Texas father kills daughter's abuser

[Sweeper]

A Texas father has used his bare hands to
kill a man he caught abusing the father's
four-year-old daughter.

The unidentified father walked into his own home on
Saturday to discover the 47-year-old man, a casual
acquaintance of his family, sexually assaulting the
little girl.

The father repeatedly punched the abuser in the head
and killed him, CNN reports.

Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon said the assault
took place while other members of the family were
outside grooming horses, but no charges were laid.

"You have a right to defend your daughter," Sheriff
Harmon said.

"Once the investigation is completed we will submit it
to the district attorney who then submits it to the
grand jury, who will decide if they will indict him."

Sheriff Harmon said the man was "very remorseful"
and did not know the man would die.

This guy did what every parent has the right to do, defend their children from sick fucks like this guy. If anything this guy gave this sick bastard a break by killing him instead of letting him suffer like he deserves.

Not possible to express it in words. Your own acquaintance abusing your 4-years old daughter. This makes clear how many sick people there are on the world...

According to the parent's rights, he had every right to defend his daughter, even going as far as killing the man. I'd kill someone too if I saw that.

I'm not really aware of U.S. Law but there are limits to self-defense in Europe. But still, the father didn't kill the abuser on purpose.

I'd do the same exact thing. The man probably didn't intend to kill 'em, but personally, I'd leave him alive. There are a lot of people in prison who would gladly fuck him up.

I was actually thinking of this film whilst reading this... 




The guy did what I hope every father would do: beat the living shit out of him. The sick bastard died as a result? Well that's just a damn shame.

Like SafetyMoose said, he got off easy with death instead of rotting away in prison.

That sick fk got what he deserved. Sex offenders are let off the hook to easy in our world. They serve their time and are set free back into society so they can continue to find new victims; Hell there has been offenders who found new victims while still in prison. However, given the fact he him self wasn't  or his daughter wasn't in "direct life-threatening" danger, would not surprise me if the DA filed charges.

That's right. But maybe he still won't be charged looking at the circumstances of this crime.
I think you'll stop thinking if you walk into your house and face this.

I'm not really aware of U.S. Law but there are limits to self-defense in Europe.

Self-defense laws tend to vary from state to state here in the U.S., which just makes it really fucking confusing.
Some states have the stand-your-ground law, which allows force in self defense when there is reasonable belief of a threat without the obligation to attempt a retreat beforehand. Some states don't even allow self-defense. You are obligated to retreat, regardless if force is the only feasible option. In other words, if you're backed into a corner with a gun to your head, you have two options: you can either act in self-defense and face assault/murder charges, or you can take a bullet through your brain.
Luckily, here in Virginia, if you are in immediate danger of death or serious injury, you are able to use force to protect yourself.

This is pretty much the base of all of them however. Only if someone is in immediate danger of death, is it considered "self defense". In this case, at least not noted was a gun or knife involved or any direct violence to the daughter. Which is why I fear the DA will file the charges against the father.

He won't go to jail, it's fucking Texas.

Think about it guys. Your own meat and blood, what you've created and the thing you love most in life and would've been devastated if you lost him/her would be sexual abused by a 47 year old man. I would seriously kill him.

I wouldn't. I beat him to an inch of death, and then let prison life destroy him. Here in the US, child molesters are prime real estate in prison. Then when he gets out, cause our lovely justice system lets him. I'd find him, and again beat him to and inch of death.

Killing him gives him the easy way out.
