Not IMHO. My kids are grown now. Had anything like that happened to them as children I’d have done the exact same thing. The phrase “beaten to a pulp” comes to mind. Would have needed DNA to ID the pervert, not even dental records would do.

Civilization is built on many things, but at the core is you protect your kids. I admire this father's restraint.
Anyone who did that to my child find themselves without any equipment to do that kind of evil ever again. Courtesy of my rage.
It used to be that society took care of the fetid cancers in their midst.
I agree. The little girl was only 4 years old. If he'd had sex with her, it could have killed her. She would have had serious internal injuries. The father saved her life.
At first, I assumed the dad was in the right. Upon reflection, since the accused would-be molester is dead, and originally I read he was caught in the act, I have my doubts. Was the guy in the process of molesting the child or not?
I would have done the same and damn the consequences.
Heather McMinn District Attorney for Guadalupe, Gonzales and Lavaca Counties
Endorsed by:
Arnold Zwicke Guadalupe County Sheriff
Glen Sachtleben Gonzales County Sheriff
Micah Harmon Lavaca County Sheriff
Heather McMinn has been the DA since 2009 and won the GOP primary for that position in May.
GOP-e RINO or Conservative, I’m wondering. Those 3 guys look like Conservatives, but looks alone can be deceiving. I’ll wait to see how she plays-it-out, legally. I hope I’m wrong, the GJ refuses to indict, and he walks, quickly. The father deserves a *medal* for killing that POS molester, IMO.
Correct. They are protecting political correctness.
That is possible.
And I read elsewhere that she was sued for another action related to the death of a child. Jury found her not guilty, but she probably does not want that mess again.
The headline should read “....dad who allegedly beat child molestor” instead of “.....dad who beat alledged child molestor”.
I hope they find the two were fighting and one major blow killed the perp. It would be bothersome if the dad knocked him unconscious and then kept pummeling him until he died.
From what I have read, NO.
I restate: I have total confidence that the Texas Ranger investigation will reveal the facts in the case.
Should be a matter of about 30 seconds to declare this killing justifiable homicide. The father should be nominated for the Medal of Freedom.
And, a Nobel Peace Prize. He’s certainly more deserving than that loser occupying the WH.
I agree.
Law enforcement in Texas is generally pretty sane. Especially in rural areas of TX.
The case has taken on a national interest because of the coverage. She is probably acting defensively as you suggested.
Time will tell all the details, in this case.
A lot we don’t know at this point that at some time we’ll hopefully know. The medical examination of the girl and deceased will provide some answers.
In my opinion, it would make no difference.
If he was molesting the child and the father saw it, I cannot see a grand jury true billing the father under any circumstances. I am not totally sure he only used his hands. That has gone unsaid. One article mentioned hitting him on top of the head.
