Well, at least the prisoner is not running away with those leg irons .... cause I don’t think the guards could catch him if he did.
NOT reasonable. You do NOT shoot a 17 year old kid for this type of thing, PERIOD. We don’t even know if there was any hanky panky going on. Maybe he was hiding because Dad is a nutjob. (Gee, what would make one suspect that?)
All joking aside (and some of it is pretty funny), lifetime paralysis is NOT a justifiable consequence. I don’t think those of you who are tacitly approving this nutjob’s actions know someone facing a lifetime of paralysis. It sucks, something I would not wish on anyone (with a couple jihadist exceptions).
Now he'll be spending the next 20 years in a cage...That will do his family wonders.
The prison time would just about be worth it.
Of course if his lawyer does the voire dire well, he'll be acquitted.

Two things come to mind.
1) “Doctors don’t expect him to regain feeling or mobility below his waist.” So I hope it was fun while it lasted.
2) There are laws which precede and supercede those passed by a legislature.
I thought of that too
LOL!!
We only have boys at my house, but I’ll show this to them.
The kind of girl they should be looking for should have a dad like you.
Thought of that, too. Using "terrorism" in this context desensitizes us (and the law) to actual terrorism. Attempted murder, felonious assault, etc. -- all options. Probably went for the terrorism charge, though, because it carries the harshest penalty.
Watch out for the hype. If he beat the kid bloody, how was the kid able to block the door with a dresser while the old man went to get his gun?
If someone is beat bloody with a cue stick he would not be bouncing right back up.
17 isn’t exactly a young girl.
Lots of girls have sex before age 18....probably even yours.
“Too bad for Guzman, perhaps he learned his lesson.”
Maybe the father will have learned the lesson about showing some self-control when he’s serving 15 to 25 in prison.
Sheesh, I can’t believe anyone would actually defend this.
“doctors don’t expect him to regain feeling or mobility below his waist”
Thats what I’m gonna be going for if I ever find some punk boy in one of my girls closets.
Firing through the bedroom door, not good. He could have hit his daughter for starters. Shooting the kid was over the top.
she was 18!
Yes, 17 is young and you don't know anything about my daughters you pervert, so STFU
“Obviously you have never been a father of a young girl.”
I have been and I took care of a couple of problem boyfriends without resorting to any kind of violence. Anbd I sure as heck wouldn’t have been firing through a door with my daughter on the other side.
“Sorry I shot you and you’ll never walk again honey, but that’s fair punishment for fooling around.”
The dad is an idiot.
Dear Hydroshock, thank you for a greatly needed laugh in an otherwise fairly dismal day: there is a substitute on Rush, Condi is still loose and talking, the Kos convention in Chicago is all over the place, etc. I am also copying this and mailing it to my son who has small children. He can save it for when they grow up and use it then. And he WILL!! Thanks again.
Boys are pretty much insane during the rutting years. Smart parents keep their sons too busy to screw around until they’re old enough to have some sense. I have been that boy in the closet — only I never got caught. (I paid for my sins later, however — with heavy, heavy interest.) A good, solid beating at that age would have saved me (and others in my life) a lot of tears and heartache.
I can sympathize with the father. But to discharge a firearm blindly, especially into a room you know to be occupied? That’s just plain crazy. Righteous anger is one thing, but attempted murder is going too far. Once Daddy’s Little Princess has done the deed, it’s too late for violence. The dad in this case should have thumped Young Romeo soundly, ejected him from the premises, and shifted to Damage Control mode.
felony terroristic act?
That’s is odd isn’t it. I expect he can get off on that charge.
