Dad beats daughter’s alleged molester to death
Houston Chronicle ^ | June 11, 2012

Posted on 06/11/2012 10:23:24 AM PDT by BradtotheBone

A father who said he saw a man molesting his 4-year-old daughter behind a barn in Lavaca County apparently beat the man to death Saturday afternoon, officials said.

The death occurred about 3:45 p.m. at a horse barn along County Road 302 near Shiner, about 127 miles west of Houston, said Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon.

Harmon said the victim, a 47-year-old Gonzales man, died at the scene. His name has not been released because his next of kin has not yet been notified of the death.

No arrests have been made in the case. Harmon said a grand jury will probably to determine what, if any charges, will be filed.

Harmon said the father and daughter were at their barn with several other people to groom and care for horses there. The victim came with some of the other people, but was not well-known, if all, to the father and child.

The group later heard the girl screaming behind the barn, Harmon said. Her father ran to see what was wrong and said he saw the man allegedly sexually assaulting the child. While pulling the man away from the girl, he hit the man several times in the head, Harmon said.

The girl was taken to DeTar hospital in Victoria to be evaluated and to have tests done to determine if a sexual assault occurred. She was released later

I believe that shooting took place at Little Rock Airport back in the 1980s. I used to pass through there a lot while stationed at LRAFB in the 1970s.

Personally, I didn’t see a crime take place in the YouTube footage.

With the alleged beating to death. I say, “And?”.

If dad has access to a back hoe. Bury the perv under a few emptied sacks of Soda Lime and plant a nest of roses or tulips on the mound of dirt.

victim

Use of this term in the context of this particular corpse is offensive and I'm fairly confident that the reporter and his/her editor already have been upbraided for it by many of their readers. "Deceased" is the most accurate yet still printable word that could have been used. But since the vast majority of reporters have the intelligence level of kitchen utensil and the sensitivity of a garden slug it probably never even occurred to them.

IF (big if) the guy was messing wit the girl, then I agree with those who think dad deserves a medal. IF. IF the girl was NOT abused, adn dad is makgin this up to cover something else up, like the guy owed huim money, then that is a different story. i remember duke lacross adn trayvon martin. what the news people tell us is often far from the truth.

The article makes no mention of the two men knowing each other, however the witnesses in the barn say they heard the girl scream. All this adds up to sexual assault by the perp and if it was my daughter this guy would be just as dead only with bullet holes in him.

Pin a medal on him and he’s innocent, he was only protecting a baby from a prep that would have always raped babies. They can’t be changed, no matter what is tried.

Notice how the article uses their journalistic sleight-of-hand to change the dead perp into “the victim”.

Something Leftie-Lib Urinalists always do.

It’s difficult for me to imagine a father who would not react this way in the face of such an atrocity.

I don't want to see that day when someone can beat another person to death and get away with it by saying, “He was molesting my daughter, so I killed him. Trust me.”

So you are ignoring the fact all the people in the barn heard the little girl scream?So, take your choice:

A:)the little girl screamed because she just wanted to.

B:)the girl screamed because it was almost lunch time and she wanted to eat

C:)The little girl screamed because some pervert was molesting her.

I pick C but that is just me. Maybe you can think of a better reason that she screamed.

Wonder how the girl got away from the father in the first place without him knowing?

Did you bother to read the article? They were on their own farm! The father would have no reason to believe that someone on his own property would do something so horrific to his child.

How would this have turned out if the father was a muzzie?

Maybe: Killed his daughter and claimed it was an Honor Killing.She must have Provoked her own Rape.

Sick %$#&ing Cult Claiming to be a Religion.

No sane society would condemn a father for protecting his child.

IF the circumstances are proven true ( and that is important, because I don’t want a country where you can kill anyone you want and then allege they molested a kid ). . .

as a juror I would not vote to convict.

If there were a decent expectation of justice for child rapists in this country, I would. But there isn’t. Until the death penalty is applied consistently and quickly, well, a father has to what a father has to do.

Never seen an Outhouse in the front yard, but in this case I agree.

"The Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office is expected to perform an autopsy on the victim to determine what caused his death."

LOL!

That may actually be useful. Conceivably the perp hăd a weak heart and all the excitement of being beat to death might have made him have a heart attack. That would reduce potential charges against the hero to assault and battery or some such. Such things have actually happened.

Correction, as I think it out, if he killed him while defending his daughter, I wouldn’t convict either, even if we did have swift and equitable application of the death penalty.

Currently, child rape is not even a death penalty offense. The mind boggles.

No sane society would condemn a father for protecting his child.

And therein lies the crux of the matter - it's highly questionable whether or not we have a sane society anymore.
