Charges: Man Pointed AK-47 At Daughter Over Grades
ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) – A 51-year-old St. Paul man is accused of pointing an AK-47 assault rifle at his daughter after the two argued about her grades in school, according to charges filed Friday in Ramsey County Court.
Kirill Bartashevitch was charged with two felony counts of terroristic threats in connection with the Jan. 13 incident.
According to the complaint, St. Paul Police responded to St. Paul Central High School on Jan. 17 after a report of an assault against a 15-year-old female student. A social worker at the school had received a report from a parent who had been monitoring her son’s electronic communications. The communications showed that Bartashevitch had sent the son a message that he had pointed an AK-47 rifle at the girl.
The complaint states that the girl and Bartashevitch were arguing at their residence on Jan. 13 about her grades in school. She was getting two Bs in school instead of two As. He swore at the girl, who then told him she hated him, and he grabbed a recently purchased AK-47 and pointed it at her.
According to the complaint, he bought the rifle because he knew it would soon be banned. The girl’s mother jumped between them when he pointed the gun, and the girl was eventually ordered to go to her room by Bartashevitch.
The girl’s mother told police that when she intervened, Bartasevitch threw her to the floor and that he pointed the gun at both of them, the complaint states.
On Jan. 24, police conducted a search warrant of his home and found 9mm ammunition and receipts for the purchases of two rifles.

As in buying the damn guns cuz you think Obama's gon take it away. :|
On some level, it is morbidly funny, because his parental frustration is obvious, but sorry son, you do not get to point guns at people, especially your own kids and wife, especially over some fucking grades. He pushed his wife, too? And the whole "I'd better stock up before Obummer bans them" thing is so damn paranoid and dumb as shit.
*instead of As, which is still not bad, and shit, sometimes things happen in class, and I'd lay bet that a considerable amount of any stress that caused issues at school is because of her fucking father.
And no surprise, who are most negatively affected by guns in the home? Women.
From one study:
Whereas most men are murdered away from home, most children, older adults, and women are murdered at home. A gun in the home is a particularly strong risk factor for female homicide victimization. Women in the United States are at far greater risk of homicide victimization than women in other developed countries, and the greatest danger for women in homicides that occur in the home comes from their intimate partners— especially partners with guns.
The presence of a gun makes quarrels, disputes, assaults, and robberies more deadly. Many murders are committed in a moment of rage. For example, a large percentage of homicides—and especially homicides in the home—occur during altercations over matters such as love, money, and domestic problems, involving acquaintances, neighbors, lovers, and family members; often the assailant or victim has been drinking. Only a small minority of homicides appear to be the carefully planned acts of individuals with a single-minded intention to kill. Most gun killings are indistinguishable from nonfatal gun shootings; it is just a question of the caliber of the gun, whether a vital organ is hit, and how much time passes before medical treatment arrives.
I am literally agape and motherfucking APPALLED. Wow.
Can you imagine if this girl is eventually sent back to live with him after all this online notoriety? Omfg. >:E This makes me so fucking ANGRY. So. Fucking. ANGRY.
Oh my god. And the worst part is that I can see the same people that were all "you go, dude!" over that dad that humiliated his daughter over the laptop will think this guy is giving her "tough love" or what-the-fuck ever.
Honestly can't say this surprises me at all...
gross
:( :( :(
I can't even articulate all the levels of dnw and disgust I feel right now. I hope that guy is locked the fuck up.
He's not someone who listens to people. He just talks over them. I ignore him until he stops. He keeps trying to bait me into political discussions and there's no way it will end well. I play anti gun control bingo in my head while he rants.
In prison
As a parent, I understand being frustrated over your kids grades, but seriously, you take away their phone or the wii and make them do their damn homework. You don't aim a gun at them.
What an asshole.
