We need more vigilante justice like this. If my son was molested I would do the exact same thing. Child molesters barely get a slap on the wrist in the court system nowadays. My sister was molested for seven years. Her molester only spent 3 years in jail.

Accused. Not found guilty yet.

A neighbor of the accused/victim wrote: Edington "seemed like a computer geek or something. He was not anybody you would ever feel you were threatened by."

Wow, what a fucking stupid comment to add at the end of a story.

What's next, are they going to say that the people that don't get up to shooting up their high schools might be dangerous to their neighborhoods?

Good on him I say. If I had proof that my neighbor had done something like that to my kid, I'd kill him with my bare hands, never mind the knife.
I really hope the jury finds him innocent.

He had no proof yet, just a 2 year olds statements. If you have kids you know that they mimic a lot of what they hear. I am not saying it did not happen and if he did it then I don't really feel bad the guy died, but a little confirmation might have been nice before murdering him.

How did the guy get alone time with a 2 year old? Did he watch the baby? Did they have a doctor look for signs of rape?

He could have waited a little while before jumping to conclusions, but I was not there so maybe he already knew it was true.

The kind of jail time people get for child molesting and rape is a joke. But drug 'crimes' with no victim get 25 years on a third strike. It makes me sick to my stomache everytime I think about it.

If it's true (and it looks that way based on the context of the article) I can only support this guy's actions. He should receive a medal, not jailtime.

"He had some bizarre behavior over the last month," said Darrell Maynard, a neighbor. "He drove his car through his garage, hit the other neighbor's building."

Another time a neighbor found James intoxicated on the street, Maynard said. James shouted obscenities at children, he said.

If my neighbor was asking like this, I would definitely be more wary of my kids and property at all times.

This is probably the dumbest thing you have ever said. Mark this day down on your calender.

If the guy actually did it I cheer the father

But I think he should have waited to confirm first.

Deward · Post by **Deward** » August 31, 2006, 3:07 pm

Why was it dumb? THe American justice system is pretty much broken and if the guy HAD been brought up on charges he likely would have gotten a slap on the wrist. In hindsight, I agree he should have confirmed the molestation but if it did occur then the guy did the right thing. These child molesters get off way too easy and usually commit these acts again. He saved some other child from going through this experience.

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » August 31, 2006, 5:00 pm

Yeah, our prisons should be filled with otherwise productive members of society who take the law into their own hands and murder people based on a single accusation. That's a brilliant fucking plan. Or are you going to advocate people getting off scott free because they stabbed someone a dozen times because their pervy neighbour may or may not have molested their daughter? Cool maybe all the menfolk can walk around with six shooters on their hips and just have showdowns with everyone that displeases them.

That sounds a lot better than just reforming criminal legislation against sex offenders.

Why wasn't it dumb? Seriously, you want vigilante justice to be the law of the land? You want it to be acceptable to be shot for cutting some guy off on the highway? Maybe have your balls snipped off with bolt cutters for downloading some music? Yes, yes, vigilantism totally works as a justice system. Much better than due process and fair trials and all that other pinko propoganda the hippy tree huggers want you to believe in. Legal reform? Why waste the time when vindication can be doled out with a Louisville Slugger.

Innocent until proven guilty? Fuck that, lock n' load bitches!

Who's going to take care of the two year old child now that the father is going to jail for murder? On the other hand, if this guy was psycho enough to go kill someone, was he fit to be a parent?

Aabidano · Post by **Aabidano** » August 31, 2006, 6:37 pm

If I knew with any degree of certainty that something like like had been done to one of my kids I'm pretty sure that person wouldn't be around too much longer.

For good or bad since he flipped out and killed the guy immediately it won't be a murder charge. Some lesser charge and a jury might very well turn him loose.

For crimes against children I'm all for cruel and inhuman punishments.

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » August 31, 2006, 6:56 pm

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it if the guy actually did something to his daughter. That doesn't mean I endorse or condone that kind of behaviour. I would still like to see him punished just so society is aware you can't do this kind of shit and get away with it.

Also, who leaves a 2 year old unattended?

He's going to jail. It may not be for long but it's not like he accidentally killed someone J-walking in the street. It was rage but he had to climb through a window etc, it wasn't click/boom fast. What if someone knew you were unstable and just made something up to get you to fly off the handle and do something irrational? Should we let all the people that fell for a prank off the hook? Due process!

If he really wanted to kill him, he could brood over it for awhile, plan out a good killing strategy, and then execute it. Then all you have is a missing person on your hands.

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » August 31, 2006, 9:41 pm

It was pre-meditated. If he kicked the guy's front door down and stabbed him in the face then maybe he could get off on manslaughter 2. but he obviously pre-planned it, did it covertly and was caught trying to conceal evidence of his crime.

Aabidano · Post by **Aabidano** » August 31, 2006, 11:22 pm

Anywho, it'll be interesting to find out of the dead guy actually did anything or not.

Ashur · Post by **Ashur** » September 1, 2006, 10:34 am

This is just horrible all around.

Possible outcomes:

1. Child was molested - BAD
2. Child was not molested, innocent man killed - BAD
3. We never know if child was molested, so we never know if father was vindicated (arguably) in slaying his neighbor- BAD
4. Vigilante justice is rarely a good thing. I say let the justice system work. If it fails you and you need your justice at least you gave it a try first.

This thread was enlightening.

There was no more proof of this guy being guilty than Saddam. But, one was acceptable and one was not.

This guy was less guilty than Andrea Yates, but many held to it being okay she got off on an insanity plea.

Priorities and perspective sure are interesting things.

What, shocked that they said it before you? You taking a moral high-ground on this is laughable. You are the first person I thought of when I read this headline as someone to feel it was fully justified. You are the person that has repeatedly said that you did not care if a criminal was beaten without a trial, and I believe you claimed that you would have no problem if someone did it to your own child if they were guilty of a criminal act.

Andrea Yates said God told her to kill her children. She was found to be insane when she killed her children. This guy went to the man ACCUSED of molesting his daughter and killed him. Going into a rage over the possibility something happened is not the legal definition of insanity.

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » September 1, 2006, 12:36 pm

Another Lawyer off the streets = Good?

He would have had to busted the guys door down and killed him immediately after hearing the accusation. This guy thought about it first. He will be even more soundly convicted because he is a lawyer and should have known better.

Did I read that right in that he just flashed his pecker and dangled his junk for the 2 year old to see? I can see beating this guy to a bloody pulp but not killing him. It'd be totally different if he cornholed the girl or something. Then the rage would be instantaneous and lethal.

Kylere · Post by **Kylere** » September 1, 2006, 12:46 pm

We should let the victims (or their legal guardians) select the punishment for all crimes against people. After conviction turn to the victim and ask, okay here is what we can do, what do you want done?

I would not have a problem with that.

I'd love to know how they are so certain the guy didn't molest the baby. I suppose pulling an assumption out of your ass is a good way of doing it though.

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » October 20, 2006, 12:05 pm

Maybe they asked the kid?

But yeah we sure do need more vigilantes running around stabbing innocent people in the face. Great thread.

Nick · Post by **Nick** » October 20, 2006, 1:23 pm

Isn't asking the kid exactly why this happened...? Yes it is.

Arborealus · Post by **Arborealus** » October 20, 2006, 1:42 pm

They prolly did a physical exam plus some brief play therapy with the child. At that age children are very mechanistic in response patterns and they repeat experiences constantly in play. It is when they are a bit older 4-5ish that it starts getting difficult typically.
