The trouble is, “due process” has been twisted to the point where it rarely gets the job done anymore, and these animals just keep getting off with either nothing or just a few months in jail, and go right back out and do it again. I agree that due process is how it SHOULD work, but until our justice system goes back to being serious about convicting dangerous criminals AND keeping them locked up after they’re convicted, vigilante justice is the only effective route available.

The issue is not due process, but what process is “due”. The procriminal, antipunishment liberals have ruined the judicial system, partly by making the “process” unworkable. It cannot be relied on, nor can the police. Prattling on about “due process” and “rule of law” when we have virtually lawless government at every level and a dysfunctional judicial system is worse than naive.

If this father caught the perp in the act or saw him in the act, he did us all a favor. My point, however, is broader than this one case. You can’t expect people to rely for justice on a system that doesn’t work or that has redefined evil as “good”.

I know of TWO cases of accused child molesting in my family alone that were wrong! Both a brother and a brother-in-law were falsely accused and later released. Both little girls lying about the molestations...to protect their respective FATHERS who were actually the molesters!

Good thing both my brother and brother-in-law are big guys that could well defend themselves in jail.

I can’t believe the comments on this thread that support vigilantyism! (is that a word?)
