Two weeks ago, the world learned that Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star June Shannon is dating a convicted child molester named Mark McDaniel.
The situation soon got even uglier, as it was revealed that McDaniel molested Anna Shannon – June’s daughter who was only 8 years old at the time.
You might think it couldn’t get any worse than that, but somehow the awful revelations just keep on coming for the former TLC stars (the show has been axed).
Yesterday, for example, we learned that June stole from Anna to buy a car for McDaniel.
So perhaps it’s not surprising that Anna Shannon’s husband, Michael Cardwell.might be inclined to react violently if he ever crosses paths with McDaniel.
“Michael would probably kill him, I know Michael,” Anna said when asked about McDaniel in a recent interview. “He always has a gun on him, because you never know what might happen.”
While it would certainly be satisfying to see someone kick the crap out of McDaniel, full-blown murder might be going a bit too far.
Besides, Anna’s husband going to prison and leaving her to raise their daughter be herself would be, like, the saddest possible ending for this story.
That said, McDaniel definitely got off way too easy, and some sort of backwoods justice might be in order.
“If [McDaniel] would’ve went to trial, he would’ve gotten 35 years to life,” Anna said recently.
Instead, he served only ten years, and there’s nothing in the terms of his parole that prevents him from spending time with young children, such as June’s 9-year-old daughter, Alana.
Come to think of it, we’re not sure if a court in the land would convict Michael Cardwell for doing what he felt was necessary. Have at it, Hoss!
