"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 one.
Was there any investigation into whether or not this situation actually went down as it did?
I mean, did the cops just take the guys word that he killed this fellow for sexually abusing his daughter or did they check to see if the guy was actually sexually abusing the daughter?

There are quite a few people and things which leave me feeling disgusted as well, but if I justified murder based on the deceased having done things that offend and disgust me, then certainly I would feel that quite a few murders--perhaps, even, the majority of them--are well justified.
Beyond that, the fact that you and, no doubt, many others as well, can label this murderer a "real man" for literally beating another person to death continues to be profoundly offensive and disturbing to me.

We do not yet know if the guy was molesting anyone, if he was not, then the farther should get the death penalty for murder, eye for a eye & all that.
The farther knew what he was doing, don't give me any of that he did not have any intention or he was insane etc, no matter how you look at it, the farther took someone else's life & is guilty of murder
God cannot judge anyone, because if God does so exist he created the guy who was allegedly molested the girl & he allowed it to happen, God does not exist so it is of irrelevance to suggest God will judge.
If God was here, he would say forgive & forget !
Actually, one of the news reports from the many links that have been posted said the girls underwear had been removed, so yes, he was molesting her. If you wish to continue discussing the story, it is important that you keep up with the progression of the story.
That pretty much negates the rest of your statements.

I read a newspaper story once that said Iraw had WMDs. That is pretty cool how you swallow everything you read and extrapolate a much greater reality from it.
The veracity of this story is no doubt going to come to light and will most likely fall the way that it seems it should but this is ATS.
I expect people to really know what they are talking about and the argument you just made was "Someone told me it was true so you are wrong!"
Come on. We can do better than that can't we?

Forget the glorification of the kill, which seems to be what offends you the most. Enlighten us. What's the proper thing to do in the situation?

I am not even sure what that sentence is actually saying. The word "make" is throwing me off.
So now you have a problem with the fact that I do not just believe everything someone claims they heard?
If the guy was planing to kill the little girl? She would had been dead before her father came to her aid. Instead a news report of a pedo being dead, there would be a pedo and little girl being reported dead in the news.

Unworldly, I actually understand your disgust with the man murdering someone, however I'm more disgusted with pedophiles, what if this guy had a weapon? What if he planned on killing this child after he did his deed? I'm all for self control, but honestly protecting the child is number one. We don't have enough details on what this man was thinking. The bad news is someone died, the good news no more abused children if that is the case. I don't throw myself at 'real mens' feet, I know as a mother I would lose it and a man with higher testosterone levels would be much worse.

Here is more news a about it and the Pedo name is Jesus Flores. Also the grand jury will review whether the father will be charge or not. It also said that the pedo had his pant and undies down. Alsothere were several witness at the seine.edit on 15-6-2012 by kennethmd because: (no reason given)
We will have to wait and see what the verdict the grand jury will announce next week. It most likely be view as causing a accidental death of say person in the defense of a third person. Which will be log in the book and then case close.

It's good to see that the father's story is still holding up through the investigation so far, cementing my opinion that he acted within the law.

This is again assuming the story is actually true. The only actors in this event are the 44 year old man who was killed, the father, and the daughter. It is possible that the father killed him over something else that was not justifiable and then covered it up by involving his daughter. This would be a smart move because it plays on the emotions of the community who basically go on a witch-hunt before objectively determining if everything was true.
Right now all we can do is agree or disagree with the father's story which may or may not be true.

So true, mention the word "child molestation" and people lose their ability to think and just grab their pitch forks.
It seems like this guy was one of the good old boys and the person he killed was probably a Mexican. Those Texas Rangers are a bunch of white guys who don't seem to have a problem with a killing of an innocent person. Texas kills plenty of innocent people. I can see them covering this up. I don't have faith that Texas to conduct an adequate investigation.
I would like to know a little bit more about this guy. They say he was a single father - very few men are single fathers. Why? What happened to his wife? Did he pass a lie detector test?

According to the latest report on the investigation, the little girl's underwear was off and his pants and underwear were pulled down. He was NOT innocent, he was a child molestor and now, he's DEAD and deserves to be.
