TheFleetwoodMack Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yes...having an 8 year old lil girl that I love to pieces, I can honestly feel my blood start to boil just thinking about this happening to her. In no way am I "celebrating the death" of this pedo but it would be hypocritical of me to condemn this father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electro Rock Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'd beat a chester to death even it wasn't my kid or my family, that's what people like are for as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'm out to lunch for calling out the gleeful cheers of "F yeah, that thing isn't human and I'd have totally done worse and not bad about it?" What the man did is completely understandable, the reaction of everyone else isn't -- clearly the father isn't even on board with the "justice is served" if he felt he needed the man to be alive as he called 911. I respect him for that. The reason I've brought up the public execution analogy is to highlight the disgusting need for some people here to find some fulfillment in someone dying even if they didn't know them in any way. They are no different than crowds that'd cheer on a lynching or the death of a well known terrorist by marching the streets. Death can be a much needed solution but no one should revel in the joy of it. Is there a collective asshole everyone is pulling out these non sequiturs from?

hudson bay rules Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I highly doubt any of you warriors would actually keep beating someone 'til they are dead. Go back to your GTA 4. Texas is screwed up. You all know that deep down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudson bay rules Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I don't think most people are saying that, though. What people are saying is that it is UNDERSTANDABLE that if in a similar horrific incident, a lot of fathers would react the same way. Hell, people lose their cool when someone steals stuff from their car. It is only natural for a parent to be protective over their children's safety.

Monty Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 This is the point isn't it? Beat the guy until you can save the kid, run into the house, lock the door, get yer gun and call the cops and wait 'til they come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudson bay rules Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 it's fine and dandy to say that now, but in the heat of the moment, you're not going to be as reserved in your decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Well, if rage supersedes the need to protect the child then rage is the thing that should get looked into. As another poster mentioned, this happening in Texas is part of the equation. We all know that you don't mess with Texas. If it happened elsewhere it likely would have been looked into with far, far more scrutiny There were no other witnesses apparently. Maybe 5 years probation and mandatory counselling is appropriate? Dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'm with Hodor on this. I don't remotely blame the father for doing what he did. In fact he should be commended for attempting to save that sick bastard's life. It was the right thing to do in a VERY unfortunate situation. I don't envy the man having to live with not only not being able to stop his daughter from being raped and the corresponding guilt he must feel but the knowledge that he took another person's life with his own hands... I hope he gets some counseling to help him work through that or he's likely to have some pretty severe issues. That girl deserves the best father she can after what she's been through and he could very easily slip in to a very dark place after what's happened that wouldn't be good for either of them. That said all the cheering for another person's death on here is sickening. Life is fragile and none of us should so casually disregard another's. Taking another person's life is something I hope none of you ever have to experience for your own sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelownaCanucksFan Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 As a victim of sexual abuse the father saved his daughter from many many more years of hurt. The worse part about my experience was knowing the bastard was alive and when he was released, because in Canada our justice system is a joke, I would get anxious and not want to go out, even though I'm 30 now it still happens, still causes anxiety attacks. The girl will need years of counselling and good strong family support, but she will never have to look behind her wondering if that sick bastard is there, he's dead and they and her can focus on healing. I believe "true justice" was served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I don't think that anybody has the right to decide that another person should die, as seems to be the train of thought in many posts on here. However, I have absolutely no sympathy whatsoever for the rapist. He was clearly a disgusting excuse for a human being, and from the article it would appear that it was not the father's intention to kill him. I feel terrible for the girl and the scarring that the event will cause. She's been robbed of her innocence and that isn't fair. I agree with a lot of Hodor's points, but I think that her attitude/wording can be pretty abrasive and that sometimes takes away from the content of her posts (Sorry Hodor - I genuinely don't want to cause offence. Just something I've noticed. Hell, maybe it's just me). EDIT: In saying that, In The Slot seems to be 100x worse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 remorse? for a man that rapes 5 yr old children? human being? that rapes 5 yr old children? thats not a human being, that is an animal...go feed your kid to a pedo or someone you love and say that...yes i am sure you'd like to sit down with that person after they do this to a loved one and say 'its ok, i will get you help, i know you are troubled'. i am the moral equivalent of jesus i will forgive your sins, even if you stuck your kawk in IN MY 5 YR OLD DAUGHTER.. ya thats what these guys do...and you're going to say, no need to get so graphic, no need to say that stuff...YES THERE IS A NEED BECAUSE THINK ABOUT IT, THAT'S WHAT HE DID... idiot you act like you have some 'moral superiority' .this isn't philosophy 101 kid, its real world, its an animal attacking a CHILD. i don't have remorse for a bear that attacks a tree planter in PG and mauls them when a park ranger puts them down. why should i have remorse for this animal?
