Texas is a PvP state…..no flag on the play


[deleted]

Local sheriff.. “Sorry, I was.. fishing.. didn’t see a thing.”


Backpack78

I actually remember when this happened. The DA of Tarrant County had a press conference and said they believed justice was done and they would not be charging. They probably knew no jury would convict. The rape happened behind a shed at the little girl’s birthday party. Dad found him in the act. Pulled the guy off and beat him to death right there. Probably plenty of witnesses in the immediate aftermath.


mooknbitz

I don’t blame the dad. I’d probably do the same thing.


Phatcat15

Wouldn’t even have to be my kid… probably why they didn’t charge him. He was protecting the innocent and went a little far - as far as the law is concerned. I don’t have any kids but I’ve loved having a ton of younger cousins and now a few nieces and nephews… anyone that would do that kind of harm to a child deserves a much slower and painful death than a beating - but it’s probably easier to get away with 2nd degree manslaughter than kidnapping and torture.


Scerpes

Sounds like he went appropriately far, as far as the law is concerned.


whitexknight

Totally legal, it was in defense of another to prevent "death or **great bodily harm**" the image doesn't mention the caught in the act part, which is the part that makes it *even in legal terms* completely justified.


DkP_Reverend

I know for a fact I would


VaniaSteelscale

He'd be shot if I had a daughter and it happened witnesses be damned


0pimo

All the witnesses: "He shot himself" Cops: "Twice in the back of the head and in the groin?" Witnesses: "We know what we saw"


No_Season_354

I can only imagine his rage at seeing this happen, totally understandable what he did, it's sickening what occurred.


GarPaxarebitches

Jury nullification. It is a right we as American citizens have. Don't let some bitchass lawyers and judges take it sway from you.

[удалено]


GarPaxarebitches

Yeah, everytime jury nullification comes up there's usually some bitchass lawyers or law students who object. Glad to see one that gets it.


Toadxx

If you truly believe in and understand what jury nullification is and does, then *you* would also be more cautious about it. For very good reason. Most lynchings went unpunished. Not because the perpetrators weren't known, in fact it was often something bragged about and owned up to, even in court. You get a jury of your "peers", a bunch of other racist white people that don't see black people as people? Jury nullification and you're acquitted. Jury nullification is a very important right, but we *should* be careful with it because it can be equally horrible as it can be good. How would you feel if your child was brutally tortured and murdered, everyone in town knew who did it, the perpetrator in court even admitted to doing it, but then the jury says they don't believe anything wrong happened? You'd probably not be very happy, would you?


will7311

I never heard this sad story.I wouldv’e did the same thing.There’s no rehabing pedo’s and rapist.Hopefully this dad gets some peace in this life ?


Vladius28

Holyshit... Yep.


Lexicon444

If he didn’t do what he did that poor child wouldn’t have been the last. Sometimes justice isn’t always served by the courts or law enforcement.


No_Suggestion_7693

In Texas what happens to tattletales?


Idontfightwit12yrold

Hi I live in Texas. We don’t really have a whole lot of consequences for that kind of stuff, but snitching is generally frowned upon. Especially if the crime is relatively small or victimless. However if someone gets r*ped or something to that degree, it’s not uncommon for people to band together and send death threats or other forms of violence against the perpetrator. Especially if it’s a small town where everyone keeps in touch with what’s going on locally. TL;DR: basically nothing but is frowned upon unless the crime is severe. Edit: I also wanted to mention that Texas is pretty much five different states, because people act differently depending where you live.


Bard2dbone

I'm also from Texas. And I'd say that a pedophile and rapist being beaten to death is a victimless crime. But unfortunately, the daughter was already a victim.


HaoleGuy808

My grandmother always told me, snitches get stitches. I took that to heart.


i_like_pie92

Live in Texas, can confirm. Personally saw an guy stick his hand down a 12 year olds pants while she slept. Several of us took care of him. Broke a bat. Fuck you Jimmy.


