IMO, the ex-boxer did the right thing. I'm being completely levelheaded right now without any rage whatsoever, and I still probably would've done the same thing he did.
Good on him.

I think vigilantes do it out of a sense of moral obligation where this guy just wanted to kill the guy who caused immediate harm to the person he was protecting.mtb0minime wrote:

How is this guy not a vigilante? His stepson was in no immediate danger, he should have gone to the police, he obviously knew exactly who it was anyways. Let him rot in jail instead of getting the quick way out.lavadisk wrote:

That's true. I don't like the vigilantes that are like, "I'm going to get justice and revenge!" (the vigilante with vengeance)lavadisk wrote:

Wait, what? How was his stepson in no immediate danger? He had a guy on top of him with his pants down...?Flaming_Maniac wrote:

In any case he set himself up nicely for a temporary insanity defense.

Danger schmanger! I think it's pretty obvious what he should've done. Politely wait for the guy and stepson to finish their business, nevermind the stepson getting scarred for life and will eventually grow up to be demented / perverted / pedophilic or have some sort of psychological disorder/trauma.ThomasMorgan wrote:

I think he means "no danger" as in after he got the kid away, then came back for the guy.ThomasMorgan wrote:

If he killed him while the guy was still on his kid, good on him. However, if he got them separated, then called the police, then killed him, it was just personal retribution. A reasonable feeling of course, but it really doesn't excuse it.ThomasMorgan wrote:

Apparently he was level-headed enough to call the authorities. He should have been level-headed enough to manage to avoid killing him.RoosterCantrell wrote:

Still, not a vigilante. Vigilante is someone wanting to exact revenge by thier own means, but in a calculated, semi- level headed way.
This was just pure rage. He didnt want his own brand of justice. He just wanted to mangle bones to appease the sheer amount of uncontrolled adrenaline in his body.
Yeah. you do have a point.Flaming_Maniac wrote:

lol, I'm not saying it was pre-meditated, I'm saying that partway through the beating he should have thought, "Hey, this guy is beaten into a bloody pulp and probably won't be going anywhere until the police arrive. I think I can stop now."Turquoise wrote:
If he was truly levelheaded, he could've found a way to make it look like he killed the man in self-defense.
maybe he was a pussy.. He did go after a little boy.Flaming_Maniac wrote:
