A judge has said he “sympathised” with the father he found guilty of murdering his 16-year-old daughter’s unemployed boyfriend, handing him an exceptionally light 8 year sentence after the prosecution asked for 12.
The case began with a 38-year-old unemployed Kumamoto prefecture man dating a 16-year-old girl he met on a “deai-kei” BBS.
The father of the girl found out about this, and had the man to meet him at his home. An argument ensued, and the father took a kitchen knife he happened to have to hand and stabbed his daughter’s boyfriend three times in the gut, killing him.
The father soon faced murder charges, which he denied, saying “in the end he may have died, but I had no intention of killing him.”
The prosecution argued the murder was a clear and unjustifiable act of homicide, saying “this was a vicious crime in which the accused took a deadly kitchen knife and very deliberately and repeatedly stabbed a man in the abdomen with clear intent to kill,” and asked for a 12 year sentence.
Meanwhile the defence apparently took the position that the victim was at fault for being the path of the blade in what was an “act of excessive self-defence”: “There was a scuffle and in the heat of self-defence he happened to thrust out the knife.”
This version of events is backed up by the exceedingly light sentence they requested – 3 years in prison and a 5 year suspended sentence.
The judge conceded that the father deliberately murdered his daughter’s boyfriend, but expressed sympathy for the killer and ordered a reduced sentence:
“I can understand your parental desire to stop this relationship. There is much about which we can sympathise in this case, and a sentence of over 10 years is certainly excessive.”
In the end the defendant was ordered to serve 8 years for the murder.
The defence still plans to take the verdict to a court of appeal.
The case is the first of its kind in Kumamoto to use the lay judge system (a quasi-jury); one of the lay judges in fact comments that “I have a daughter the same age, so there is certainly some overlap,” fuelling the suspicion of some that the case was judged by the equivalent of a panel of over-protective fathers.
Leaving aside the issue of what many have condemned as a light sentence for a crime which can never be justified, some have pondered what it says about the father that he raised his daughter to date such a man and then decided to kill him.
Still others have wondered whether the murderer might have gotten off completely had it been the mother at fault.

If I had a daughter dating some old guy I would go berserk on him as well. Although I wouldn't murder the guy even if in my mind I have the desire to kill him, I would just severely injure and instill fear into him.
Who cares if 16 is legal to marry, those girls are still kids and naive. They're not fully adults and don't know much, but should still be hold responsible for the faults they have caused. You're not an adult until you're 20+, have a job and living on your own.
I'd start off with a simply "Why don't you have a seat." ~Chris Hansen
Followed by an "If you ever come near my daughter again... I'll kill you."
This could be one the contributions to Japan's falling birthrate. Old men preying on young girls, young girls trying to be mature that's why they don't date boys around their age (the young generation suppose to be the future for Japan. How can they create a new generation when the girls of the young generation are with old men who are old enough to be their father? Those old men don't really love you, you idiots. Its just lust.), arranged marriages, NEETs, otaku extremists, prostitution, schools and companies controlling everyone's personal life, suicides. Shit, it feels like there will be no more Japan in 100 years.
ah yes this will probably leave a scar on the girls personality towards any man now.Great way of dealing with things father she will probably forever have problems to be with a man and will maybe end up alone for the rest of her life.
With the cellphones and open prostitution Japan is doing it seems the little 'anti loli' items on the table this month are not even the tip of the iceberg. Did the girls father ever us those dating cellphone websites to pick up very young girls as well? I would 'want' to kill any one ten years older than my daughter as well if they were doing her. Doesn't mean I would.
This guy was old enough to be her father and then some. Japan is different I don't know what a Japan prison is like but still to kill someone who isn't in the process of killing you that seems like a very light sentence.
The irony is that whilst the father is away in prison, the daughter will likely find another boyfriend.
Impressive, so the next time a Mother In-Law finds out that her son's fiancee is not her type, she can easily take a knife, bury it on the fiancee's gut and simply say she's defending herself?
On the day of the murder happened, this father found out his daughter meeting that man again, even though he had already asked the man to break up with her. And there was an argument bitween them, it got pretty tense so father took him to police to persuade him. That was 4 hours ago the murder.
But shortly after they went back home, argument occured and the murder happened.
I remember the tv news saying this victim was once married, had children but devorced, and unemployed.
So, judge may feel the sympathy.
i have no sympathysing for this father who killed a man.If it was illegal or something then he could deal it with the police.If it's not illegal then his jealousy is showing that a 38y man was capable of getting his girl and not some younger guy what he probably expected more.
Do you know getting a girl requires to have something that a girl will like you.
He was capable of getting her at the legal age of consent,you see others were imcapable.
The father should be punished much more harsher.
That's just stupid.