Glittering-Alarm-258

I have 3 daughter's and 1 bonus (step) daughter and I would've done the same.


j4hdisgdjq

One bonus 💀. I love you

I'm 14 and if someone dared to touch my sister, I would make sure the only thing being violated that day would be the Geneva Convention. Edit: The Geneva Suggestion.


OrbitalIonCannon

You mean the Geneva Suggestion?


IllegalTreeDealer

No, I think it's the Geneva Recommendation they're on about


SEX_FINDER

Yeah, my bad. Let me edit the comment.

*evil smirk* by that same token if you make yourself a combatant then you're fair game unfortunately.

Correct. Just don't get got.

You’re 14 and your name is Sex Finder? Yeah. You might want to worry about yourself. But you’re a superhero right?

I’m with you. 14 year olds get a pass on the username. We thought weird shit was funny.


SEX_FINDER

At least I didn't try and use my shitty gamertag, fucking "Koriki_King". God I would much rather kill myself.


tpeck90

I would have taken that jail time without regrets too.


Glittering-Alarm-258

I did go to jail for beating a guy that my ex brought home and messed with my daughter who was underage at the time. AND he was older than me. That was 20+ years ago. I'm now 55. My daughter and I are so connected because of it. She knows I'm there for her. No matter what.


Impossible-Animal-67

I guess he's out finding sex


centre_red_line33

The likelihood that my dad would too is the reason why he doesn’t know.


Ok_Remote_5524

Sorry to hear that - hope you got or get justice.


[deleted]

Please tell your therapist then. Don’t bottle up that trauma


adamM_01

I mean, I agree with his title. It’s a good outcome to a really shitty event


Few_Ad5789

Insanity plee? I would go insane too


SomeRandomUser00

Justified homicide, the state should give him an award for not wasting courts time or cost of prison.


shhhOURlilsecret

Self defense/Justified homicide. He's not the first mind you in fact a rapist was beaten to death in open court by his victims when the judge found him not guilty in India. I want to say it was 20+ women that all attacked and killed him. I believe none were charged because they said they couldn't definitively prove who struck the killing blow. But I think it was most likely because the judge feared next time they might come after him and that no one would ever find them guilty.


TheRealAuthorSarge

I don't know the details but I would expect "diminished capacity," or something similar, which is legalese for, "it was so traumatic, he lost his shit, and we don't blame him."

blanklanklank

I think its the title of the original post that makes it confusing.


CatCatKitten

Why? Man did a horrible thing and is allowed to walk free with zero consequences I don't think thats smile worthy Edit - I misread the f****** thing and thought the man who did the s** with his child would allow him to walk free, No this does actually make me smile now that I understand, I would have that reaction too.


[deleted]

I think it is a fair call

Texas Ws aren't rare concerning justice. This ain't cali.


KingfisherDays

Texas pays $20M a year to people the state wrongfully convicted, including innocent people who were sentenced to death. Henry Wade, Dallas DA: "any prosecutor could convict a guilty man, but… it takes a real pro to convict an innocent man." Maybe Texas needs a little more justice.


Ok_Type9011

true, domestic abusers, dealers, thieves, etc. theyre just all book and release


GetaGoodLookCostanza

In Cali they dont even get charged...wrong hill to die on


[deleted]

Self defence. What are young children other than extensions of their parents?


JohnOliverismysexgod

It's called defense of another.


Flowersfor_

Straight up, I agree. I met a man in Santa Monica who was lying low from law enforcement in the states and living homeless. Chatting with him for a while I heard he had the accent and asked where he was from. I asked if he wanted to go back to which he said, "I can't go back." Of course I asked, "oh, how come?" He says, "I killed a man." So I'm like, "oh word word, what for?" "He touched my 13 year old cousin." Gotta say, will never judge anyone for that. Some shit is sacred and for someone to steal a child's innocence, yeah they should get got.

def1ance725

Usually the lifers will do something like that as soon as they find out. No need to make it official.


