A man stumbles on a man molesting his daughter, kills him

[JonnyPistachio]

...with his bare hands.
This might be one of those times, the law doesnt apply. Watch the video in this CNN link, the town sheriff cant even keep straight when asked if the father should be charged.

Unfortunelty you have to watch your children constantly. The man was defending his daughter. I would understand his rage completely.

"Asked whether they would press charges against the father, the sheriff responded, "You have a right to defend your daughter. He acted in defense of his third person. Once the investigation is completed we will submit it to the district attorney who then submits it to the grand jury, who will decide if they will indict him."

what would you have done?

I'm kind of for this kind of justice ... it feels real and right

[JonnyPistachio]

what would you have done?

I would've probably done the same thing. Its hard to say though, until you're in that situation, I suppose.
But now that I've thought about it, I'd rather beat the guy to a pulp...an absolute pulp, and let him live. But I cant imagine the fury and how difficult it would be to hold back while I was pummeling him.

i can imagine that he didn't really mean to kill him
but he was so angry and shocked that he just kept hitting him
the amount of pure energy that must have instantaneously built inside him when he came across this must have been phenomenal

heard about this today on the radio. Yikes.


good for the dad. I don't envy those making the decision here. If there is a stroke of luck in the situation, it happened in Texas. I highly doubt there will be charges.

Anyone think he should be charged with manslaughter/murder?

Heard about this earlier, and vehemently applaud the father.

Four-year-old little girl being mauled by some sick fuck?

Yeah, I think I'd have done the same.

I've found that paternal instincts are very strong and instinctive, and one's strength must be vastly increased in this case. I don't think the guy could've helped himself.

Anyways, he obviously should not be charged with anything. Maybe there should be some investigation to make sure the events really happened that way, but that's about it.

This is horrible. The pain the family will feel for the rest of their lives...

The molester only experienced pain for a short while before his death. He was let off easy.

I agree with this. Investigate and make sure it is understood (as much as it can be) that nothing is fishy and this is what happened and then give the dad an award for father of the year and give his poor daughter some counseling for having this happen to her and then watching her father beat the guy to death.

i agree with all of you.

and i hope it hurt.

You hope it hurts that you agree with all of us? ha, just kiddin..
That's why I suggested the molester live, so it can hurt for a lot longer.

[Flagg]

I have a daughter. I would do the same thing.

No way he is indicted. If he is, there better be a bigger outcry about than there was for Treyvon Martin.

[WaveCameCrashin]

Any father would have done this. Hell I would have done it to save a complete strangers son or daughter. Not to mention the fact that by doing what he did he probably saved a life or two. INO I think all convicted pedophiles should get the death penalty. Bcos in almost every case they end up hurting or killing another kid. These people cannot be rehabilitated.
