This was good news, 61.

No matter the state (within reason) I think he'd have been found not guilty (if even charged) all due to his reaction on the 911 recording.

If a man is not permited to use force to protect the life and safety of his child, then everything is lost. Thank God we live in a country that places value on the right to defend one's family and property.

I wonder why Paul hasn't weighed in on this topic??

I wonder why you imply that he might not agree with this.

I have no problem with it, it's clear he did not set out to kill this man. I wonder though how the case would have been handled had the father pulled the attacker off his daughter and shot him in the head.

Being under the emotional distress of having to rescue his 5 year old daughter from a vicious attacker, he would never have been convicted, probably not even charged, in the state of Texas. Child predators get very little, if any, sympathy in the Lone Star State.

I'm definitely not suggesting the attacker deserved any sympathy, but we do have a judicial system for a reason, and please understand that I'm only asking questions out of curiosity and personally am not sure how I would feel about it, but I am curious, you think that had the father pulled the attacker off his daughter and threw him to the ground and it was clear that the attacker was unarmed, that if the father than decided to basically execute the guy on the spot that he would have walked?

Man with pants down attacking a 5 year old. Father steps in and stops assault. In the heat of the moment shoots would-be child rapist. Even if he was indicted it is highly doubtful that any jury in Texas would convict him. Of the 12 most would probably be a parent. You only need one to say no. Yep, I am confident he would walk.

MTPiKapp would you send the father to prison ? Yes or no.

This falls under the "he needed killin' your honor" defense. I am not a parent but I will tell you this that if I ever came upon something like that happening woe be on the sick bast....err, attacker!!

Once you have children of your own all this becomes very black and white. Sometimes folks without kids allow a grey area to develop in their mind. I would show no mercy if my son were the victim.

In other news, Sandusky's son just stated that he was molested as a child by his father. And that's game fellas.

Did I imply that? Are you his defender now?

Next...He could have shot this trash 20 times in the head. There isnt a court in the land that would convict.

Not even convicted felons show mercy to child molesters. Often times these sickos are singled out and brutally beaten or killed in prison.

There are some crimes that simply cannot be forgiven, and all of us regardless of station in life agree. Once you have children of your own you simply cannot forgive a child molester. It is worse than murder in my book.

Correct. Child molesters/rapist are at the absolute bottom of the pecking order behind bars. If they aren't segregated, woe is them.