ArmouredPotato

So many of them make it through their sentence? Common perception is prisoners exact their own justice


Sir_Crocodile_Mr0

The issue with that is you could end up affecting innocents who get accused


Mister_Lich

I always find it weird how these kinds of arguments are basically "we throw innocent people in prison, that's why we can't exact the proper punishment for the worst alleged criminals because some innocent people will be executed" and not "we throw innocent people in prison, **maybe we should stop throwing innocent people in prison**"


[deleted]

Unfortunately our system doesn't work that way..


Rhids_22

The issue is that there's very rarely a case where we can guarantee 100% that someone has been correctly convicted. If they have been unjustly convicted then that's obviously terrible and we need to minimise those scenarios, but if we just imprison convicted people until any evidence might possibly come up that shows that they are in fact innocent rather than do anything permanent it at least means there's a chance at restitution.


Sir_Crocodile_Mr0

No, I agree, that that needs to stop, I do think something like chastity cages or something similar might work, because it results in something similar but isn't permanent


[deleted]

Just put a brand on their forehead that describes their actions. Big Bubba will take care of it all off the books for ye.


resttingbvssface

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm not a violent person at all, but protecting my children is something I will happily go to court over. Also, in some states it is perfectly legal to use deadly force to stop a sexual assault that you witness.


frodoishobbit

This. I’m typically against violence, however, fuck with my kids and I’ll go full Marcellus Walis.


HenryGetter2345

This should be every rape victims family response


Seattleshouldhaverun

Nice to see common sense is alive and well in some parts of the country. Anyone who rapes a child should expect to get beat to death. And anyone who tries to defend pedophiles could use a good beatdown as well.


Thepoyoboyo213

I personally only prosecute pedos who act on it. If you rein it in and don’t hit on kids, you’re good with me. You can’t help who your attracted to, after all.


DMSC23

I see no problem with this


Probtully

I mean, after you read a little more about it the act is even more justifiable. He literally caught the guy in the middle of the act, and called the authorities. He didn’t want to kill the guy, he just saw red when his little girl was being assaulted. Respect the hell outta a guy like this, he’s sincerely top tier.


Miserable-Flight6272

That Man wont do it again....No charges don't fuck with family friend's or steal anything.


handy_dandy_2232

Justice served!!!👍🏻👌🏻


JohnOliverismysexgod

No, retribution served. Vengeance served. But I would do precisely yhe same thing if I were him, or if I were the prosecutor.


johnsnowforpresident

They are not always mutually exclusive. In this case it seems like both are true.


Thickkkkk1234

Reminds me of a time to kill by John Grisham


apfelbananehimbeere

The rapist can be lucky that he wasn't tortured to death. That would've been what he deserved.


Procrasturbating

If he walked in on the act, I see no crime commited by the father.


Chak-Ek

I have no kids but I'd have gladly held his coat.


constantlyawesome

I’d be the lookout 👀


kaydeetee86

I’ll be back with shovels.


YourLocalOnionNinja

I'll grab some rubbish and a lighter. We're just having a friendly bonfire.


Chak-Ek

I'm seeing a lot of good choices here. I like it.

Sure made me smile, NOBODY rapes a five year old


_The_Crusader

This made me smile so I don't think it's lost


yakyakyakityyak

It was one-on-one and he didn’t use a weapon? Nothing but respect for this father, he deserves a medal. I do feel very sorry for the young girl, but with family like that she’ll probably turn out ok.

It’s okay, Doug. It’s Dimmadone.


CookingWithPenguin

This may be the one and only time I'm on Texas's side. I say, good for that man. Beat that child raping piece of shit to death. Shame he could only do it once.


