I can't blame the man for shooting the pond scum. I would have done the same thing given the chance.

hope they set him free.

Praying they set him free!

He has no excuse for not being a better shot.

sad that he spent more time in prison than the molestor

Shameful that a man who is trying to protect his daughter and other girls is imprisoned but a child molestor is merely put on probation. Well, the system is called the Criminal Justice system when it should be the Victim Justice system.

Molesting a child is attempted murder -- the attempted murder of a family. Some families are shattered by the trauma and die; others recover, but are crippled for life. Those who choose to molest deserve the death penalty for attempting to murder a family, and if the State will not provide justice, it is up to the parents to do so.

That being said: He did the right thing by pleading guilty. In his situation, the only thing a just man can do is kill the person who attempted to kill your family -- then boldly cop to the killing and let the State decide if what you did was murder -- or justice. Attempting to "get away with" the shooting or trying to hide the fact would have made this man no better than the scum he shot.

Anyone who lays a finger on my loved ones might as well dig their own grave before they start out, because if the law doesn't get them, I will. And afterwards I'll march into the courtroom and dare the jury to call me a murderer!

This man is a hero; I only wish he'd have been a better shot. Best wishes to him and his family.

That is why it is important to do these things sober.
