Well deserved.
you guys are jumping on the bandwagon a bit here, theres really not much to this story, that you can give a concrete answer to.
the story says he caught a 47 yr old man TRYING to assault his 4 yr old daughter. nowhere does it says he's sexually molesting her.
lets just play devils advocate, what if the 4 yr old spit in his face, or did something of that nature, and the old man was attempting to spank her., or smack her hand or any other number of things.
I have some kids, and if i ever saw someone handing out punishment, i'd probably smack them in the head pretty good, but i woudlnt beat them to death.
this guy just snapped, and jumped to conclusions.
on a sidenote, if this story does reveal that he indeed tried to sexually assault her, then yes, he did the right thing ( as any parent would )
but this story is way too vague to say he did the right thing

my favorite sin is Sloth. I'd like to tell you why, but i couldnt be bothered to type it out
Mine is the original sin, but that shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone.
wtf? what can you possible get out of molesting a 4 year old? that is fk'ed up. same with catholic priests molesting little boys. that's disgusting.
It's human nature to destroy aberrant behavior just like all pack animals. We suppress it for the most part because we think we are above our instinct but things like this trigger it.
Maternal, paternal instinct. We devolve to our base and kill some times.

The father says on Saturday he caught the 47-year old man he'd hired to help with his horses, trying to assault his four year old daughter. That's when he attacked, beating the alleged molester to death with his bare hands.
Operative words are bold (assuming all the information in this brief article is accurate). Trying to assault and actually assaulting are two very different things. Beating someone to death takes quite a bit of time, so it's not easy to believe the father did not go way above and beyond protecting his child and didn't have time to consider his actions.
The father have killed a man that may never be proven guilty of any crime.
As far as how long it takes to beat someone to death it depends on the size and health of the two involved. It wouldn't take long for a heavyweight boxer to end the life of a 47 YO wimp with asthma.
I'd have done the same thing as him, but I also would have expected to be convicted. It's a choice to perform a criminal act or not, he can't have it both ways.
Uhhh..you're taking the word of a murderer..aww, ferget it..
