From some of the reports I have read, they heard screaming and some of the guests came with him, and that there are 12 witnesses.

What I expect to see soon on here:
"They guy should have just punched him till he was unconscious then call the police, the guy is a murderer"
I say the father was ENTIRELY within his right and did the right thing. I just hope two things......
1. he gets no punishment
2. He didn't bust his hand up too much.
You forgot:
3. I hope the little 4-year-old girl didn't see this happen.
I'm actually ok with that part.... she was traumatized by the sexual assault, seeing her father beat the man down (who happened to die from the beat down) showed her that the guy was wrong, she wasnt. That takes away a lot of the guilt and trauma that assault victims have to face. So.... I hope she did watch it. I hate it that she saw someone die, but I'm glad she got to see the beating (that just happened to result in death).
Do you think they going to stop a father for beating up a guy for raping his four year old daughter? They will join in and help the dad.

Could you provide proof of this report? It just seems odd that 12 witnesses just took a front row viewing, and no one stepped in to do anything about this fight? Or is this some warped American pastime

If you can ask nicely without being facitious, I will.
Like it or not, just because someone molests your child, you don't have the right to murder them. That may sound crude and inflammatory, but it's the way it is. A loathsome crime does not justify deliberate, calculated, rage-driven murder... and that's exactly what this is.

I disagree, and I'm proud to be the type of redneck you apparently don't like much. Because, as such a redneck, I highly doubt I'll ever be a victim of a "loathsome crime" as you call it. Criminals pick on victims, they don't pick on other criminals. I'll be your potential rage-driven murderer if it serves as a deterrent to keep opportunistic criminals away from my children.
Suppose we are having a birthday party, and you and I are both guests with our children, and everybody there knows our respective stances on the issues, and a pedophile decides to sneak off with one of the kids...... do you suppose they will pick yours or mine?
Molesting your child means you will call the police, and they will get a chance to plead their defense, possibly avoid prison altogether, and if they do go to prison as a first-time offender they'll get minimum security, counseling and early release, whereas abusing my child means certain and gruesome death, and if there are no witnesses they'll get a shallow grave in my back acreage, if there are witnesses, they'll still be dead, plus get their name and reputation slandered all over the press, because only my side of the story gets told. They have an uncontrollable sexual urge from mental incapacity, but they have typical risk/reward decision-making skills, who's child do you suppose they will choose to take a risk on?edit on 12-6-2012 by getreadyalready because: (no reason given)
