Angry Enough to See Red.

[tbradsim1]

A long time ago my neighbors daughter who I had watched grow up , taught her how to swim in my pool, went the wrong way into drugs, they found her dead beside a dumpster in a housing project, attending the furnel I started talking to the mortician, they had not opened the casket, he told me its a shame she was beaten to death, after the burial, I informed myself about the case, I had a friend who was a captain in the vice squad, he said they knew it was her pimp but didn"t have enough evidence, I went home loaded up my Ithach riot gun with flechetts sharpened my fairbain knife, put them in my truck and went to my neighbors house and asked him to come outside, I told lets go take care of that SOB, he looked at me and said words I"ll never forget ( I don"t want to get in trouble) I walked away thinking what kind of father is he I came back home and cried and got drunk by the pool where I had taught her how to swim. The old cajun

I walked away thinking what kind of father is he

The kind of father who knows it won't help his daughter. The kind that knows his first duty, right now, is to his wife, who is hurting, and then to his other kids.
Let's face it, gents, while it might be personally satisfying to avenge yourself on the man who violated (or murdered) your daughter, it won't help her. A woman who goes through the horrible experience of rape or sexual assault needs the love and support of the people she is closest to. And if it is a young woman, I would think it would be especially important to have the love and support of the first man she loved - her father - even if it is just his quiet, reassuring,presence,and an occasional hug or hand squeeze or pat.
So do what you have to do to grieve. Get drunk. Cry. But do it like a man - put it behind you,and be there for your daughter,and for your wife, who is going to need your support. That's what separates the men from the boys.
And, by the way, I have three adult daughters.

At some point in time a line in the sand has to be drawn. Things that you will not tolerate no matter what. If a man has 10 daughters is there a number where he puts a stop to it? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, OK now I have to do something. Tons of things worth going to jail for. One of those being taking out the SOB to make sure he hurts no one else.

 

[judcole]

You aren't doing that for your daughter. You are doing that for yourself. You don't help your daughter by going to jail.
And congratulations on creating a straw man.

I would shoot him, all this touchy feely crap is for p.....s . Of course Iam in Texas where we are allowed to rid the world of scum as we see fit . Then I can say . See sweetie daddy blew his balls off . Big Hug . :rofl:

In all seriousness, though it is relieving sometimes to let out anger through talking about what one would do in such a situation, I would never kill anyone or use physical violence to right the wrong even though I would want to. But I think that we have an obligation to society to let those around us know that they are living near rapists if we know who they are. I think if the government won't let your country know who they are then the person who does know is a hero for giving their names out.

Igloo, you are a funny man, I always liked you.

"[She] should not be legally barred from talking about what happened to her," Gregg Leslie, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, told the Associated Press. "That's a wide-ranging restraint on speech."
I agree. There should be no agreement that you can sign, that bars your ability from discussing an attack and what happened. They were abusing the legal system to commit a crime and then to cover it up.

I agree with many of the sentiments above and think this is ridiculous, but I caution the membership to keep everything on an even keel, so to speak and let's keep our ire focussed at the perpetrators of this crime and not at each other. If this thread goes south, it'll be closed.

It's been settled, so I don't think we need to leave this open.
