I agree with his actions and the grand jury's decision, I'm not a parent but I don't think anybody (parent or not) would act any differently if they came across that scene.

Too much stuff going on to touch the topic, i'll do a bit of fence sitting on this one.

Given that the father even tried to subsequently save the scumbag's life (recorded by the police despatcher); which, frankly, is more than I would have done, I think "justice" has been more than served. I'd have set the cunt on fire.

Good call.

This is why juries and judges are required. It would be a cruel set of people to not give a father some leeway in that kind of situation. Summary execution is rarely defensible but when it's as extreme as this...
