Probably depends on how many times he hit the guy... 10 or less, no problem... more than 10... maybe... more than 20... definitely.

Take the emotion out and look at the law. If he did enough to stop the attack and protect his daughter, no charges... if he did a little more, probably no charges given the situation... if he did a LOT more, charges...

If you take the emotion out of it and look at the law, he should be charged regardless. The whole point of this thread is based on emotion: do you think he should be chaged.

I don't care if he came back 3 weeks later and finished the job. I woudn't charge him if it were up to me.

The question was "Should he be charged?". Nothing was mentioned about the legality of his actions. At least to me, it appeared the OP wanted to know our opinions of what he did and the following consequences. If it was about the law then all you would have to do is look at the legal writings that applied.

Either way, it would be hard to find a jury that would convict a father who protected his daughter.

Not really. You have the right to protect yourself and others... it's the point in which the threat is nullified and you keep on going which is in question. I don't know if he should be charged... not enough info... which is my point.

And that's why we're all glad you're not in a position of legal authority.

It's a legal question... if it wasn't a legal question, the word 'charged' shouldn't have been included. It wasn't 'did he do the right thing?' or 'should we throw this guy a parade?' it was a legal question by definition. My opinion was provided based upon my rudimentary knowledge of the law.

It's in Texas, can't they by law kill someone for trespassing? This is way past trespassing.
