Update: Texas Dad Beats His Daughter’s Molester to Death *Post 286*

[JBond]

Good! I would have done the same thing.

A Texas father beat a man to death after catching him molesting his 4-year-old daughter in a horse barn, The Houston Chronicle reports. The incident happened Saturday evening near Shiner, Texas.

Harmon said the father and daughter were with several other people at the family’s barn to groom and tend to the horses, according to The Chronicle. The alleged attacker was reportedly an acquaintance of the father.

The sound of the little girl’s screams were later heard coming from the barn and instinctually, the father rushed to his daughter’s aide. After reaching the barn, he found a man sexually assaulting his daughter – undoubtedly a dad’s worst nightmare.

After pulling the attacker off of her, the father repeatedly struck the man in the head.

I'll say what I posted on FB about this...

If what was alleged turns out to be true, then no jury alive would convict him.

What was alleged. On the phone and breezed the link but didn't see specifics.

Even though he did commit murder and we need to bring a foot down on vigilante justice, you are right, he won't be convicted.

It's a hard one for the Prosecutor though, he has to charge him simply because if he doesn't then vigilantes will be all over the place.

You do not know what you are talking about. He did not commit murder. You really shouldn't make stuff up.


According to the penal code:

(a) A person is justified in using deadly force against another:​

(1) if the actor would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.31; and​

(2) when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:​

(A) to protect the actor against the other’s use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force; or​

(B) to prevent the other’s imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery.​

Allegedly: Father walked up on a guy sexually assaulting his 4-yr old daughter and he beat the guy to death.

This is not a form of vigilantism if the story is accurate. The man was well within his rights to kill a man who was sexually assaulting his daughter.

I agree with him, and according to Texas law catching someone in the act of sexually assaulting another is grounds for using deadly force.

As Ron White says:

"if you kill someone in Texas...we will kill you back"

Nothing to see here, .. one guy did his duty, and the other got what was coming to him.

On another note for you "law" gurus, what if this was McQueary?

Nor should they.

The story as reported does seem a bit fishy to me - the guy assaulted the daughter when he knew the dad and others were nearby? Basically, I just don't trust news stories like this to report the events completely or accurately. Wait and see.

Depends on the laws regarding deadly force in Pennsylvania.

Regardless though, Sandusky deserves much worse than being beaten to death. If it were up to me serial pedophiles would be forcibly castrated without anesthesia and then thrown into the general prison population.

Not to take away from this thread but McQueary testified yesterday. Claimed he was overwhelmed by what he saw and slammed a locker door to make Sandusky stop. Not sure what the law says in Penn, but he should have done more.

Sounds about right.

Thank God for the difference between Texas and Canada.

:laugh1: yup

I recall when I was a kid seeing a video of a man shooting the man who had kidnapped and molested his son. They showed it on the evening news, the whole video. Molester is being escorted through the airport by the fbi, the father is hidden, pretending to be someone talking on a payphone, and as they walk by, he puts one in the molesters head.

It's on youtube, I believe.

no surprise that you would say what you did.

None at all

people like you will never understand that just because something is legal it is not just; and that the only justice is not always legal.

I saw a story about a quiet little old lady, who sat in the courtroom and never said a word while the trial of the man that raped and murdered her daughter went on.

As soon as he was found guilty she slowly stood up and put six bullets into him.

Nobody thought to check the "quiet little old lady" for a gun.
