Easy. It’s in Texas.

Brings to an interesting story (about Texas).

A man had his daughter sexually assaulted.

The man tracked down the person who did it and killed him.

When the man went to trial (for killing the rapist), he used a Texas law that says Some People Just Need To Be Killed. as his defense.

He was acquitted/let go based on that defense: some people just need to be killed.

I guess this guy thought that he needed to kill himself...

Yeah, we (Texas) got rid of the “needed killin’” defense in the mid-60s. Too bad, really...