Jealousy? How the hell does jealousy come into the picture. It's his daughter, a father wants what's best for his daughter. A 16yo may be legal, but it's still a kid in puberty.
Even if the boyfriend didn't do anything wrong by law, that doesn't mean the father has to sit idly by and do nothing while in his eyes his kid is in trouble.
What if the boyfriend was right age but a drug addict, or a homeless guy, or a muslim telling the girl to wear a burqa, or a convicted sex offender, then it would still legally be the same situation.
It would also be the same situation if her boyfriend was a perfectly normal guy, rock star, a 90yo geezer, a girl, a transman, etc...
It's quite possible to feel jealousy for a family member. "Jealousy" is the fear of loosing something to a 3rd party. It's not unusual (or rare) for parents to be jealous when a child enters a relationship.
It's no different from when a child feels jealousy over a younger sibling. You get less and less attention, and you can see that someone else is taking that place.
nothing but excuses,16 is not a child anymore and the age of consent is legal.
And women don't change when they are 18 and on in relationships if you know a little more why they like men mostly.
Puberty is there with a meaning at 16 it is already ok to be together with him.She choose him also.Guess the father went crazy when he learned the true nature of what women like about men and how she was with him(sex will be a small part,but also a very important one which was maybe the part that he was killed).
Father killed him because he wasn't prepared to see the true nature of his little girl and how all women are when a woman finds a man that is attractive to her for several reasons.
More like jealousy of a man with authoirthy because of his age.
"I may have stabbed him repeatedly in a vital area with a large kitchen knife, but I had no intention to kill him"
when it comes to kids i take this stance.ITS THERE HOLES/APPENDAGES THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH THEM. i honestly wouldnt care.
Boys who don't like to visit their girlfriends parents did a big point here.
I know Hanamaru Youchien is a lie now. Thanks so much for having our hopes up.
I await for the day for most of the people who abhor the father's actions to one day become fathers themselves(as unlikely as this may be).
While we scoff at parents who are unable to take care of their children, my parents were unable to deal with my generation because they simply couldn't transition towards the digital age, and I personally feel for them because of the difficulties they must have had trying to understand why I was addicted to the net. It's not easy, and it's becoming increasingly difficult.
And if I steal from someone who left their door open, am I any more or less morally wrong? Manipulating minors is an easy task, doesn't make it right.
We are not talking about children here. An 16 years old human has already developed an adult level intelligence.
The law's definition of "minor" is very arbitrary and has no scientific grounds to back it up. I am not inclined to believe that someone is far more resistant to manipulation on his/her 18th birthday than the day before.
There is very subtle difference in intelligence between the two age groups and next to no difference in experience.
The girl is not slaying dragons. It's just a relationship. Even if she were to go ahead and get pregnant, she can always have an abort. Now if she gets pregnant and decides to carry the child, that would be a poor decision. But then again, if she is that stupid, I doubt 2 or 4 or even 10 years are going to make a difference.
I hope you don't get to be in the same situation. Not only will you ruin your life, but you will also scar your daughter for life (not to mention deny someone else their life). I can only imagine how difficult it would be for the girl to form another relationship after something like this.
Instead of putting yourself in the father's shoes, try picturing yourself in hers. Maybe the different perspective will give you something to think about.
Actuakky, according to science, we don't fully develop our brains until we're 25. That would explain the masses of idiotic tweens.
As an 18-year old teenager, and looking and my lapses in judgement when I consider myself a fairly mature and balanced individual I would say that no, a 16 year-old HASN'T developed "an adult level intelligence" and I kind of symmpathise with the dad also.
i concur with the judge.... no... the father should demanded the unemployed faggot family with charges of pedophilia and killed the sexual predator
Neat. l:
And this is why the law is not true justice.....
He killed someone he should be thrown away for life
A murderer gets 8 years while a loli gets 20. BULL! FUCKING! SHIT!
In Japan, nobody would get as much as a second look from the law enforcement for possession of loli. That 20 year sentance was handed by a US moralfag.
damn fo.
u dont need to kill hes ass
its nuf if u just woop his ass for good.
no there is nothing to sympathise with you conservative fuck
He did the right thing.
though the right thing is not always the good thing
"The father soon faced murder charges, which he denied, saying “in the end he may have died, but I had no intention of killing him.” <--- Oh man, cuz three stabs in the gut was totally something you expect everyone to survive. "RAAAAH! *STAB* ...Oh my god I think one stab is en-*STABSTAB*MY ARM MOVES ON ITS OWN! D: D: *STABSTABSTABSTAB*"
Man, Japanese legal system is.... Different.
Moral fags are a blight on the US.
They also are often extremely raciest and responsible most of the lame duck drug laws.
The so called war on drugs has cause prisons to be over crowded with non violent offenders and forced the early release of dangerous criminals who need to stay locked up until reformed.
