It may very well be. This isn't the aberration it might seem. Self defense laws don't just apply to using guns, and they allow you to defend someone else, especially your child.
It matters that he caught the guy in the act and the force was used to stop the assault. It’s not like he hunted the guy down and killed him in revenge. That probably wouldn’t have flown, even in Texas.
And think of all the money the county saved on a trial- that would certainly have ended in an aquittal. They’d never find a jury to convict the father of any wrongdoing in this matter.
This is how it should be everywhere in America.
“The incident took place on June 9th near Shiner, Texas.”
It sounds like the father gave this scumbag a lot more than a shiner. God Bless Texas.
What- no medal?
GOOD for the grand jury!!! The system worked right i this case.
Born and raised in New York City. Spent almost all of my adult life in New England. Spent a couple of years in Texas at Fort Hood. So why do I miss Texas so damn much?
Perfect! Very nicely played. They should have a special Oscar for this guy.

There’s a saying down here you may have heard: “Texas is a state of mind.” Evidently you were here long enough to experience it.
And please, if you get a chance, come back for good. We need more people like you.
Since 2001. Wow, are you clairvoyant, or what?!
<< and youll have this Arizonan standing with you to defend Texas against these Commie traitors. >>
Thanks! And likewise, here. Let’s hope all the unconstitutional nonsense doesn’t get that far, eh? It’s interesting to be living through such a pivotal time in our nation’s history, but i could definitely live without it.
Good law
And it can’t be to soon.
Took me a second to realize what you were referring to. :)
I’ve been using “Barak” as a screen name for about twenty years- it’s a reference to a character in a series of novels who sometimes turns into a bear (I’m a large, bearish man, according to some).
Back to the subject at hand- I had a vision last of night of what would happen the first day of trial if this man was charged-
Prosecutor (opening statement)- This man caught someone attempting to molest his 5 year old daughter-
Jury- (in unison) NOT GUILTY!
LOL! Well, let us know if you have any visions of our Dear Leader being led away in chains for treason. And if you have any control over the vision, please throw Holder and Ayers and Jarrett in for good measure. :-)
