Thread: A father's Love and Rage

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.

Do not know if you have any medical backround (I Do),it is very easy to kill an adult with a blow to the head.

My original point was made about taking the law in to your own hands - we all have opinions about what should be dished out to lawbreakers but my belief is that the hanging tree is not the answer. I thought the US had moved on from this 19th century mentality but some of the posts on this thread make me wonder.

A very good friend of mine got into an altercation at a bar, got hit, hit back once knocking the guy out and causing him to fracturing the rear of his skull hitting the ground. Guy nearly died in hospital from swelling, and suffered permenant brain damage.
Was charged with assult and got probation.
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.

It's one thing to be made aware of a child molester's presence, such as the Sandusky case. I did not see a line to lynch him on the "hanging tree". Our court system has him, as it should.

It's another thing to hear your child scream and find her in the act of being assaulted. What do you think would have happened if that father had not won that fight? Would you be willing to bet the child's life, that the molester would have left either alive?

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)
One of my best friends was killed by a single blow to the head,evulsed his vertibral artery,he was dead before he hit the ground.

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.
