Re: Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter
That's the baseline, yes, but it doesn't necessarily cover what this guy did. Once he got to the point where his daughter is no longer in physical danger he didn't really have any legally defensible right to continue to beat the guy. Don't get me wrong, the guy deserved a beating, but it wasn't necessarily lawful.
Oh quit the bull**** - what was he suppose to do, legitimately? What would you have done? Pull him away from her and say 'hey man, that's enough. . . ' - or 'hey dude - maybe later' like it's some casual unimportant awkward situation like walking in on two teens screwing in the bedroom when they think you're asleep? :roll:
It is NOT the Dad's fault this **** was a twisted disgusting freak and tried to violate his little child and couldn't take a few hits to the head in reponse. Why are you expecting the Dad to have been the one to tone-down and not over-react when this twisted ass was the one with the perverse and vile intentions to begin with? I wish my Dad would have been my hero like that.
From the sound of things; the Dad is actually torn between his feelings = he didn't MEAN to kill him. In his mind and heart he was protecting his daughter with immediate and understandable RAGE. Not his fault this douch couldn't handle what he had coming to him.
I'm sure it only lasted a very short while. . . in that rage-zone I don't imagine anyone would be capable of THINKING. . . don't pretend otherwise. . . any effort to create an 'other' scenario is stupid.
I think it's obvious you and maybe others haven't *been* in such a situation; the though process isn't 'oh - he's trying to molest my daughter' - the WORSE case scenario is what presents itself . . . "he's trying to KILL HER" is probably more along the lines of what he was realy thinking or feeling. . . and anyone who denies that this isn't how someone who *is* being attacked or who *sees* someone else being attacked or groped just hasn't been in the situation and experienced it.
When I was a child being molested I remember thinking and wondering if EVERY TIME if they were going to kill me - and if that would be a bad thing. . . I was 5. It's obvious you have no clue what the thought process is for the victim - at least she HAD someone to save her. Most kids don't even have anyone who will give a damn. . . and you have the nerve - not just you, others too, to expect him to maintain some sort of logical reasoning?
**** logic = logic dictated to my ****ing parents that since we were al good Christian Protestants that no one would ever dare do that to any of us children :roll:
Anyway - I just wish people would expect someone to somehow trump nature when it comes to the safety and wellbeing of hteir children. I do not - never will - expect that. If your child is in danger nature's most inate function kicks in full-gear . . . punish HIM for protecting HER - ****ing crazy. That's some middle eastern ****.
