#2 I think I would use a mean right hand if I caught someone molesting my 4 YO Daughter. I may even use a curb stop.

#3 and punched him in the head repeatedly, killing him

Not easy to do. Often you break your hand and the guy just gets up again.

Harmon described the dad as "very remorseful," adding that he didn't know the man was going to die.

Why? He probably saved a bunch of girls that would have otherwise been his subsequent victims, and saved taxpayers the expense of trying, jailing, releasing, re-jailing, re-trying, and finally jailing him for life. Let alone a bunch of citizens that are often messed up for life.

#4 Father of the year. The grand jury should reward him with a medal, not an indictment.

#5 Sick people, how can someone do that to little girl. The father did the right thing.

#6 Read elsewhere that this took place in Shiner, and that the dead guy was from Gonzalez. Race may end up playing a role - Shiner is 85% white while Gonzalez is 90% black, per Wiki census data.

#8 I'm confident the local grand jury will do justice; I'm concerned that if the US Justice Department decides to claim racial hate crime and involve itself, justice will not be done.

#9 Good for the father. Both saved his daughter and saved us from having to house and feed the pervert until he is released to try again with someone's else's daughter.

I think the Castle Doctrine applies doesn't it?

#11 Case closed! Unless Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton show up to defend the deceased and make a racial case out of it.

#12 Swift Justice. These guys are usually the nicest guys in the world, until they turn the corner and see something happening like that to their child or loved one by anotheer grown man. Then instant rage kicks in on the spot.

I suspect the purpetrators head made hard contact with a wall or two as well.

#14 Local news in Houston reported from Lovaca County last night that the deceased's relatives were in Mexico, slowing the notification process. Would seem to leave out Sharpton, et al. if the report is true.

I'm an oldtimer and when I was young the oldtimers in my hometown defined a Texan as "one who defends family and home until he falls." Its just in our DNA.

#15 "Protect and Defend" is not just in the DNA, it was the first two words in all the land deeds in Texas for years.

Apaches, Commanches, and Santa Anna was responsible for such attitudes.

#16 Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will not be necessary. There are plenty of other Demons on the left already trying to "Travon Martin" the child's father.

James Harrington, director of the Texas Civil Rights Project, an Austin-based nonprofit group, questioned the father’s decision to “summarily execute” the alleged molester without due process.

“Assuming it’s true that this guy was molesting the daughter, and we don’t know what exactly happened at this point, he would then have the right to defend [her], and hit him enough to have him stop,” Harrington told FoxNews.com. “But you cannot summarily execute him, even though I can understand the anger he would have.”

Without specific knowledge of the case, Harrington said he was “surprised” that the girl’s father had not been already charged. Foxnews.com

It is time for the child molesting and other criminal apologists to go rot in prison, too.

#17 Austin-based nonprofit group

Anybody that knows Texas, understands that this says it all. Alligator tears from a bunch of stand-offish, elitist, do-gooders willing to point out all of YOUR faults without regard for the child.
Had to get that off my chest!

#18 Because when he was having his cup of coffee, he decided the chore for the day was to kill someone in front of his four year old.

Seriously Harrington, shove a post up youss.

Sounds like Ranchers. Ranchers are wicked strong, several could just mean two.

#21 Getting between a rancher and his kids seems like a fairly effective form of suicide. Especially in Texas.

#25 PROVEN - One man can kill another man with his fists (Trayvon Martin trying to beat to death George Zimmerman, all beit for no real reason.)

#26 Actually could this be brought up in Zimmermans case that he had good reason to fear for his life? A couple punches KILLED a guy, regardless of the reasons. Zimmerman was being hit like a Pinata.
