Finally, a stand your ground incident that is justified?





A Texas father who discovered a man raping his five-year-old daughter

and beat him to death with his bare hands will not be charged with

homicide under state law.



A Lavaca County grand jury decided not to press charges against the

23-year-old father in the June 9th death of Jesus Mora Flores, 47, who

was killed inside a remote shack after he was caught molesting the young

girl.



Under Texas state law, deadly force is authorized and indeed, justified

in order to stop an aggravated sexual assault and coupled with the fact

that the harrowing 911 calls made by the father back claims he even

tried to save the pedophile's life led to the grand jury's decision.



Lavaca County sheriff's deputies said that the father, whose name has

not been released to protect the little girl's identity, sent her and

her brother to feed the family's chickens.



The boy rushed back to tell his dad that someone had grabbed his sister

and taken her to a small secluded shack and the father rushed towards

his daughter's screams and arrived to find them both with their

underwear off.





Flying into a rage, the father beat Flores unconscious, but attempted to

call 911 for the rapist after he had made sure his daughter was safe.



Sheriff Micah Harmon had said in June that he was not willing to press

charges against the father, rather the case would be presented to a

grand jury.



At the time, Harmon said that the man was 'very remorseful' and didn't

know at the time he had killed Flores.



'You have a right to defend your daughter,' Harmon told CNN at the time.

'The girl's father acted in defense of his third person. Once the

investigation is completed we will submit it to the district attorney

who then submits it to the grand jury, who will decide if they will

indict him.'





Indeed, the father is heard profanely screaming at a dispatcher who

couldn't locate the property.



Becoming increasingly frazzled, the father at one point tells the

dispatcher he's going to put the man in his truck and drive him to a

hospital before sheriff's deputies finally arrive.



V'Anne Huser, the father's attorney, sternly told reporters several

times during a news conference at the Lavaca County courthouse that

neither the father nor the family will ever give interviews.



'He's a peaceable soul,' Huser said. 'He had no intention to kill

anybody that day.'



I agree the law is very applicable in this case, as it was in the Zimmerman case.



John (Gun Nut) H.



Yeah, no difference in circumstance, at all.



One was an in progress sexual battery, the other just in progress

aggravated battery.



No it wasn't. Martin was walking home.



As the Delbert Belton case shows, nobody could be hurt by unarmed

teenagers.





Strange method of walking home - sitting on someone, beating them.



John (Gun Nut) H.



Uh, dumbo, what was Martin doing before Zimmerman confronted him?

Walking home. With Skittles.



Zimmerman confronted him?



Cite?



John (Gun Nut) H.



Do you even READ??? From the trial:





"While Zimmerman was on the phone with a police dispatcher, he began

following Trayvon. Soon after, the dispatcher told Zimmerman it was not

necessary for him to pursue the teen."



Today I followed a wrecker with my wife's car attached. At no point did I 'confront' the wrecker.

There is a huge difference between 'following' and 'confronting'.

SAY WHAT!!
That brand spanking new Volkswagen Jetta with the reliable diesel engine??
Should have stayed with the trusty Toyota Highlander with it's rock solid 3.5 liter V6.

It would have survived the accident no better, and perhaps worse. The Highlander is less
maneuverable than the VW.
