A Texas father has not been arrested and is unlikely to face charges after he beat a man to death for trying to molest his 4-year-old daughter at their rural ranch, authorities said Monday.

Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon said... the victim was a 47-year-old man from Gonazles with no apparent prior criminal history.... an "acquaintance" of the father who had come to help care for some horses...

The father called police late Saturday afternoon and told them he attacked a man caught trying to sexually assault his daughter, Harmon said. The alleged attack happened near a barn where some horses were being kept.

the 47-year-old man who was caught molesting a girl and then beaten to death by the child’s father..... Jesus Mora Flores

We need justice for folks like Jesus Mora Flores. He was just a "kid" who wanted to make this country a destination for talent and ingenuity from all over the world! I am sure Jesus Mora Flores was a hardworking, responsible young immigrant who had grown up here or received advanced degrees here; and should have been given the right to vote this November. In fact, I hope his vote is counted this election anyway, even though he is now dead, because every vote matters. Instead of being murdered Trayvon-style by this typical White person, Jesus Mora Flores should have had the chance to become an American citizens, so that he could help grow our economy and start new businesses right here instead of someplace else. I am asking Attorney General Holder to launch a Justice Dept probe into the murder of this Hispanic man, who clearly had his civil rights violated.

“A Texas father has not been arrested and is unlikely to face charges...”

Ya gotta love Texas.

Interesting thing to note, in reference to the Trayvon case: this father didn’t mean to kill the guy. He just beat him with his hands, and the guy died. No gun involved.

Even if a person doesn’t MEAN to kill you, if they start beating your head you are in danger for your life.

The eyewitness testimony that Trayvon was banging Zimmerman’s head on the concrete, coupled with the injuries to Zimmerman’s head, are all the evidence necessary to decide that Zimmerman is innocent. Doesn’t matter who started it; at that point Zimmerman’s life was in danger and lethal force was justifiable.

Seems like an update to the original story.

There should NOT be any charges against this father.
