I’m not seeing what the dad did wrong here.

Hello?

The abuser was tried, convicted and imprisoned. He served his time and was released.

It's not like he was on the lam and the authorities didn't care.

The "dad" decided that the legislature was wrong and the death penalty should have been imposed, for crimes against HIS daughter at least.

That's not the way we do things here.

Well you can’t just go around killing people. No matter how justified you decide their death to be.

Agreed in principle. But forty years makes a mockery of the law.

Maybe this father would have cooled off a little if the judge sentenced the scumbag molester to some serious time. Two and a half years is a joke for raping a child and destroying her life. I've never been arrested in my life but I could see myself killing this scumbag too.

>>The abuser gets 27 months and the loving dad gets 40 years?

Technically, he only got 20 years for killing the molester, the other 20 were for shooting at the guy dating his step-daughter before going on to kill the molester.

Based on that argument, then shouldn’t sex offenders have the opportunity to be removed from the registry? I’m not advocating for that by any means, but if the father can’t act legally after a period of time deemed appropriate by a court, why is the offender registered forever? If we treat the criminal as forever guilty, doesn’t that remove the argument of “effect”?

Again, I feel that sex offenders deserve the lifetime registry; I’m only questioning the “effect” argument.

Was the dead guy still doing something bad that involved the shooter or his daughter?

And every killer needs to go to prison.

Murderer, not killer.

Easiest way to tell the difference these days is to put on a badge - whoosh, no murder.

When the criminal justice system fails you, time to take matters in your own hands. The Dad messed up and either talked or got caught. He should have had a better plan IMHO.

Justifiable homicide.

The state was delinquent in it's duty toward the citizen resulting the the citizen having to fill in the gap.

Send the judge and other pedophile cuddlers to jail for life.

Let the dad go.

effect means basically in the rage of the moment and has a lot to do with “temporary insanity”. You literally do not know what you are doing / can’t control it AND it is perfectly understandable to any common person that they would have acted the same.

In this case, the perps has been back in the community for close to 10 years - and dad certainly knows this. His actions are not based on anything the perp “just did”. It would be quite difficult to find enough people that would simply exonerate him.

As to whether the perp only deserved a 5 year sentence and early release ... not enough facts in the article. Since dad also attacked a third person does not help his case much.

I am a firm believer in keeping a perp behind bars until
1. he has paid his debt AND
2. he longer poses a threat
if both of those are satisfied, he should be rehabilitated. We don’t do that (anymore) so we will always have theses travesties.

Ha I dunno so much. I have lovely fantasies occasionally about my rapist...I hope he died a meaningful death to no one.

Absolutely justifiable homicide.

Commute his sentence.

Every MURDERER needs to go to prison.

Not all killings are murder.

He should have gone to the jury and hoped for nullification.

I’d have voted “not guilty.”

“paying his debt” is a silly concept. If we had slowly roasted the bastard to death it would not have paid anything.

You cannot pay that debt. There is no going back. The only thing you can do is make his punishment horrific and public so that the next sick freak that wants to rape a little girl will suppress those thoughts.

Rehabilitation? No longer poses a threat?

Sure.

The president can only pardon those who have violated a federal law.

“That’s not the way we do things here.”

I don’t know if you noticed but last week an awful lot of people voiced their opinions on the status quo. Seems it’s due for a change.

And if this child rapist was still locked up in a cage he’d still be alive.
