Man kills pedophile with his fists, will not be charged. Faith in humanity +1.

A big win for everyone against sexual advances on children:

Long story short, sick fuck grabbed his daughter off the street and carried her off, boy saw it and went to find the father, father found sick fuck, and caved his worthless skull in with thunderous blows from his mighty fists of justice. One less pedophile infecting our world. Guy goes to court, they go "nah thats good" and he gets charged with precisely nothing.

The fact that the court decided that beating a pedophile to death with your bare hands is ok restores a little faith in humanity, at least enough to offset the fact that this waste of skin tried to do what he did at all.

This story's over a year old (dated 2013/09/02), JSYK. And while I am certainly going along with everyone else and saying the father was justified in defending his child like that (what decent human parent wouldn't?), the guy appeared to have a lot of remorse at the fact he actually killed someone.

I just hope that little girl's safe and happy. Having something that traumatic happen to you at such a formative and vulnerable age often leaves deep scars which last for life. May she get whatever help she needs as she grows up, and may all children be safe from this evil.

On one hand it sets a dangerous precedent, but on the other hand justice has prevailed so fair play.

Slightly of off topic, but there's an interesting documentary being shown over here on Tuesday called 'The Paedophile Next Door', about a paedophile who has chosen to come clean on his desires and seek help. I commend him for doing that. It takes a lot of courage to seek help on such a sensitive matter. It'll be interesting to get an insight into the workings of his mind and how they treat pedophilia.

The bastard got what he deserved.

Why is killing someone OK? Stupid American laws.

I don't think criminals get the punishment that they deserve, at least not in Europe. There should be a website where every murderer, rapist, paedophile and those who are cruel to animals should be listed. Everyone should know if there are any of these people near their neighbourhood.
I like this story and i hope more people takes the law into their own hands, especially against animal cruelties who never gets any sort of punishment.

I understand the situation and everything, but killing? In what way is that "justice"?

[NomadZXZ]

First of all.... that is in Texas (which is like its own country within a country). I certainly don't condone killing someone, but I do believe in justice. If any of you fellas (or ladies) had a daughter who was kidnapped, would you not feel the urge to do more than just file a police report? All of that said, the father who killed the pedophile deserves to be punished as well. I just can't entirely condemn someone who has had their child kidnapped. Both parties need to own up to the consequences of their actions.

The guy clearly lost his shit when he saw what was happening...what father wouldn't, it's the exact reaction I would expect. This is not an example of someone taking justice into his own hands. He did not seek revenge, but had real time reaction to what was happening. That is a major difference.

Also, if you read the article you'll see that the guys actions show he didn't plan on killing the guy as he rang the ambulance for him after, thinking that he'd just hurt him.

What would punishing the father achieve exactly? His character is not dangerous or unstable (he did what anyone would have done) and jail time for him means 40,000 dollars on the system and giving an already traumatized child a locked up father. They got this one spot on.

If the story is true...

The sentimental person in me would wish punishment to all pedophiles, but...

We live in a freedom civilization and there's an official court for punishment. Imho punishing is something for the court, not for anyone else. Not even for the army. The justice department and court can do proper research and punish the perpetrator when the suggested facts are proven. Nothing of that in this case happened in this case as the father of the kid did it all by himself, so in my opinion the guy didn't do any good. It would totally destruct our civilization if everyone does it this way and punish innocent people.

Aside of that I'm against killing people....
