If the facts turn out to be as they now appear, then this has to be one for the good guys.
The death occurred about 3:45 p.m. at a horse barn along County Road 302 near Shiner, about 127 miles west of Houston, said Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon.
Harmon said the victim, a 47-year-old Gonzales man, died at the scene. His name has not been released because his next of kin has not yet been notified of the death.
No arrests have been made in the case. Harmon said a grand jury will probably to determine what, if any charges, will be filed.
Harmon said the father and daughter were at their barn with several other people to groom and care for horses there. The victim [alleged bad guy] came with some of the other people, but was not well-known, if all, to the father and child.
The group later heard the girl screaming behind the barn, Harmon said. Her father ran to see what was wrong and said he saw the man allegedly sexually assaulting the child. While pulling the man away from the girl, he hit the man several times in the head, Harmon said.
The girl was taken to DeTar hospital in Victoria to be evaluated and to have tests done to determine if a sexual assault occurred. She was released later.
The Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office is expected to perform an autopsy on the victim to determine what caused his death."
- The horror has been played out in many parent's minds.
In this case, not only was a four year-old girl being sexually assaulted by someone, but the Dad is reported to have caught him in the act.
We all have heard people state what they would do or what they would want to do if their child was assaulted, but nothing could compare to being there when it happens. If this is not an example of "seeing red", then the term does not apply to anything.
How can anyone find fault with the Father?
It was interesting, considering the legal and political climate, that the police did not choose to charge the father and to left that decision to a Grand Jury. For those who are not familiar with that process, a Grand Jury is not just a waypoint for to determine if there is enough evidence for a trial for someone who has already been charged. Prosecutors/District Attorneys can present the testimony of the police, witnesses and coroner/medical examiners to the Grand Jurors and and allow them to make their decision as to whether or not the subject should be tried.
Texas is not known to be a State that coddles bad guys, so the Father may have a decent chance of avoiding trial if it is determined that he told the truth.
Again, we are far from knowing all of the facts, but considering the rage that the Father would have experienced at the time, any blows that he delivered at that point would undoubtedly been of a far greater force than that which would occur in a fistfight. He must have broken bones in the alleged molester's head.
I for one believe that the rise in reports of such crimes has very little to do with a rise in reporting by victims. The concept of cultural relativity and all that follows such garbage must result in many more people abandoning any concern with hurting others or committing grave sins. Even the loss of respect in society means nothing any longer; not only are people unconcerned about their reputation, many of us are even willing to forgo anything that smacks of judging others.
The overt sexualizing of our society also contributes to this phenomena. We keep being told that any form of abstinence is not only an aberration, but that it is impossible and that one should just do what feels good. No activity is to be considered inherently wrong or disordered. If homosexual acts, spouse-swapping, or group sex, is to be given the tacit approval in our society, who is to tell a pig that he can't act out his sick desires with children?
Children and young women have born the brunt of this trend. It is a tall order to find clothing for young girls that are even slightly modest. Couple that with the Pop Culture that encourages 10 or 11 year-old girls to think of themselves as sexy and the animals will pretend that they have justification for their actions. Although I am the first one to insist that no victim, even if he or she dresses or acts immodestly, should face blame if attacked, the bad guys will certainly tell themselves that the victim "deserved it".
I hope that the poor four year-old girl is OK. Kids are so trusting at that age, especially those who are raised in safe households by loving families,. I can't count the times that little ones that I did not even know have walked up to me to ask a question, tell me something, or ask me to read a book to them.
If the justice systems of our States do not begin putting these offenders away for life, we will see more parents and other concerned individuals taking matters into their own hands. Real life sentences not only guarantee that known criminals will never leave prison, they also make others think twice about making any attempts. One of the main reasons that the State is in place is to provide an environment of Law and Order. If the State fails to do its duty, then the people will feel that they have no choice but to do the job.
If the facts of the case are what they appear to be now, I hope the Father does not face trial. In a world of sheep, sheepdogs, and wolves, the Father was the sheepdog and the wolf was killed. (Below)

A Muslim in an Islamic nation may have then arranged to have his daughter later marry the criminal. A Western man wants the criminal dead. One is concerned about his deluded sense of honor, the other only with seeking justice for his kid.
