stawns Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 The scum he killed doesn't qualify as a human being so I have no issue with celebrating. What you don't seem to want to except is that there are some phenomenally evil MF's out there and occasionally we need to thin the herd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I don't blame the father at all, and would probably react the same way. Even if the force seems excessive, is there a better case for "temporary insanity" than seeing your daughter being molested. However, on the flip-side, what is worse? The trauma of a sexual assualt, or the trauma of watching your father kill a man? Since the sexual assault was already occurring, the events probably only served to cause MORE mental trauma on the poor girl. Lastly, I applaud Heretic for showing empathy to someone who caused his daughter harm. As terrible as an act of pedophilia is, there are usually equally terrible reasons that drove the perpetrator down that path. And even the most horrible people in the world have family who have to suffer associative shame and despair through no fault of their own. Those shrugging off the death of a human being as if it were just another man down in a video game have both my sympathy and disdain... ...except for the "die slowly" poster - he only has the latter.

pimpcurtly Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 This is such a difficult sitation. I imagine that if I caught someone molesting my four year old daughter....I would absolutely snap. So I really can't blame him. We are but mortal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumquats Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 My daughter is about to turn four. I'd expect me to do the same thing or at least not put her in that situation. I already know way too many women (and some men) who were victimized at a young age. Some have coped but I can tell it still haunts them, including my wife and two ex g/fs.

Kumquats Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 the offender deserved to be punished, by LAW........frontier, vigilante justice is never acceptable. The father would have served his daughter better by letting the man be punished legally than by traumitizing her a second time by killing the man.

stawns Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 The justice system is a busine$$, it has little to do with what's truely right and wrong most of the time. In Texas the pedo would have probably have caught a serious sentence at least, but that time would have been spent comparing notes with other pedos in protective custody, and eventually be released to pick up where he left off.

stawns Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I can't find a map of Vancouver but this is Seattle. It shows people who were charged with child molestation, etc. and are back out on the street. So no thank you to the LAW, they are way too lenient on these pieces of trash while people who get caught with a joint spend more time in jail. http://www.city-data...Washington.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrels.Gone.Wild Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I don't believe it is likely that the alleged attacker would have continued after the dad discovered the situation, and so killing him, while a human response to the discovery, was way over the top, I suspect that even beating him would be considered over the top, but I dunno...maybe this law will allow the dad to stay out of jail.

Jester@wraiths.ca Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 The guy's action didn't just save his daughter, it's practically a guarantee that the pedo would have done this again and again (and chances are he may have done it in the past as well). While I believe in compassion and mercy, I don't feel it should be given to people who victimize the helpless. Anyone that victimizes a child doesn't deserve to be shown compassion. In my view, some crimes need to be dealt with that severely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapefruits Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 It matters how he killed him, if he had gone and shot him in the face, or stabbed him in the neck, jail time would and should be a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucklehead Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 The potential for abuse of this type of law is a concern. In this case it is the word of the father against the word of the dead guy and the child who is dealing with witnessing a murder. Perhaps it happened or didn't. It's not much of a stretch to see how you could use this law to set someone up you want dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remy Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 did you read the word ALLEDGEDLY ? , and if you did do you understand the meaning of the word ? . i am willing to bet i have seen more if this world than you have and am quite aware that there are a lot of evil people out there , but until you know the whole story who are you to make a judgement that invovles taking someone's life , have you ever seen someone die , have you ever seen the light go out of a persons eye's , i have and i can assure you it's is a really crappy thing to have to deal with , and they way you talk about "thinning the herd " speaks volumes on your actual experiences with death .

Buddhas Hand Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Oh, brother. Get off your high horse. What exactly are you trying to argue here? The father walked in on this guy playing a board game and somehow misconstrued it? You're misunderstanding the terminology the way many misunderstand the word "theory" in scientific terms (here's a hint: gravity is still just a "theory"). And oh, the sadness of a human being losing their life ... the humanity! I understand the importance of due process but I can hardly fault the actions of this father.
