Texas father kills daughter's abuser

[XSniper]

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.

Hmm, if I had a 4 year old daughter and found this happening, I'd probably do the same...in fact, if it was someone else's daughter I'd probably beat the crap out of the guy too!

I would like to see him charged with manslaughter and given a sentence on probation.
That way he will not have to go to prison, while it does show that killing a man will always be thoroughly looked at by the judges. It will ensure the barrier to kill someone is not lowered.

That's means if you've to defend yourself again, the penalty will be enforced, that wouldn't be fair either.

[Huntsman]

I chose "Charged"

You know why? It doesnt matter what he was doing, he still killed a man. I'm pretty sure there was a way to use a non-lethal ways to defend his daugher, and the abuser would have a lot harder time in prison, yet , the death was a lot easier than staying in prison.

Self Defence is a totally another case.

"Self defence" is much more than just defending your own life.

[Huntsman]

"Self defence" is much more than just defending your own life.

Self Defence is EXACTLY defending your own life.

[Shejken]

No.

[Sweeper]

Self Defence is EXACTLY defending your own life.

Then I suggest you to read the Criminal Law.

[Torero]

He did the right thing. I'd kill him too.
Though bit harsh, but at that time you see someone abusing your daughter you blur.
I'd blur. Wouldn't have the ability to think so much in a situation like this.. Who would?

Self Defence is EXACTLY defending your own life.

Are you trying to imply that a 4 year old can defend themselves from a grown mad? Why are you even slightly trying to defend a sex offender. This father did society a public service and deserves to be recognised for a job well done.

[JDC]

He actually did the man a favor by killing him. Once word gets out that the new prisoner was jailed for molesting a 4 year-old, I can foresee a lot of fun times in the shower for the other prisoners.

[Sweeper]

Haha, true.

[Teddy]

Self Defence is EXACTLY defending your own life.

No.

Self Defense is protecting your own immediate life, it DOES however cover those around you. You can defend the life of someone else; Again, in the US Self Defense laws are state-oriented laws, meaning each state has its own "law" on it.

  You know nothing do you? One, you don't know how old I am, or everyone else here for that matter. Two, you don't need to be "trained" to beat someone's ass to near death pal or for that matter, any age over 12 to do it.

I would like to see him charged with manslaughter and given a sentence on probation.

This is most likely what will happen, although without the probation sentence. Manslaughter is a "murder" charge in a sense not a felony, which holds 15 years minimum (again in most states) in prison.  My Cousin was charged with Manslaughter, its a touchy charge and is there is a fine like between it and Murder; in this case it can be argued he was provoked into attacking the man, and even "impartial" self defense, if state law doesn't protect him.