The laws on marijuana for example where made by raciest groups and the cotton industry.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_history_of_cannabis_in_the_United_States
If I had my way every moral fag in the US would be shipped to an island and that island can be the holiest country on earth until it gets a colony or nuke dropped on it.
The fact that the boyfriend willingly met with the father says a lot. He knowingly went into a dangerous situation because of this girl. It's only natural to assume he went to plead his case to the girl's father. This shows that he at least had has some decency. Sadly, there is no one to tell his side of the story now and a murderer gets off with a light sentence.
Also if the father thought dating a 38 year old loser was bad for his daughter; he should have thought about her grow up with a dad in jail... and which would be worse. Finally, you don't "accidentally" stab someone THREE times.
[Citation needed]
Even Artefact mentioned that he didn't have the full story somewhere above. If you have a better source, do bring it forth.
The victim was not so truly in love with the daughter. He demanded money to 16 year old girl and even took some of her naked picture and blackmailed her. (this was said in the japanese local TV news)
And he beated her grandfather(murderer's dad), before the father grabbed the knife and stabbed him.
Maybe the father should have educated his daufhter not to use "deaikei BBS", and it's excessive self-difence to stab three times. But understandable somehow.
If that's the case this may not even carried much of a sentence at all in the US.
He'd might have gotten off on temporary insanity.
It may even be considered a defense of life and property case which would carry no criminal sentence at all in most states in the US.
In that case the judge and jury probably did the best they could within the laws Japan has on the subject since they supposedly don't have high rates of assault and thus not many DLP cases.
well ass hole boy frand need to die if i was a father i wold make sure my daughter wold never date guys like that Evan if it is to kill the fucker
lmao victims fault for being in path of the blade
all people that are shot and killed at are fault for being in path of the bullet!
It seems so. From now on I start training bullet-time with live ammo.
;-D
What's with Japan and these light sentences for things like murder and rape?
I'd consider this a third degree murder in the US or second in other countries such as Canada which usually carries a sentence of 8 to 16 years minimum with a max of 20 to 40 depending on how heinous it was and their behavior in prison.
It seems Japanese Judges have lost their balls or we simply do not know the whole story.
But considering the earlier story of the couple who baked their little boy I say the former.
I would have thrown the book at those two.
Of course if said boyfriend was assaulting said daughter then even in the US they'd go easy on him or at least he could use temporary insanity as a defense.
Oddly enough if someone breaks into your home in most states in the US you can kill them if you catch them in the act.
Your also allowed to use deadly force if rape is involved this would be a defense of life and property situation.
This is a light sentence? You've obviously never been to prison.
The purpouse of prison is to keep society safer, not to suck up funds. I'm fairly sure that after serving his sentence, that father would be very reluctant to go back in. Reluctant enough to control his temper.
And this is the point. He is not sent to prison for revenge or to be made example of. He is sent there to keep him from killing other people in blind rage. The message is clear: if you kill without a very good reason, your life is over. When that guy comes out, he will be 50, he will be hopelessly out of touch with technology, without a job or property, and he will be unable to retire at the proper age. Not to mention that his family (or at least his daughter) will have a very cold attitude towards him at best.
Even without a prison sentence, this is a pretty grim fate.
Sakujo...
Prosecution asking for 12 years? WTF is a NEET's life only worth 12 years?
”Prosecution asking for 12 years? WTF is a NEET's life only worth 12 years?” Much less. Think lower. . .
The judge and jury were not impartial..... they should've been able to see the case from more than just the protective father position.
That, and a person was murdered..... premeditated, if that handy kitchen knife is anything to go by.
The case should be retried.... and a heavier sentence given. Sympathetic or not, the father did intend to kill that NEET.
You must have been on the jury to know all that stuff.
Right?
Read the article over.
I imagined this scenario having taken place.
Father: "Please take a seat."
*STABBITY STAB STAB*
Join us next time for more on 'To Murder a Predator' only on Dateline NBC.
"I imagined this scenario having taken place.
Father: "Please take a seat."
*STABBITY STAB STAB*"
BANG BANG BANGITTY BANG I SAID AH BANG BANG BANGITTY BANG!
Yeah, not funny in the slightest, and this man was NOWHERE NEAR being a 'predator' (which is just a bullshit designation made up by people who hate pedosexuals) in the slightest.
Pedophilia is not a sexual orientation, it's a fetish.
It is also morally unjustifiable, since people who have not yet reached puberty are not mentally or physically ready to have sex and cannot understand all of the ramifications.
they can understand it more then you know and this isn't pedophilia
"Pedophilia" is attraction to girls/boys who are bellow the age of puberty. Anything above 13 it is healthy sexual attraction, even if not socially acceptable.
