Father beats man to death; sheriff says dad reacted to his d

[Lord Revan]

I think it says quite a bit about the father that he was so forceful in urging the dispatcher to get help to the very man who had just assaulted his daughter.

Indeed, I wonder how many of us would have done the same.

What else would you have done? Anyone who's not a psychopath would probably come to their senses and realize they need to call 911.

Even a bad person could have made the call knowing it would become evidence and aid his defense. The guy would have known what would happen if the attacker died.

I think FSTargetDrone was more referring to the guy demonstrating remorse for what he did, rather than the actual call itself.

Mr Friendly Guy, a physician, would be in a better position to comment, mind you, but I would expect that this death was an anomaly in the long history of heat-of-passion fistfights. Unless I'm underestimating human fragility.

No memorial for the dead asshole, of course; even our most incorrigibly naive pauper pacifists wouldn't feel bad for him.

[Todeswind]

Human beings are astonishingly fragile.

I loathe the media's handling of this. The identity of the victim is protected,

The Associated Press is not identifying the father in order to protect the daughter's identity. The AP generally does not identify victims of sexual assault

You guys are dickwads. You named his town, county, the road he lives on described harassing his sister's family, named his neighbor, named a classmate's father, made sure the guys age was in the story and completely ignored the people you quoted telling you

"In our opinion, the story is over. You will not get an interview from (the father) or his family," she said, according to the paper, asking for the family to be left alone.

"a woman shouted through the front door that the family had nothing to say"

"Huser, the father's attorney, told reporters that neither the father nor anyone else in the family would ever give interviews and asked that they be left alone."

At Werner's Restaurant, customer Gail Allen said she didn't want to speak for the whole town, though her comments echoed what others said.

"The father has gone through enough," said Allen, 59, who has nine grandchildren

Way to round out the story jerkwad.
