Do you smell Eric Holder’s corrupt, foul-smelling behind trying to sneak into the fray?
Assuming it’s true that this guy was molesting the daughter, and we don’t know what exactly happened at this point, the father certainly would then have the right and the obligation to defend the daughter, and hit the predator enough to have him stop - permanently. You certainly can summarily execute a predator who is harming your child.
The prosecution has an obligation to check the story that far and verify the alleged molestation. At that point, I’m okay with a substantial reward for the good Dad.
Fk that. I don’t have an children but if I did....
The vital information that is missing are details about the dead guy. At a particular point, the police have to identify him, and can no longer say they are trying to notify his relatives.
I can imagine some interesting bits if he was a Mexican national, working illegally.
With no eye witness to dispute the father’s version of events, I vote acquittal.
Even if he tied the monster to the bumper of his truck and drove off into a pond, acquittal.
Any thing that gets sexual gratification from injuring a child deserves to die and in the most excruciatingly painful way possible.
That 'summarily' sounds a bit too rational for the moment. Yes he beat him; but when the man stopped moving; was the Father 'sure' that he had been totally stopped; that he might not revive in a moment and return to harm? At what point, could the Father be certain that he was 'stopped' absolutely.
(At what point was 'he' rational enough to give thought to this. The very act itself; would 'draw a normal Father' TO the irrational).
A man who rapes a child (and so threatens the life of this child) invites the worst. The perp should not be surprised when it shows up. He should not claim 'foul'; nor should others claim 'foul' on his behalf.
What if he wasn’t molesting his daughter and just decided to use that as his excuse for killing him for some other reason???
No bill.
Now, the possibilities that both are illegals plays into the lack of names in the story.
The bold blue is the problem. Is there any state that will take Austin and its residents off of Texas' hands?
NO cheers, unfortunately.
Luke 17:2, Mark 9:42
So far we know almost no details of the event regarding the medical examiner’s report regarding the girl or the deceased. Until then all is speculation.
Well, a lot of these points are moot, because this happened in Texas. There, he’s got so many points on his side, I doubt they will charge him with anything.
First, they have very strong self-defense protections, and this was on his property, so he gets and additional legal advantage from that fact. Even if he went beyond the scope of self-defense, he can appeal to a crime of passion defense, which Texans tend to be sympathetic too. Top that off with the fact that he killed a child molester, and there’s no way in hell he could get convicted down there, at least outside of some liberal area like Austin.
“James Harrington, director of the Texas Civil Rights Project, an Austin-based nonprofit group, questioned the father’s decision to “summarily execute” the alleged molester without due process.”
This one statement tells me that it was probably justified. The key words .... an Austin-based nonprofit group.
Texas Civil Rights Project sounds like a left wing “Criminal Rights” organization
Even a prosecutor as dumb and Thug Nazi as Angela Corey would not charge the father. Try getting re-elected as the “prosecutor who supports child molestation”
Local sentiment is he should be nominated as 'Father of the Year.'
In a somewhat similar vein remember Leon Plauche in 1984? While TV
cameras are rolling at the airport, he shot the alleged abuser while being
escorted by police?
He pled to Manslaughter and got a token sentence.
Father Who Killed Alleged Abuser on TV Avoids Jail
There is YouTube on the incident.
Freaking moron of the month award for this diatribe!
Justifiable-period.
This is a non-issue. Any real man would face prison willingly to save his child, especially his daughter, from the hands of sexually depraved monster.
No crime. Message to child molesters. Keep your rat hands off our kids, we will kill you and may get away with it.
Perfect case for jury nullification.
