In a terrifying scene devoid of fatherly love and humanity, an Iraqi father recorded a video that deeply affected the emotions of Iraqis on social media, showing him aiming a weapon at his daughter's face in front of millions. The man informed his followers that he would present an entertaining performance, describing it as a "small event," showcasing his sniping skills. He asked his daughter to hold a glass jar in her mouth without moving, then pulled the trigger of the Kalashnikov, hitting the jar from a distance of just a few meters.
**Unethical behavior promoting chaos**
The video spread widely, provoking a wave of outrage as activists expressed their anger over this behavior, considering it a blatant attempt at murder. They argued that it promotes unethical behavior and reflects a state of unconsciousness and chaos resulting from a lack of upbringing and the absence of security deterrence.
Furthermore, Iraqi journalists and human rights activists launched hashtags and urgent calls demanding that security authorities and the Iraqi Ministry of Interior quickly arrest this individual, whom they described as heartless. They deemed that his actions towards his daughter indicate a complete lack of emotion and parental instinct, even if the shot was not real and the video was meant as a joke, it does not excuse his actions or the terror he inflicted on the child.
**Disregard for community security and frightening children**
In this context, activists mounted a fierce attack on the prevalence of such actions that terrorize people, stemming from this individual's possession of an unlicensed weapon and his dismissal of community security and laws without fear or restraint. Activist Essam Al-Asadi emphasized the necessity of imposing the strictest penalties on this man, calling on security and human rights entities to intervene for his arrest and to ensure that such sick behaviors do not recur.
He also urged that limits be placed on those who exploit social media platforms to intimidate people and frighten children as a means to achieve fame and increase their follower count. Ibrahim Abbas noted that even if the individual's intention was to capture followers' attention with a sniping trick, he deserves legal accountability for weapon possession and for disregarding the life of a child while shocking the feelings of the public with such a horrific scene.
