Nice to See Some Justice.

I just read this and being a father can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing.

Justice

 

[dervis]

Amen

 

[mluyckx]

Having raised 3 wonderful daughters ... Amen as well

 

[bigmike]

Amen...........

 

[irishsmoker]

Amen!!!

 

[brian64]

Amen...and I hope he stopped it before much harm befell the child. But the father is lucky he lives in TX...one of probably only a few states where he would not be indicted these days.

 

[crpntr1]

I can't imagine this

 

[jwp159]

Amen +1

And he shouldn't be charged. He defended his daughter and used reasonable force, as per the situation.
However whoever wrote the news article's title.....

"Father who killed daughter's Alleged[..]" Alleged? By the article's own admission it was proven.
"[..]The girl was examined at a hospital, and Lavaca County District Attorney Heather McMinn said forensic evidence and witness accounts corroborated the father's story that his daughter was being sexually molested."
I guess it's a nitpick but if I was the father, seeing Alleged in the title would royally piss me off.

 

[jchaplick]

Good for him. Sucks in general, but how much better retribution can you get than that?

 

[grizzly86]

@knightmare I completely agree.

 

[judcole]

Alleged? By the article's own admission it was proven.

They are probably saying "alleged" because they always to that if there has not been a conviction. But it sure seems an odd choi8ce of words.

Well he could have gone about it in a little different manner to stop the guy. If his objective was to stop the guy, why didn't he blow both kneecaps off the guy, causing him a lifetime of pain and agony, millions in bills, etc. , without outright killing him.

the father is lucky he lives in TX

totally true ... in California, you can get sued for having a slippery floor when a burglar comes in.
I'd say it's street justice that worked out in a positive manner ... and all evidence (that is mentioned in the article) appears he wasn't actually trying to kill him anyhow, just beat him senseless.

 

[knightmare]

No mercy for someone attacking my child.

 

[kyletheaviator]

Family or not I would have done the same thing. Texas definitely does one thing right: their judicial system; they don't put up with SH!T.

 

[cortezattic]

zanthal +1. Good to see real justice administered. But the guy is probably looking forward to a wrongful death lawsuit. "Wrongful" in that there was no due process. So sad.

 

[lonestar]

God Bless Texas.
