have been, and he decided to preemptively defend himself.
What an entitled creep.
With gun laws this wouldn’t happened
Who cares about the Wannabees blasting Rap in their car in the driveway. Monahan showed them the reality of those lyrics.
A lifetime of privilege and a FALSE sense of superiority/ entitlement breeds these animals…
Some people shouldn’t have guns.
Served!
It’s amazing you can be a cold-blooded murderer and purposefully murder an innocent woman and you only get 25 years
Now he can live a house with no road no traffic.no cars
No more mr thought guy in the neighbourhood.
Male Karen with a gun
I dont get it. People are given sentences but always released eaely. Really early in some cases. Why?
Don’t drop the soap!
Guns should be banned.
Having that kind of irrational anger is incomprehensible. Some people just want a reason to hurt people.
And this is your standard law abiding gun owner.
Tell me how a good guy with a gun could have stopped this ?
Justice prevails.
Can’t use cop excuses like ‘I felt threatened!’ when you’re not a cop, buddy
He should be sentenced to listen to Joe Biden talk for an hour….
Woo!
what a coward
I know who he votes for
this sentence will seriously effect his motocross riding.
Murica unbeliveable in most other countrys
That’s what happens when you have a country filled with guns
He’s probably got some girl guides buried in the yard that were just trying to sell cookies.
Should have a miserable time in prison
Could only happen in the US. One f#*ked up country
Americaaaa. Guns…. bla bla
How do you feel justified in doing something that you repeatedly lied about, pick a struggle. He’ll have plenty of time to get it together.🤡
well this is the kind of environment that America created for their people.
Insanity
Mental patient
If he was black, he would be free and no jail time.
People wonder why i don’t turn around in random driveways. I’ll drive miles if i have to for a side street.
This bloke is apparently 66 years old. Perhaps never been in trouble with the law previously. So the gun-lovers would describe him as “a good man with a gun”. That’s always the case… until one day it’s not. If he’d not had a weapon “for protection” or some such BS, he may have yelled at the lady, instead of killing her.
We have strict gun laws in Australia, yet we don’t live in terror of “bad guys with guns” killing us. And our death rate from firearms is a small fraction of that in the US. *Gun-loving Yanks live with a “suspension of disbelief”.*
America where shootings is part of life now
My friend and i got followed by a nut with a gun 4 using his driveway but his jeep couldnt catch our camaro lol
Probably a Trump supporter
Americans live a life of fear but they’ve got guns so that means they are free. I’ve touch wood never known fear and I’ve not even been in the same room as a gun in 43 years of living.
Actually that is not entirely true, I was scared on my first visit to the states, just two weeks before we went an engineer my family had a remote link to was gunned down in Florida when he got lost and stopped to ask for directions. We were a little paranoid about that, moral of the story Americans place zero value on life so be very careful.
This dude is literately every gun nut..
Republican values.
Caveman impersonating an intelligent human being…
this is why I don’t pull into driveways, I just go around the block. nut jobs like this exist.
The girls father I thought was a sheriff
This man is the perfect example of when your ego is bigger than your intelligence and empathy.
😂😂😂😂
Thought he was gonna get away like his ANCESTORS
Wow. What a disgraceful country you live in. This happens nowhere else in the world.
He Watched too much Faux News
Spreading Fear. 🤷♀️🤦🏻♀️
2A murders another innocent
My drunk friend walked into the wrong house and slept on the couch. Owners didn’t realize until next day. No gun pulled 🤷🏻♂️
NRA BS
I’ve been following this case. This guy truly believed that what he did wasn’t a big deal and that he should be allowed to get back to his life as if nothing happened.
paranoia strikes deep… into your lives it will creep….

What a POS over pulling into his stupid driveway
Shooting and killing an innocent person because she got lost and used your driveway to turn around. Unbelievable. Anyway, at his age that is essentially a life sentence. That is if the other prisoners don’t get ahold of him first.
“Standing his ground”
To all the 2nd Amendmenter gun nuts who defended his action, you a bunch of dumbasses.
I’ve driven into so many driveways to just turn around. And seeing something like this makes me not want to do that anymore. Imagine you pull into some lunatics driveway and he comes out guns a blazing just because you’re on his property for a few seconds. So dumb.
Good thing NY isn’t a “stand your ground” state!
The usual psyop.
Total fascist sociopath. I bet any amount of anything; he’s a MAGAt. ..
Rent free
“Buzzword, buzzword, buzzword, I bet he’s %someome_I_was_told_to_hate_by_corpo_overlords%”
That is what you get with your so called amendment and the right to defend ?! People believe, because there is that amendment they are entitled to use the gun at ANY time when THEY believe they have all the right just because they have the right to carry a gun !
NOT HIS PROPERTY ANYMORE !!😳👀🤪😎👌
Why shoot at them? Was he terrified by them? Was he just being a soft spoiled self indulgent emtitled white man needing to show someone / anyone that he’s the boss of his little world ?
I know, great reporting.
well he state property for the next 25 plus years no longer name good for him.
Textbook example of a man who had never faced a consequence for any of his actions. He will believe he was justified until the day he dies.
Aah the the United States of sillyness still enjoy their gunlaws i see 🥱
i guarantee this person would have voted for trump
Nice all these guns in the US.
So they guys excuse for shooting was like but but but I was defending my home, home defence. No you just had a nice gun and couldn’t wait to find the silliest excuse to shoot it and claim victim.
WHAT DO THEY EXPECT , ITS THE USA ?
WHAT A COWARD!!!!
Is that 25 years without parole?
Another stand your ground MAGA minuteman wannabe.
Castle doctrine psychos
Thanks, Fox news brainwashing!
“stupid people with guns”
Thank god I dont live in the US.
Bro’s going to have 25 years to learn the true nature of fear.
Everyone watches TV. The gun manufacturers should pay for information commercials on gun laws. That guy thought what he did was legal.
That´s why everyone needs a Cybertruck. So you can not be shoot by a psychopath when doing a wrong turn. And when everyone has a Cybertruck, all the good guys need a anti tank rifle, to shot at robbers using Cybertrucks.
Sure there might be some psychopaths using anti tank rifles as well, but innocent people should buy main battle tanks to… wait.
Oh thank God I am living in Europe. Most dangerous item in my house is a kitchen knife.
So what was his deal… was he like sitting on the porch with a gun just waiting for the opportunity??
no stop signs with text like : STOP : GO ANY FURTHER AND YOU WILL BE SHOT!: or something? one would think that’ll work right.. right…
Hopefully America learns one day…
Only in America
This is why the US needs a long, hard look at it’s gun laws. There are too many individuals, like this little angry man, who have access to firearms.
Only in America. So many guns and a fear mongering (profit-oriented) news media – is a bad mix.