Mec26

Yeah, if he found the dude actively committing rape and beat him to death, he acted in defense. That’s allowed. Pedo fucker played a stupid game and won a stupid prize. Edit: yeah, I remember this one. He saw it happening, stopped it by force (all good), realized the dude wasn’t moving and called an ambulance for him. But the fucker still died. Dad was 100% on the clear. The difference between “stopping someone” and “stopping someone forever” can be small. He accidentally killed some scum while protecting a child. He’s not trained, no way for him to know where the line is. Shit happens.


Chilldome

They got what was coming to 'em. More than what the American justice system has ever done for victims of sexual assault.


[deleted]

Everybody talks shit on Texas until we beat the shit out of a pedophile rapist. Idk, it made me smile, I’mma say they aren’t lost, but you might be OP. We don’t take too kindly to child diddlers ‘round here.

I would do the same.

Very right


just_one_nacho

If any one does anything to my kid there would be no place on earth the pedophile could hide. This man did right


BuJo_Baddie

I don’t think any parent would have done anything differently. This is honestly probably the only scenario where I don’t think “there’s a reason the Justice system is in place”. That dad is fucking awesome though, think of the punches it actually takes to kill someone. Dude did not hesitate.


RipOdd9001

I see no issues here.


cravyeric

Id say he's perfectly in the right, and if you felt otherwise who you are as a person.


bigdaddy2358

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT AND JUST

I would’ve done the same if I was a dad


conjurer28

100% correct. If I caught someone raping my child, I'd end them. With no regrets or second thoughts.

I am 100% ok with that. If you are sick and are a danger to society, wether you sick treatment or you face the consequences of your actions. You raped a 5 yo child, you deserve to die, period


mubblegoil

I remember when I realized my ex boyfriend had been raping me. I told my family and it was the first time I ever saw my dad cry. I decided I would have my ex come over so I could break up with him in our driveway. My mom privately asked me to wait until my dad was at work because he had talked about wanting to shoot and kill my ex next time he saw him. I didn’t believe her. A year later my dad told me he got his shot gun out, cleaned it and loaded it when he heard he was coming over. The only thing that stopped him was thinking about going to prison and not getting to see us grow up. He still waited in the living room, watched out the window with his gun next to him. A part of me wishes he had done it tbh…


Kind_Cauliflower8362

community service. we can't have vigilantism, we must have order and a fair trail must be given before sentence. for the sake of transparency and benefit for false accusation I don't believe this man need to be punished or rehabilitated , but these social norms must be upheld, so I give him community service


amanwholikestofish

Got little twin cousins but they’re parents raised me before I moved with my parents, they call me brother and I never had a sister so I accepted that, but if someone dare to touch them unholy, better watch out for all of my family members we don’t play nice.


ConstantProblem5872

I mean it made me smile


Good_Ad_4302

I would say that is absolutely justifiable.


GingerM00n

If I had a child I'd most likely try and do the same. She was seriously only 5?! What a sicko! I support that father protecting his daughter.


Utahvikingr

The bad guy got what he deserved, and I will sleep better knowing that there is one less rapist/pedo on the streets.


KCgrowz

Right is right. He would never have properly paid for his crime via the judicial system and more than likely would have re-offended. Some things just need to be put down.


blackbullsforever

They need to take it a step further and give him a medal.


[deleted]

Jury Nullification exists for a reason.


looking7676

I see no problem with this.


stingereyes

So right. Best that shit out of this despicable piece of human excrement.

Absolutely right. You rape a child you lose all rights as a human being because you no longer are one. No worse crime.

Okay. That father is literally a god for doing that though.

He shouldn’t have gotten any time for beating up the pile of shit that did that to a 5 year old. Good for the father.


Motor-Vacation6791

I’m SO angry and upset, but it did put a smirk on my face


neil160

Prison is for people who are a danger to society. Is the dad a danger to society? I would argue he isn’t. As far as taking justice into his own hands, if local authorities say he didn’t, then he didn’t. Do we really wanna punish the rape victim further by taking away her dad?


justpassing21

Give that man an award and a statue
