Oh come on, how violent can you be in close-proximity to a 4 year old? He raged out and killed the guy, so it's manslaughter at the very least. Lock him the fuck up.

"if any"? Why, he beat a man to death with his bare hands. How could he walk away without any sort of trial?

Theres a film about this with Samuel L mothefucking Jackson ?, he claimed diminished responsibility or someshit like that lol.

*If* (and it sounds like a big fucking IF) the guy was really a kiddy fiddler I reckon the father deserves a medal tbh but in terms of justice, yea, you cant really let shit like this slide

He would've deserved a medal if he tied the pedo up and called the police. Repeatedly beating someone until said someone is dead is not an act of heroism.

Bit of a he said she said thing innit, no evidence either way. Which is why there should be a trial, obviously. Dismissing a trial based on the testimony of the surviving party, lol. Ridiculous.

I mean ffs, this quote alone raises heavy, heavy suspicions of at least manslaughter:

Quote:
“In the course of trying to get her away from him, and protect her, he struck the subject several times in the head and the subject died,” Harmon said.


Yeah, maybe he was some sort of hypersexual zombie who was immune to pain and kept on trying to rape that poor little girl.

Aye !, pretty daft to discuss the suggestion of doing anything but taking it to trial

Kinda similiar to the Treyvon ? killing ?, the killer was released because he claimed self defence ?, despite piling a boy full of lead for packing skittles ?

Sounds pretty fair to me. Don't mess about with kids because it makes people want to kill you.

Well done that man

Gutfeelings based on nothing make for a pisspoor justice system, idiots.

Another problem i have with this story is the claim that the victim sexually assaulted the guys daughter within hearing distance. How often do you hear of a pedo going about their business like that? Never? Me too.

there's not really enough info the article to draw any conclusions. if the guy was still trying to get at his daughter while he was right there in the room, then fair enough; but if he just attacked the guy because he was furious - as one would be in that situation - then it's a different story. the article's a bit ambiguous, hence the varying reactions ITT

the article is ambiguous because only one person has given any information about what happened at the scene, the guy who committed the homicide.

I mean, if I just murdered someone I would definitely call him a pedo to try to get away with it.

these stories are always good for being polarizing and ambiguous as seremetan said.

Imagine for a minute that the dad might not be telling the truth. It's supposedly why we have a justice system.

edit: just saw a news thing saying it's going to a grand jury so that's that. business as usual, if his case is compelling enough he might not see trial.

Aye I was thinking his story seemed a bit suspicious, especially as the 'paedo' has no previous convictions for shit ?, then all of a sudden hes feeling up little girls in front of the dad. Might be the way the article's written but I have problems believing his story.

Eh no. Even if there wasn't any doubt at all that the man was sexually harassing the girl, then it is still wrong to beat him to death or take any sort of retaliatory action. We have laws and a justice system for that, and we all agreed to abide the law and have the police and justice deal with those that do not. If we do not adhere to those agreements then that can only bring misery and chaos. Sure, the man may have acted out of emotion, I'd probably take a swing at anyone trying to harrass my daughter as well, but that doesn't make it morally OK to do so.

TBH we all agree to abide by the law when it suites us, well atleast some of us do, I think id be morally fucked up if I never done anything (atleast beat him til he looks dead) and that happened to any of my relatives, if someone asked me if I would do it again after spending most of my life behind bars id hope id say yes

Way to miss the point there sunshine.
I'm not drawing conclusion about this particular case. I'm responding to your saying

Quote:

Implying that it's OK for him being beaten to death if that were the case.

Then you continue to say that the ambiguous nature of the article is causing the varying opinions, implying that if the article unambiguously pointed out that the killed man was indeed harassing the young girl, that probably would've swayed over everyone's opinion in favor of the alleged murderer (him beating the other man to death being OK). I'm simply pointing out that this should not be true.

well, lets not miss the main plot point of this story...this happened in Texas, and if it wasn't for the wide spread and speed of information these days, this would most likely have been an open and shut case. But alas, this is now national news so his redneck "this is my land and I am the king of it" kind of attitude will not play well with the grand jury.

If he could beat the man to death he just as easily could've beat him within an inch of it and then called the authorities. rofl at you morons thinking instant capital punishment over an alleged and non fatal assault is cool. go fuck off back to your third world countries.

No doubt the alpha-male wannabes would get a thrill out of this. Like all morons, they think the best solution to any problem is: "a brick".

No matter the trigger, if you beat someone to death with your bare hands there's a good chance you already had a screw loose. And if you're from Texas it's automatic that you've got a screw loose.

Why? So you can put it in the hands of people that weren't there and don't know what really happened? Note here that I'm talking strictly about a case wherein you walk in on someone raping your toddler. In that scenario, you think the only acceptable course of action is to call the cops?

If you think that the legal system = justice, I've got some bad news for you. Besides, pedophiles don't get rehabilitated or cured, they will just assault some other kid when they get out of prison. Some people just need to be killed because they're useless pieces of shit that just contaminate the world.
