Texas father kills man who molested daughter

"A Texas father may have been within his rights when he beat a man to death after allegedly catching him in the act of molesting his four-year-old daughter"
I might've killed the son of a b...h too.

I don't see a problem here.

Sounds like he saved the courts some time and money.

The only appropriate response, really.

He acted in the defense of a helpless third party. I don't see the crime.

Damn right, get him a big trophy.

Well, I'm not sure about Texas but that would get a father a year or two of jail time here. Worth it though, I'd imagine.

I doubt he intended to kill the guy. It reads like he was protecting his daughter, accidentally killing her molester.

So he's getting a medal?

Your first sentence is exactly whats wrong with our "legal" system, because rarely is there any justice for victims.

I would have killed him too.

I agree Brenda, it sounds like he was probably seeing red and just started beating the guy. Still can't say I blame him, I don't have children but I do have a younger brother and a niece and if I ever found out someone was molesting them I might "accidentally" kill the guy myself...And thats said with pre-thought, I can't imagine the rage of walking in and seeing something like that happening in front of my eyes, I don't think I could stop myself from jumping on the f..kers head.

Agreed though I think it's honest to say that when at least I say justice for the victim, I'm meaning vengeance.

In other words, I want to be satisfied in the amount of pain and anguish the law is inflicting on the bad guy before I can feel that justice has been served.

I have to admit that if I had been in that situation, I would have reacted exactly the same.
