Here is a thought for some of you, Why did'nt the man simply beat the boy down (pistol whip perhaps?)instead of shooting him? Maybe he was a coward or the boy might have whooped that butt. He also could have simply held him there for the police and had him arrested for unlawful entry(if his daughter was not lying)and attempted rape.
Personally I think that it was a punk move (punk is not the word that I wanted to use either) to prove how tough that he was.
Some 16yo's are not small. I was 6'4 at that age.
It's dark and Dad walks in to find some stranger on top of his daughter.
Daughter denies knowing the guy and dad assumes she's being raped or assaulted.
Grand Jury will decide the facts but many of us would shoot the man raping our daughter.
Yes it's a tragedy he was not a stranger and was only 16. Dad apparently Dad di not know.
well being I wasn't there I can't judge what happened but if someone woke me up after 2 AM and said there was someone in my daughters room that someone might just get shot. The only facts are that he shouldn't have been in their house much less in the girls room.

EXCEPT he was invited there by the girl's own admission.
Yeppers; there's no way any of your gun nutz would EVER have snuck into their girlfriends house and cuddled her under the covers in their teen years. Buncha freak'n maroons!
This kid lost his life to a fugged up gene pool: daddy and daughter both sharing the lack of the ever important 'common sense' gene!
It is truly amazing reading people who can justify this murder.
Imagine, reading a story about the shooting of someone who wasn't doing anything illegal and saying oh well those are the breaks that kid is dead and I am as big of an idiot as the shooter I may have done the same immoral, evil thing as murder an unarmed person who wasn't doing anything.
Oh well, shouldn't been in the room. This is a purely insane perspective. These are people who shouldn't own a gun.
How stupid was that Teen? He had to know at the very least he faced a beat down if caught.
You cannot beat someone up for sleeping with your daughter.
And the funny thing is I remember when I was a teenage boy. I remember what I did. I know what my friends told me they did. I know what my uncles told me they did when they were teens, etc on so on.
I am 100% certain that the vast majority of American men as teens tried to have sex within another teenager's parents home.
The idea that death is the proper punishment for that behavior is insanity.
Yes, why? You think I'm stupid to think the guy will probably not be indicted? I have lived in Houston for 41 years. I know the thought process of the grand jury, and if it happened as reported, they will assume the guy thought his daughter was being raped (unless it turns out later that he knew very well his daughter associated with the guy). I think the guy's going to get off on criminal charges or not be charged at all, but he will get a nice fat lawsuit filed against him by the boy's parents. If you don't agree, then please explain why you feel my post is not serious.

If he is no billed by the grand jury under the castle law they cannot sue him....
Really? I'm not sure I like that. I'd say there's a clear case for wrongful death here, even if not enough to get the guy convicted.
