A dad walked into a Minnesota police station "covered in blood" and told police he beat a man with a shovel 15 to 20 times and "finished him off" with a moose antler, according to court documents.
The suspect, Levi Axtell, 27, was taken into custody and arraigned Friday on a second-degree murder charge in the death of 77-year-old Lawrence V. Scully, who was convicted of molesting a 6-year-old girl in 1979.

Shoving the moose antler up his ass would have been a nice touch also. Maybe just before the woodchipper.
You don’t understand. Jury nullification.
Justifiable homicide. Besides, a parent will go to great lengths to protect his/her child.
Pin a medal on that Dad!!!!!
Was it one of those dreaded ‘Assault Antlers’?
Apparently, Free Republic is comprised of people who firmly believe in Constitutional conservatism, except when the circumstances are inconvenient.
At least they don’t swing the other way and treat the murder victim (pedo) as presidential material.

4RUNNER you said... “You think it’s okay for you to take a 77-year-old’s life after you’ve decided he might be thinking of committing a crime, but he just hadn’t gotten around to doing it yet? You’re okay with that?”
He was convicted in 1979 of molesting a 6 year old... would be better if this article was 44 years old.
What does the moose ‘’community’’ have to say?
