“...Sorry.”
I would choose not to kill anyone and would probably be remorseful if I did. Molest my daughter? You’re toast.
"The 47-year-old man's identity has not been released. Detectives spent all day looking for his relatives, but apparently they are in the country of Mexico. So until they can track them down, investigators will not be able to give us any more information.
I suppose they might be there on a family vacation...
Manslaughter at worse. Question would be did he intend to kill the guy.
Remorseful?
Perish the thought-—along with the molester.
He rid the world of a great evil, and he had every right to do so.
No bill.
“.... such a clear cut case if it happened someplace in the North East”.
I agree with you, HG. Not 100% sure what the exact charge would be (murder 2 or manslaughter) but I do believe a LOT of states wouldn’t use common sense with this. I think they would definitely charge and let the jury decide (hurting the little girl even more). I am glad Texas has common sense.
Agreed. The northeast is a screwy place.

This guy deserves a trophy or a metal of some kind!
Even if it had not been his own child, a good beating causing death to that pervert was correct.
“Aggravated” generally means the actor was using deadly force. If the perpetrator was using deadly force against this guy’s daughter, then absent any intervening circumstances, yes, it is probably justifiable homicide according to the statue.
There is no way any grand jury here would indict a guy for killing a man in the act of molesting his daughter.
There's some stupid laws around here, but that's just silly.
According to the news, he apparently was an illegal also!
I think I would have killed him MUCH slower!
One less democrat.....one less perv for the left to coddle and protect.
“Even if it had not been his own child, a good beating causing death to that pervert was correct.”
And I see no difference whether the pervert was shot dead, stabbed to death, or was beaten to death. The man saved the child. He did what he had to do. One doesn’t stand around in an emergency thinking what to do.
Remorseful?
What has he got to be remorseful about?
He saw a predatory animal in the act of attacking his 4 year old daughter, and he killed it.
This animal posed a clear and present danger and needed killing.
I hope he recovers from his remorse soon. He did the right thing! He protected his own child and God knows how many others.
I think the guy simply wished he didn;t have to kill anyone and is sorry it came to that. I certainly do not think he is sorry he saved his daughter by whatever means necessary. No telling what this animal would have done after molesting her...he easily could have killed her.
I know I would do the same if I came across it with any of my three daughters (all grown now) or any of my eight grandchildren. The person would die, but whatever means I had available.
Reminds me of a case in Indianapolis years ago when we lived in Cincinnati. A man brutally raped then beat a young girl and left her for dead. But she survived and identified her assailant. He was found guilty but a liberal/lenient judge gave him a slap on the wrist, like 5-10 years. As they walked the perp through the airport to fly him to the State Pen, a man stepped out from next to a drinking fountain and shot the rapist dead. Turned out it was the girl’s father. He was indicted and it went to trial for murder one. It was clearly premeditated. He was found innocent by the jury. Temporary insanity. No pen, no state mental hospital. He went home to his family and the rapist got the justice he deserved. Jury nullification if I had ever seen it.

give this guy a medal
If i cousght someone molesting my daughter I would STILL be beating his dead corpse
“...Sorry.”
I wouldn’t be remorseful in a situation like this.
The man chose to harm his daughter, that’s it.
