Just do not mess with Texas

The decision was led by Texan legislation that permits the use of deadly force in order to prevent a sexual assault or aggravated sexual assault.

The man, who has not been named to protect his child's identity, had discovered 47-year-old Jesus Mora Flores assaulting his daughter behind a secluded barn, after a witness had seen Flores "forcibly" carrying the girl to a remote area and alerted her father.

...


The father was never arrested, but Flores' death was initially investigated as a homicide.

"Under the law in the state of Texas deadly force is authorized and justified in order to stop an aggravated sexual assault or sexual assault," District Attorney Heather McMinn told reporters.

"All the evidence provided by the sheriff's department and the Texas Rangers indicated that's what was occurring when the victim's father arrived at the scene," she said.

Yep- seems that way to me, too- and I've never even seen the evidence. 

BTW- Jesus Mora Flores has a green card.  If this is who we're giving Green Cards to NOW, do we really need blanket amnesty for 12 million more Mexican immigrants that we know little about? 

Question kinda answers itself, doesn't it?

Wow, I thought that had been settled a long time ago. I'm always grateful when a bad guy dies because the system is designed to let him out to do it again. This ends the bad system.

This outcome was expected when it was first discussed here partially because the child
was only 5 years old. The real test of this permissible deadly force law will likely happen in the future when adult victims or near adults are involved.


In this case I think another ranch hand witnessed the attack and told the father. Most rapes aren't witnessed, so how will the victims prove deadly force was justified?

What's TX got to do with it?

But the real point is that since this one green card carrier is a rapist we should err on the side of caution and presume anyone on deck for some amnesty program is probably a rapist as well.  So this thread is for kicking the crap out of Mexican immigrants-ok- so with the exploding violence against whitey coming from all directions what's a person to do?  Found that special group to join up with yet where you can prepare and live with your collective fear yet?  SPLC has a long list of some in your area.

I'm a big fan of closing the loop.

I think given what can happen- let's see...I don't know-- a 30 day sentence for an admitted child rapist ( 
www.cnn.com/2013/09/03/us/montana-teacher-rape/index.html ) this is a preferred outcome and sends the necessary message to would-be offenders-- victim's age notwithstanding.  Texas has a pretty decent reputation for either directly, or via a liberal definition of self defense and the defense of other innocents- indirectly closing the loop on violent offenders.  

Honestly, out in the middle of nowhere Texas- the 5 year old girl isn't the only one lucky there were witnesses.
