Dad kills daughter's attacker

The man should get the Father of the Year Award.

In another report, I read this will go to a grand jury.

I think what caught my attention more than anything was that he beat the other man with his hands. Beat him to death with his hands. I can understand that kind of rage, but I can't imagine actually doing it.

JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON!

If he pounded the guy after he was subdued, it's manslaughter. Though I doubt he would get convicted under the circumstances

if they make it illegal to kill someone, only criminals will be killing people

I don't remember Travon actively sexually assaulting a little girl at the time.
However, he was black, had a hoodie on, and was eating skittles, so I guess it is almost the same.....

I can't imagine a four year old even being allowed to go out alone on a ranch without an adult somewhat nearby.

Hubby and I discussed this last night - both of us agreed that we would do the exact same thing.

The connection, which you don't seem to be able to make is that yes you can beat someone to death. Now where are all the people crying for the police to arrest him, to let a jury decide if he was right or wrong? Where's the investigation? You going to have it fair across the board, or you going to play the hyprocrit? Do you only want justice for black people?

Am I just expected to take the word of a ranch owner? He could have easily killed the man then said his daughter was touched. I'm still disappointed at all of you, still taking whatever the media tells you at face value. You sheep still don't get it. You blindly believe whatever you're told, and the only thing determining how you sway is how the media sells it to you.

So yes, if you're not making the connection between these 2 cases, then you're just blindly following whatever you're told. I challenge you to think critically on these "stories" that come up, don't just accept whatever you're being told as gospel.

The media sells a story, leaving but one question up to its readership. In this case they make you assume all the preconiditons then we debate on here whether a father has the right to kill his young daughter's attacker. Oh yeah the police don't question the facts. The police eventually believed zimmerman's story, that didn't have any bearing on the media.

I am leery of the story myself, but indeed, if true, I have no issues.
I have no clue what the ethnicity of any involved.

I would assume the dad was close by since he was able to respond quickly. Probably since she was born on the ranch, she has been taught since she could walk where she can and can't go.I considered that possibility, but dad had to at least be far enough away that this guy was able to get his grubby paws on her.

All homicides in Texas have to go to a grand jury, even if the facts show that they were clearly justified. If it's a clear cut case then the grand jury should quickly vote not to indict.

"The ranch near Shiner is about 130 miles west of Houston. Killings are rare in rural Lavaca County. Harmon said his office has only investigated six since in his eight years as sheriff."

for a rural area, that sounds like a lot of killing to me.

hope the little girl gets a happy childhood and privacy.

Great news the grand jury has declined to indict the father.

A young Texas father who beat to death with his fists a man molesting his 5-year-old daughter will not be charged, authorities said Tuesday, as they released a dramatic 911 tape of the dad frantically pleading to send help before the man died.

A Lavaca County grand jury on Tuesday declined to indict the 23-year-old father in the death of Jesus Mora Flores, 47, who was killed June 9 on a family ranch so remote that the father is heard profanely screaming at a dispatcher who couldn't locate the property.

I think it was mentioned earlier, but in TX, almost everything goes to the grand jury. That was no surprise.
