Father not charged for beating daughter’s rapist to death
ABC News reports that the Texas man who beat the rapist of his five-year-old daughter to death won’t be charged in the incident. Apparently a witness alerted the father to the rape who caught his ranch hand, Jesus Mora Flores, in the act and immediately beat him to death;
“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.
To his credit, the unnamed Dad called 911 and pleaded with the medics to hurry to save Flores’ life. Even though Flores didn’t really deserve it.

“To his credit…”
Really? Let’s see…Flores survives. Okay. Dad gets to pay his medical bills the rest of his life, and the daughter gets to live in fear that the bastard who raped her will get hold of her again some day. Oh, and Dad gets to be sued for damages and the pain and suffering he caused with the beating.
No, I think this one turned out just fine. Now maybe Dad and daughter will get a chance to heal from their trauma.
Best possible outcome.
Yeah, no one with a 5 year old daughter is going to disagree with this and 95% of the folks *WITHOUT* 5 year old daughter will not disagree with this.
@1 Heidi…..
Why oh why did this come to mind….

What a great dad. His little girl will know her daddy stood up for her.
While studying for my TCLEOSE certification, I learned that the Texas Penal Code included as an affirmative defense “he needed killing”
Don’t mess with Texas.
Wow, I remember hearing this story soon after it had occurred. So glad the father will not be facing charges. Sometimes the system gets it right the first time.
I think any one of us would have done the same, had it been our daughter or someone elses child
Can you imagine 10-12 yrs from now when a boy comes to pick her up for a date and Dad says “There was a man who tried to touch my daughter once. I killed him. I didn’t get charged with anything. I’ll do it again.”
Good.
#10…best comment ever.
My little girl is more than twice her age. The only difference between me and him?
I wouldn’t have called 911.
@12…how much you want to bet there will be news clippings on the wall when she hits dating age?
You mean an immigrant in Texas committed a crime? I’m shocked!
It took one year for this to get to this point? That’s the only annoying thing about this story. The man should have been cleared within the week at the most.
First of all, what kind of sick pervert (did I just answer my own question?) rapes a 5 year old?
Day-um. Dad and the Texas penal code got it right. “He needed killin'”. But I wouldn’t have called 9-1-1 or the peace officers. Can’t go wrong with the four esses:
Suppress(or)
Shoot
Shovel
Silence
The Texas Attitude is catching hold and spreading.
@10
Heh. Better than the Rules for Dating a Drill Sergeant’s Daughter.
@7: As there should be.
@10: Epic. No one will ever touch that little girl inappropriately again. Fact.
Ive always been a fan of the “he deserved it” defense
Hope the piece of shit is being tortured eternally in Hell
There’s someone else in this story who needs a good beating. Who was the witness who saw a 5 year old girl being sexually assaulted and didn’t intervene? I don’t care if it wasn’t my own daughter – if I saw a little girl getting abused I would have killed jumped in and killed him myself.
Looks like the “law” finally got one right.
Has Eric Holder filed a violation of civil rights suit yet?
Killing a pedophile rapist in the act should be viewed the same as swatting a mosquito sucking on your arm. Death is the only cure for men who see children as sexual objects. Jesus got exactly what he was born get. I wonder how many children this pervert raped before he was terminated? You can bet this little girl was not his first “conquest”. I’n only glad she was his last.
@22

I don’t recall where I read it, but I seem to remember that it was another kid, maybe the girl’s brother, who told the family that he’d seen a man take his sister.

I disagree. I would feel no particular desire to buy someone a beer or three simply for swatting a mosquito.
I’d like to know where the suspect was buried…so I can go piss on his grave the next time I’m in TX.
As was said on a recent threat, “God Bless Texas”.
@26
Thanks for clarifying the story. I shouldn’t have gone off without knowing the facts. I have a four year old myself and any story about a child getting hurt / abused makes me want to go out for blood.
There’s a reason I always carry a couple of knives on me if I can’t carry a firearm. That piece of shit would be one of them.
Justice
A happy ending always makes me cry tears of joy….
I would bet that any of her would be suitor’s will most certainly tread lightly when dating that girl…
A poster child for DADS (Dad’s Against Daughters Dating)!
I only see one flaw in the story…. why waste valuable cell phone minutes calling for help? Oh wait – 911 calls are free.
Glad to say I used to live in Texas..they always get it right…JUSTICE
In Arkansas a father killed a man who molested his 5 year-old daughter and they gave him life. We have a petition circulating asking the governor to pardon him.
Always remember a clip they showed on AFN back in about ’84 – two fellas named I believe Doucette and Plouchet (no, this isn’t a coonass joke.) One was the karate instructor for the other’s kid, and he both kidnapped and molested the boy. The cops picked him up and were flying him back to LA (Shreveport maybe?) when as they was passing a bank of phones,a fella wearing a baseball cap – the father – dropped the phone, turned around, and put a .38 into said child-molester’s melon. Film went national and international…. and the father was acquitted. Sometimes, justice IS served.
1. This is why I want to retire in TX.
2. “Um, 9-1-1? Yeah, I just caught a guy raping my daughter. Send an ambulance and they better hurry–it looks like he’s having trouble breathing with all this weight on his neck…
yes, I am standing on his throat…
well, because his screams were making hard to hear on the phone…
I gave my daughter a .22 with snake shot and told her to pick a joint and shoot it every time he moves, that may have something to do with the screams…
Also, I’m pretty sure he’s having seizures. It’s hard to tell, she’s shooting so fast. I can’t tell if the shooting is causing him to move, or the moving is causing him to be shot…
Uh, I think you can tell the ambulance to slow down, he stopped moving.
Nope, they better speed up, she was reloading.”
Texas got that right! The only good rapist or pedophile is a DEAD one!!
