I mean I'd go ape shit if someone touched my niece inappropriately and I saw it. But I don't think he can claim insanity, and if he didn't mean to kill him, he would've stopped after one or two blows. Or maybe he just couldn't help himself. I've never been that angry before I don't think. But I mean if it were me, I'd feel horrible for killing another human being, and for the horrible thing that happened to my kid.

I don't think I would've had the strength, and emotions aside, he killed another human being. I didn't think vigilante justice was still legal. He let his emotions get the best of him. (It'd be hard to act rationally, maybe if it were me he'd be badly beaten as most people probably aren't strong enough to kill another human being with their hands alone).

The only thing that worries me is setting a precedent where murdering someone in revenge is allowed as long as what person did is disgusting enough. What's to stop someone from making up a story that can't be proven or disproven, and using it as justification for killing someone? But I agree that in this case murder doesn't seem to have been the intent (although I don't think defense of his daughter was either, after a certain point), and I really hope the father isn't charged with anything. Our children are a little safer with that sick fuck gone.

REALLY LADY?!Yeah in a perfect world that's what he should have done but when it's her daughter she walks in on I'd like to see how composed she stays. Any normal human being would rip the guys guts out.

The girl was left inside the family's house during the social gathering, while other members of her family were tending to horses, the sheriff said.
