Thread: Texas Man Beats His Daughter's Suspected Molester to Death

Sounds like the Texan might have saved the state a significant amount of money.
They'll have to give him "counselling" at least... assuming the guy was guilty of course... if the alleged offender turns out to be innocent, then i guess the Texan is going to have to be BBQed.

It would be a good way to set someone up, but I don't think you'd rely on your fists to do the job when the gun laws in Texas are so unrestricted.

It will be interesting to see if anything happens with this case beyond a simple judgement of justifiable homicide (he was legally defending his child).

A person can be killed by one punch...

Would one punch be "reasonable?"...

You are referring to blind rage and very understandable if a father caught another man sexually assaulting his 4 year old daughter.

Good on him.

Got that right.

Wouldn't want to live in a world where I couldn't beat some POS like that to death for molesting a child...

Agreed, the guy should get off totally free. As the father of twin girls this has always been a nightmare and continues to be. The are getting older and wiser, but at the same time being given much more freedom.

That is self defense, its a fathers duty to protect his 4 year old.

If his story holds up, he may well not face charges.

But of course, as usual you are all being rather sheep-like and led by the nose by your media.

If there is a dead body in your house, and you concede you are responsible, then if your justification is that the deceased was attacking a young member of your family, you'd better have something that corroborates it.

Eg, if the kid is covered in the corpse's spunk.

There could be a hundred different other motives (eg he caught the guy banging his wife).

Cue a chorus of....'no no, he is guilty, he must be, it's in the newspapers'

This is why we have law courts, and not just vox populi on the internet. The uninformed passing judgment on the unspeakable.

I agree.

And there may well be something that substantiates his story, but this is not an open and shut case, else everyone with a grudge against someone would bash their nemesis to death and use a similar justification.

The child may be old enough to testify, I don't know.

The onus is on the Defence here. The plea they enter may be justifiable homicide, but it can't be self defence. Insanity doesn't work either here.

We're not on a jury, and aren't required to offer a presumption of innocence.

I mentioned in both my posts that it could be a set-up- in any case, the results of the test performed on the girl will be available in a few weeks, and will certainly have some bearing on whether the father will face any charges.

That said, this is a situation that many posters who have children can relate to- if you have a problem with someone judging the suspected molester, perhaps other posters have a problem with your judgement of them.

They may be judging the molester, but the person in the dock is the guy who killed him.

So presumably one would want all the evidence to be explored thoroughly. Would that be a fair comment?

Of course, and it is being explored (according to the article)- people (myself included) tend to come to conclusions based on available information, though, and you can't really call them 'sheep' for having a visceral reaction toward mentally putting themselves in the same (supposed and apparent) position the father was in.

Right now I'm on the side of the father- if something new is discovered, I reserve the right to change my opinion later- I don't think that's being 'led by the nose' but rather a call based on prima facie evidence- speculation is fair game at this preliminary stage.

you should be used to teak doors kangaroo court by now Moog, FFS most of the news we get is not followed up

i am interested to see the outcome of this. In the UK i reckon the killer would do some jail time due to over sufficient force

Do keep an eye on it FS and let us know the outcome, as updates to the case should be interesting and potentially precedent-setting.

Pakis have the monopoly on kiddy fiddling here right now so our softie lawlords will probably try to level the field and give White paedos (and yes there are many) more serious time than these fucking organised Paki gangs.
Every fucking day it hits the news, even the BBC left wing immigration lovers are starting to report these abuses.
Good on this Texan feller, can anyone imagine their own kid getting what his son got ?

just read the news today and it states that in child sexual abuse cases there is an epidemic world wide.
seems the internet is revealing all in tracking the culprits.

If true, the guy should go free. I just hope he had the sense to beat the guy out of view of his child. No need to traumatize the girl twice.

Even if he doesn't have to serve time the father has not only got to live with this horrible experience for the rest of his life but others less understanding people in the community will be suspicious of him.

It's not a very nice world we live in.

If the molester was black and the father white, the Black horde would be calling for his arrest and conviction. (And we want jobs too!)

A grand jury failed to bing charges- it's done- no surprise there:

Grand jury: No indictment against father who killed daughter's alleged abuser - CNN.com

Grand jury: No indictment against father who killed daughter's alleged abuser

(CNN) -- A Lavaca County, Texas, grand jury did not return an indictment against a father who killed a man he found allegedly sexually abusing his daughter, officials said Tuesday at a press conference in Hallettsville, Texas.
"The substantial amount of evidence showed that the witness statements and the father's statement and what the father had observed was in fact what had happened that day," Lavaca County District Attorney Heather McMinn told reporters.
The father, who will not be charged, is not being named by CNN to protect the identity of his daughter.
The father called 911, and he and his family tried to "save the life" of alleged attacker Jesus Mora Flores "despite what they had just witnessed," McMinn added.
McMinn told CNN that Flores, 47, was not an acquaintance of the family.
According to the Lavaca County Sheriff's Office, the father and his family had gathered for a horse shoeing last Saturday at their ranch where they keep horses and chickens.
There were seven people in attendance in total, including four members of the family, two acquaintances and a stranger to the family, who was the alleged molester. According to McMinn, the alleged abuser was a legal worker from Mexico.
His 5-year-old daughter had gone off toward the barn, to feed the chickens, the child's grandfather told CNN affiliates KSAT and KPRC.
Then her father heard screaming and ran. He found a man sexually abusing his daughter, according to Sheriff Micah Harmon.
The father stopped the alleged abuser, and then pounded him repeatedly in the head, killing him, authorities said.
On the recorded 911 call, the father can be heard crying, and telling the operator, "I need an ambulance. This guy was raping my daughter and I beat him up. And I don't know ... I don't know what to do."
Later in the call, when the operator tells the caller, "I'm working on it if you can hold on," the emotional father says, "The guy's dying on me!"
McMinn also told CNN the child's grandfather and aunt both administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Neither officials nor the family's attorney, V'Anne Huser, took questions from reporters Tuesday but Huser said in light of the grand jury's decision, "in our opinion, today, the story is over."
McMinn told CNN she had "never seen a case this clear" in her career.
The incident occurred outside the town of Shiner, a community between Houston and San Antonio that has about 2,000 people within its city limits and another 1,500 or so on its outskirts, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

there is Jusice afterall

Hopefully this will be a lesson to all pediophiles.
