Texas Dad Beats Daughter's Molester to Death: Cops

Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

Even if I were a juror and he testified that he killed him because I was enraged dispite the man's pleas for mercy, I'd still never convict him.

He he killed him with by jamming lamp up his ass, for an hour, I still wouldn't convict him.

I have absolutely zero respect for the life of child molesters.
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

he should plead temporary insanity. I would go along with it as a juror.

So now it's insane to protect your children? Hell - I thought it was my JOB to protect them - my RESPONSIBILITY - even give my LIFE for them. . . guess not. . . that's just crazy :roll:
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

So when do they erect the statue in his honor?
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

Maybe this should be the new punishment for pedophiles death by dad.

Some Dad's - like mine - are too spineless and ****ty to care THAT much about their own flesh and blood and would sooner feed their children to the dogs that lift a finger to set things right.
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

He was entitled to use whatever force was needed to neutralize the attacker.
He did

He was not entitled to kill him out of anger or revenge.
I view his reaction as being entirely appropriate.

The point is that you don't get to throw out the law and start killing people just because child molestors are involved.
He didn't. He was well within his right to use lethal force if the events happened as stated, according to state law.

Just behead the creature, run a stake made of wild rosebush through its body, and into the ground, then run iron needles through it's heart. Cremate if necessary.
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

Wouldn't someone sexually abusing a girl count as sexual assault?

Yes of course. I said that in some states sexual assault is enough to justify deadly force, but in others only a threat to life or limb is enough.
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

The point is that you don't get to throw out the law and start killing people just because child molestors are involved.

Correct. As an example..under our laws, if the guy you shot in a deadly force situation is longer a threat and walking back to shoot him 2-3 more times on the ground, can't be considered self defense.

Like it or not, you can't execute some one whos no longer a threat.
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

I read about a somebody sentenced to prison for doing this very thing. He killed the abuser after the abuser was not convicted based on insufficient evidence, so that might make a difference... but it's hard to tell.

Yeah, killing somebody in the heat of the moment, at least partly in order to stop the act, is one thing. Killing them after the fact, in colder blood, is a whole different deal. Definitely you'd go to prison for that in any state.
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

This is a tricky situation. On the one hand, I'd probably do the same thing. On the other, people should be accountable for their actions. This guy killed someone, and he probably ought to be charged. That kind of sucks, but it's probably what should happen.

He shouldn't be charged. He should be given a medal, a parade and have a national holiday in his honor.

I wouldn't go that far, but it seems Aderleth has child rapists confused with human beings. They are not.

They are absolutely human beings. Human beings can be immensely ****ed up.

No jury on the planet is going to convict him. If I were on the jury, I'd be asking "wait... why are we here again?"

Technically unlawful? Maybe.

well when i heard about that case in CT where two mopes raped two girls and their mother-almost killed the father and then burned the girls to death after murdering the mother I would be in favor of the father being given four things

1) A crowbar
2) a blowtorch
3) an hour with the two mopes who would be stretched on racks
4) a complete pardon for all that he does during that hour
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

yeah.. you aren't justified in employing lethal force ( or any force) months or years later against the perp.. it's no longer a defense issue when you do that.
it's undoubtedly the difference

Not according to the law, but I would willingly go to prison to avenge a family member of something like that. Especially my kids.
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

I have heard of similar murder cases and its always sad to see. The father cannot be charged with premeditated murder, it will probably be classified as a passion killing/emotions took over in the moment. But he will more than like go to prison for a few years. I feel really bad for the little girl. She has to lose her father because of all of this now. I really hope the father gets psychological help as well as the daughter. Being in prison can really screw somebody up.

You evidently don't know much about Texas, do you? He will, no doubt, not even be charged, and he shouldn't be charged.
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

Everything I have read about this suggest that the 23 year old father will not likely be arrested or charged. This is rural Texas, if anything he will be honored. If it were in some liberal bastion like NY city or San Fransicko he would have already been arrested and charged.
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

You cannot assume the man went too far in defense of his daughter. It's an absurd position. There should be no doubt in the mans mind of his actions defending her. In a scenario like this, if there is no way to prove he went too far, assume he didn't.

I agree. This child was only 4 yrs old. The violent rape of a child this small by a full-grown man could have ruptured her insides, leaving her permanently scarred, sterile or dead. He acted lawfully to protect his child. He didn't intend to kill the guy; he intended to punch him until he was no longer a danger. And he did.

He done good. sadly it was too quick
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

Probably the only good thing that's happened in Texas, and it's still a tragedy.
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

It's hard to fault him. But at the same time, if you go to prison for killing the abuser, you can't be involved with your child's healing process personally or on a daily basis. I think it's normal for a parent to want to harm somebody whom harms their child. But when the parent is in prison, I think it's equally normal that they wish they weren't there. They probably wish they were with their child protecting them or even calming them down at 2 am when they have nightmares.

Except, that in a just non Libbo world, this dude shouldn't go to prison for protecting his kid.
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

No doubt. My heart totally goes out to the guy. I'd probably do the same thing in that situation and I hope he doesn't face legal repercussions for doing it. And realistically, I'm sure he won't. Or, at most, he'll get a slap on the wrist. But as you point out, SheWolf is right. We shouldn't idealize this guy, we should sympathize with him and prepare ourselves to do better if, god forbid, we're ever in that situation. Pulling the guy off, beating him to within an inch of his life, but not past that point, and making sure he faces the full consequences of the law would ultimately be a better outcome. Frankly, it'd probably be worse for him that way. Child rapists face 20 years of extraordinary torture in prison. Maybe that's even a fate worse than death. Say what you will about inmates, they make sure guys like that get what's coming to them and then some.

Call me crazy, but I don't want to depend on a pack of dirtbags to serve up justice on another dirtbag.

This was a good kill. It should happen more often...there would be fewer rapists in the world.
 
Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

I find it somewhat disturbing that anyone would even question this poor father's actions at that moment in his life.

I find nothing in what he did objectionable or questionable.

I think he reacted as many/most would/should.

There's nothing in the report that suggests he went overboard or in any way was deliberately trying to kill the man raping his young daughter.

No more questions need to be asked in my opinion.
Let the healing begin ASAP for that little girl and her family.
Best thing all around is to let her have her father.

In addition, the new norm for child molesters is they aren't put in general population. Guess its "inhumae" to allow them to abused by their fellow inmate. Of course the molestors humanity is vitally more important than the victim <end sarcas>
