Everybody here is saying he was justified, the guy got what was coming to him.
There was another way he could of handled this, and now he is probably going to face life behind bars. This isn't a movie, or a TV show with a hero full of righteous indignation who prevails in the end, this is the real world. This man committed 1st degree murder.
But he got his revenge right? A bunch of keyboard warriors here thinking he did was bad ass without thinking clearly about what he did.
I agree, the way he went about it was vigilante style and showed a blinded, unthinking rage . That is the point!, I believe he could reasonably plead temporary insanity. People with less reason to plead so have.
Nah I don't think so. The father got a tip this scumbag was going to be at a place at a certain time. The father went to site, kidnapped the scumbag, put him in the trunk of a car, smashed his face with a cinderblock (repeatedly), and stabbed him to death. Then he left the body in the trunk in the middle of nowhere, where it wasn't found for a year.
All this happened after the father saved his daughter. This is text-book pre-meditated murder, the father had a plan and he executed it. I really wish the father to have a happy ending, but I'm a realist (not a negative asshole), and I know he probably won't get one.
Like Col. Stuart Scheller, his wife left him, and he lost everything for doing what he believed was right. The real world doesn't offer happy endings. It just offers endings mostly equivalent to your actions. But both this Father and Colonel are heroes though. Funny thing, most heroes end up broken people in the end.
Its fine I got a few downvotes. I got my leadership badge for a reason, and its not because I just agreed with the prevailing zeitgeist. I deal in truths (not negativity), and sometimes that signal rubs people the wrong way, especially when I have a bit of a hot take.
Going over the line and giving someone what they have coming is just subtracting one hardcore from our ranks in exchange for what? Some piece of shit. We're losing a knight to a pawn.
This is pure forum gold. I just wish I said this more elegantly like you did, which is part of the message I really flubbed. Thanks for the smart words. I hope frens read this. Its worthy of a badge on its own right.
Some lady tried to grab my 2-year old daughter (at the time) out of shopping cart in Costco in Irvine, CA. The police came, and despite marks on her body from trying to force my daughter out of her seat with the child restraint on and video evidence... she was not charged of anything.
In fact if we wanted to do anything, we would have been investigated for child endangerment (because we put our kids in a situation where she could have been taken was their logic), and could loose my kids if they see us as a danger before the prosecutors would do anything.That how fucked my situation was.
So what do I do? Risk everything for justice? The risk of losing my kids outweighed any sense of justice. And going vigilante is out of the question: I'd end up in jail, and my family needs me.
So if you don't think as a father myself I don't understand the rage of a child in danger and the anxiety that comes with having my hands tied I fucking do, more than most people.
One last thing, action speak louder than words: he hid the car out in the middle of nowhere to hide his tracks implies some fear of getting caught. And he did.
This guy gets it.
