Justifiable....

A Texas father has not been arrested and is unlikely to face charges after he beat a man to death for trying to molest his 4-year-old daughter at their rural ranch, authorities said Monday. 

So what does the Ladd Everitt and the CSGV have to say to this one?  Should he be prosecuted for murder? What would one have them have done in the same circumstance?

I saw this too... Hope the DA understands no sane jury would every convict this guy of anything more than breach of the peace.

If said DA persists, this case would serve as a poster child for jury nullification!

either that or temporary insanity.

I would have shot him, no doubt about it.

Than I would have wondered where the hell I got a daughter.

It's a shame this happened. The father will have to live with what took place but at least he was able to protect his daughter and remove a slim ball from the population.

My guess is that Ladd would have stood by getting video evidence to hand to the police when they arrived because using violence against an attacker is icky.

Ladd and the CSGV have nothing to say about this one. The father didn't use a gun, and only deaths caused by a gun -- "Gun Deaths" (thanks, Weer'd!) -- count as murders.

If the father had used a gun, they would be screaming for his lynching, because in the reality they choose it's unfair to expect a grown man to keep his paws off a 4-year-old girl. In their minds, the molester was innocent; the girl, her father, and the NRA are guilty of provoking him; and LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

Folks

This is Texas.

Penal Code Section 9.31, 9.32, 9.33 explicitly allows use of deadly force to prevent commission of sexual assault and aggravated sexual assault.

The Lavaca County DA and the Grand Jury will briefly meet and the Grand Jury will hand down a "no-bill". After that , they will likely present Dad with a medal, and since they are in Shiner, he will probably also get a cold six-pack of Shiner Beer.

As for Ladd and Company , since no gun was used, they havent even thought about it, but they would still likely be upset by "private self defense" - it spoils their nanny state vision.

God Bless Texas

Yep, this will be the fastest no bill in Texas history. Ladd and his minions won't say a word, no gun, no crime.

I can see it now...

"Your Honor. He needed killin'. The defense rests."

Prosecutor: "We got nuthin'."

Case dismissed.
