I subscribed to this thread earlier on today and just don't understand how the responses have got steadily more and more extreme with no regard to what actually happened. Consider that it is really quite difficult to kill someone with punches to head unless you continue long after it's necessary. I'm not sure this thread belongs on a shaving forum.
This is another case, sort of like the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman thing (not that I want to reopen THAT whole can of worms!), in which we will never know all of the truth because one of the parties is dead. But if that (dad catching a molester in the act) is indeed what happened, I completely understand what the father did.
Too bad a guy like that was not around when Jerry Sandusky "mentored" his first boy. Talk about a calculating predator. Every time I see him on the news, and read the recaps of another day's sickening testimony, I think up new tortures for him...
Maybe we just have a different take on pedophiles here in the US. As to your thoughts on this thread not belonging on a shaving forum, well this is the "Conversation" forum where most topics can be discussed and debated.Quote:

Its quite easy to knock out or be knocked out, its usually the fall that kills.
If I'm not mistaken, hanging as well as firing squad are still considered legal methods of execution in several states.Quote:

It was live or die for all three of them. Thank God the young father won.
If any message is sent here by the Grand Jury, it is not that vigilantes are alive in Texas; it is that Child Molesters should reconsider applying their trade in Texas.
Hanging I do not think so,Firing squad, yes,Utah.Great read by the way about Gary Gilmore,(shot thru the heart)Quote:

I have a little boy, almost two years old, and my wife and I are in the planning stages of his sibling-hopefully a little girl. As a parent now, all I can say is if my children are EVER in that situation and I catch the perpetrator in the act, there is no telling the lengths of midevil I will go to exact my revenge on that lowlife POS-lawyers and courts be damned.
