Man beats pedophile to death

[Veronica]

That dude deserved to die if he was doing that to a child!!!

 

[Ryder]

Good. Fucker deserved to die for what he did. I only hope it was slow and painful. Good for the father and I hope he doesn't get prosecuted.

That pesky word IF
It will keep raising its ugly head

I think we dont know near enough about what happened to be able to condemn anyone here

No-one, apart from the father seems to have seen/heard anything

And that's the biggest tragedy of this whole mess. The fact that his daughter witnessed a man being beat to death.

I wonder which event will haunt her more in the years to come.

I'm not saying he was wrong or right, just that his daughter shouldn't have had to witness that.

That's just insane to say. The biggest tragedy is the little girl being put in that position to begin with.

She saw a bad man doing unspeakable things to her, and daddy save her from that man. People are going to do extreme things when it comes to defending their kids, especially in the moment. Not only does the law allow for that, so does the human psyche. Regarding how the little girl deals, well, unfortunately kids are witness to a lot more things we hope to shelter them from, but the best course has always been do be up front with them to the degree that they can grasp things at the age they are.

Sounds a little odd.
Here you are looking for your daughter.
I assume there will be yelling etc for her.
The father just stumbles upon them and the guy is in the act...little unlikely.
Dont get me wrong I am not defending the pervert....but IMO there are more unanswered questions here than the Zimmerman case.

I was waiting for someone to compare the 2.

As horrid as it sounds I'm not sure if I'm for the eye for an eye ideology... Put the fucker in prison and make him somebody's bitch.

This is how I view it. The father could have overacted or viewed the situation wrong. But now we only have the father's testimony, so we'll never know.

Also, in what situations is killing an unarmed person warranted? Will another case expand the window?

 

[Aeval]

Personally - I think it's a tough call. Yeah...anyone would want to kill if someone was harming their child and I guess the grand jury heard more than we did to justify not investigating the matter any further, but, I don't know, is it a prescedent? What's the long-term harm in such a matter, legally-speaking?

I don't fault the guy for doing what he did, not one bit, but I'm just trying to look at it from a legal standpoint.

Thanks to the great state of Texas

The news mentioned something about how the law in Texas states that lethal of excessive force is acceptable when trying to protect anyone who is being sexually assaulted, which is why the charges were dropped.

That asshole got what he deserved if he was assaulting a 5 yr old.

I didn't investigate the law, thanks.

Good...I hope the bastard rots. But I did kinda like the idea of him being someone's bitch for a while first

fuck that.. Why should he be allowed to lead a somewhat better life than some homeless person? Those assholes get TV time, they get fed 3 times a day and even meds to "help them cope" a fucking waste of everyone's money TBH

He'd be riding a free ticket to a careless existence on the dime of every single person paying taxes.

nah.. take him out back
put a bullet in his head
cremate his ass

 

[darkcgi]

He got the easy way out but at least he wont be doing it again

The real tragedy is that you actually believe that.

Having never been sexually assaulted myself, I can't speak from experience. However, I know many people who have been sexually assaulted in some fashion. The age it happened ranges from childhood to middle age adults, and that's a burden that many will carry to the grave, and I can tell you this, the real tragedy is that this little girl has to live her life with those memories, the memories of some strange man, who took her away from her brother, and started hurting her. Luckily for her though, her dad came to the rescue, and stopped him.

That is the ONE glint of positive in this whole situation. Yeah, a man had to die as a result, but I'm glad that dad showed up when he did, and stopped her from being hurt further.

 

[fuel1316]

every 2 minutes in the US someone is sexually assaulted. do you know how gross that statistic is?

http://www.rainn.org/statistics

that little girl will spend the rest of her life knowing that her father did everything in his power to protect/save her.

maybe we should beat a few more to death. maybe word will spread because it seems jail time is OBVIOUSLY not deterring things around here.

Pedophiles are not put into general population for that very reason. So, next suggestion....

 

[fuel1316]

46% of rapists who were released from prison were re-arrested within 3 years of their release for another crime.​

thats nearly half. jail time aint working.

My wording was not right... it wasn't the worst part of the tragedy... her having to go through a second of this mess is the worse part and I have no doubt about that.

My point is that this man was beat to death right in front of this little girl adding insult to injury. There is no way I would subject my children to someone being beaten to death, let alone at my hands.

You don't think that this girl is going to be screwed up knowing this man was beaten to death while she watched? We are talking about a child here, all she knows at the time was this man was hurting her. How many kids witness something like this and end up blaming themselves? She could very well carry around the guilt of this mans death being her fault. As much as we all know that isn't true a child's mind is different.

My point is that this man took a terrible situation for this child and compounded it further. Think about this for a moment, how do you think it would have affected his son if he brought him with him and he also witnessed the whole thing?

They're sick - there is no rehabilitation for being fucked in the head. Shoot them or lock them up and throw away the key. And that # represents people who got caught....it's probably higher.

I see what you mean now, Tim. Thanks for clarifying. You could be right, it could have a very negative effect on her.

However, do we know she actually witnessed it happening? I'm sure she saw her dad strike the man initially, but I don't see a little girl standing there watching. At that age isn't there inclination to cry and run? I'm speculating, and not arguing.

Also, maybe she did see it, but maybe that's more of a happy moment in her mind now, than a tragic one. Because her daddy saved her when she was in trouble. Maybe in her mind it's not associated with death, but more with life, because she didn't know what was going to happen to her if her dad didn't show up.

Those are my thoughts. :dunno

 

[Tim]

We may never know the true details..

I've seen this story other places and it seems that everyone immediately jumped on the "Kill the bastard" band wagon and not one person worried about the little girl in the regard of seeing something like that. The story does indicate that she was present, but again we don't know for sure.

Maybe it struck me as odd because no one saw that the act of saving her may have been harmful to her as well...
