“Assuming it’s true that this guy was molesting the daughter, and we don’t know what exactly happened at this point, he would then have the right to defend [her], and hit him enough to have him stop,” Harrington told FoxNews.com. “But you cannot summarily execute him, even though I can understand the anger he would have.”
[I hope Mr. Harrington doesn't have a 4 y/o daughter.]
I’m sick to my stomach over “civil rights.” Civil rights are ONE SIDED to everyone except those who are affected. A white man does anything to anyone of color and the “colored person’s” rights have been violated.
How about the father’s right AND DUTY to protect his wife, his children, and his property from the likes of ne’er-do-wells?
I’m SICK of all this racist BS. It’s coming to a head, folks, and like it or not, they’re going to lose by numbers alone.
A story I posted earlier.
Justified to kill: Why Detroit dominates the state’s justifiable homicides

The so called civil rights leaders are conspicuously absent, I wonder why that is.
Too many words are being produced to talk about, explain or argue something that is at the core of every father's being concerning his children and especially girls ... if you EVER come near my kids ...
When the Dad initially attacked the molester, he was defending his own daughter.
when he killed the criminal, he was defending the daughters of every father of a girl in Texas.
This father is a great American.
God Bless you, Sir.
Mr. Harrington thinks that the dad should have summoned just the right amount of anger and aggressiveness to defend his daughter from a physical attack, but not go too far. Hmmm, maybe the dad should have paused to assess his physical strength versus that of the molester, asked the molester if he had any ailments that could make death more likely in a fight, agree to some rules, and then proceeded. This sounds like the dad is Israel, and Mr. Harrington is the U.N., demanding a perfect “proportional response”.
I don't know where the limits of "self-defense" are, necessarily, but they're not there.
Yes, see, the importance hierarchy is
1: the deceased’s race
2: Whether the father ever participated in anything that could be interpreted as racist
3: the civil rights of the deceased, especially if he was an illegal immigrant
4: the message it sends to racists everywhere if this father walks free or worse, remains unindicted.
5: the message it sends to child molestors everywhere as far the survivability of committing their acts of diversity and cultural exposition in rural areas where there may be few elements of law enforcement.
6: the message it sends to people who believe that they have the right to protect their daughter or their family from
criminal assault.
7: the rights of the daughter who never would have had to go through this ordeal had she been properly aborted.
James Harrington = Media Whoring Jackass.
I would vote for the summary execution of James Harrington.
I’d personally beat this self-appointed civil-rights leader myself, given the opportunity.
WHAT about the "CIVIL RIGHTS" of the little girl????? The perp lost ALL "civil" rights when he became UNCIVIL!!!
Technically when the threat has been stopped.
The victim has to determine that however as they are the ones facing and dealing with the threat.
Would they be asking this if it was a woman being raped and she wound up killing the attacker? Do they ever ask that?
People shoot intruders all the time when the intruder hasn’t even put a hand on them (luckily).
I just love libs. Men hating all the way. Anything a guy does is wrong. Men suck any way you look at them. Now the dad is a bad guy too, because he defended his daughter from a pervert molesting her and the molester died. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
You know these are the same people that would criticize the guy if he didn’t kill the molester. “If it was MY daughter that guy would not have been left alive.”
And so what if there was anger. Cops respond in anger too. All people do. They are angry for being put in the situation, they are angry for having to have to defend themselves and others with force, they know it only makes their life more complicated from that point on. Just because there’s anger doesn’t mean the self defense isn’t necessary and the fact the pervert died while the dad was stopping the threat, doesn’t mean that was the intended result. That death is an unintended consequence of stopping the threat.
I love how these “Evolution Believing Liberals” ignore one of the strongest drives in Nature (besides sex, you know the one they love to flaunt in everyone’s faces as being natural and wholesome)and the drive that they ignore so much is the drive to protect one’s offspring.
One of the reasons they HAVE to abandon that drive is because in order to hold the sacred sacrement of abortion in so much reguard they have abandon one of the things that makes us a human animal and that is the drive to protect one’s offspring.
Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.
I don’t care who is attacking my child or any other child, what religion or race they are, they are dead meat if they are doing harm or getting ready to do harm. That is an instance where a human who is not asleep and pacified by progressivism will go berzerk and rightly so to defend their own opffspring.
Out of curiosity, I looked for this story on DU... The responses were very similar to what was on FR. Maybe a few more, “I'm not a violent person, but..”, but the overall consensus was pedophiles must die, and dad was a hero.
In this scenario it doesn’t quit being self defense until the molester is dead.
Did Mr. Harrington also allow that the molester may have gone “too far” in assaulting a 4-year-old girl?
BTW, I don’t know the details of this case, but when practical I’d advise a Shoot, Shovel & Shut Up approach for this sort of scenario.
I will pray for the father. He has saved his child and who knows how many more from that monster.
He should’ve beat him to death then shot him.
this is the case where a molester was being extradited and transported. As he was being taken through the airport, the father had been waiting by a bank of pay phones pretending to be on a call. When the criminal passed close by, the father pulled out a firearm and shot him fatally. Texas did not try him as it would have been impossible to find a jury to convict him.
The only thing the goverment can do is give nifong his license back to prosecute or import angela corey. Assuming it was the attacker of the little girl, the only way the government could obtain a charge let alone a conviction is unethically and immorally.