Of course, that's ignoring the legal systems in some overly moralistic countries who would brand any relation bellow and above 18 "pehophilia", even if the subjects in question have less than 1 month difference in age.
16 year old is pass puberty or reached it at least.
In fact, most so called "pedophiles" charged have been seeing girls 12 or older which is clearly the age of puberty.
newsflash!! pedophilia doesn't even apply here. SHE WAS LEGAL! even in many parts of the US she would be legal.
We're talking about the same article, right?
You do realize the girl was 16, right? You do realize puberty usually starts at around 12-13, right? You do realize than age of majority and age of consent above the physical maturity threshhold is arbitrary bs, right?
That's why I only date middle schoolers who's fathers are out of the picture...
This is why we love 2D. No risk of death.
Yeah. Until some mentaly unestable otaku sees you 'loving' his 2D devotional target...
Exactly. No 2D dad will call you to his house and stab you afterward. Great escape for those without girlfriend huh? *sigh...*
This kind of parental love and the sympathy for women and children is really dangerous for society.
I fear families/friends more than criminals. Don't you dare insult a member of someone's family, even though he/she is clearly in fault. They will defend their beloved ones beyond logic and reason.
His daughter was obviously a fucking whore, who cares about her, but oh wait, the father thinks that HIS daughter is something special, HIS daughter is better than that.
Fucking disgusting. Stay away from families and close friends, they are scary and dangerous.
I am sorry, but NO ONE should sympathize with this father.... if anyone should sympathize with anyone, it should be the man who was murdered for basically no reason whatsoever by this father.
Stabbing three times in the gut sounds like it is full of hatred, this father was furious
People assume a Hell of a lot from "unemployed."
Here! Here! The guy might had just lost his job recently and was looking for another, or quit to start his own business. Or had money in the bank and didn't need to work. It doesn't mean he was a worthless.
As about age. Well you people cry moralfags and conservatives to others about loli manga and staff you like but in other matters you are the same fags as them. Yeah he was older but if she was happy and he was good to her who the fuck are you to judge? She can date who ever the fuck she wants. Her dad is free to not approve and give his opinion but he has no right to use violence against him.
Since when does it involve a right? More like the ability to literally stab the shit out of you. It's a give or take situation. blood for blood, obviously you deflower my child whom I am silly enough to still believe she's a virgin. And each of those droplets of blood equate to about a gallon of blood each from you.
One person can't help the fact that the other dumbfuck decided to chase around his "what I consider" underage daughter, AND on top of it all, ignorant enough to chase after the light at the end of the fuckin tunnel..
NO YOU"RE SUPPOSE TO RUN AWAY FROM IT YA FUCK, YOU"RE GONNA GET ME CONVICTED@!!
The act can never be justified but I can understand why the judge lowered the sentence. An argument beforehand can easily escalate, especially if it concern your daughter.
If my 16year old daughter (if I ever get any)was dating some 38old good-for-nothing I wouldn't be too happy either.
and this is the problem of todays society.You treat girls so innocent,when this innocence doesn't really exist in girls and it would be better if you didn't treat girls like that when she was old enough in age of consent rather 16.
Simply the man was more capable of getting this girl and others were incapable.
All girls,women will fall for men that have something that will attract them to men.
She would get over it,or forever stay together with him.
Agree completely. Justice is suppose to be blind. And the judge giving him a lighter sentence is just wrong. But if my 16 year daughter brought home someone like that, that I just couldn't stand, I would be tempted to stab him as well.
16 years is old enough that your daughter should know better, I can't really believe the 38 year old guy "seduced her".
with money, 3D girls love it. oh wait...
bullshit it can't be justified.
No Loli for you!!! (stabs)
16 isn't loli
From a 38yo point of view, it's still borderline loli.
It can be, I think Loli is more a body type than an age.... But that's just me
>> Still others have wondered whether the murderer might have gotten off completely had it been the mother at fault.
This is what I wondered first.
if the father had any senses, he would have gotten the yakuza to get rid of the guy instead
That changes the means, not the purpose.
indeed... however,
would anyone find out that way who did it?
the 38 year old low life got what he deserved. so did the dad.
Just kill ure self before having 38...
The time change adapt ureself or continue to be a virgin mindless.
I'm sure that if daddy wouldnt be in heaven, he would love to kill some of the boys I take home :3
Yes daughter, yes I would.
my property.
Uh the judge is clearly Biased
in fact I'm surprised he got a sentence at all
The victim was probably a scum bag, but people who sympathise with murderers are completely sick in their head, no matter the circumstances. That judge should be removed from office.
Well it is a 38 year old loser dating a 16 year old. Even the age gap shows that the boyfriend was a douchebag.
not douchebag,only to you and society having problems with his age difference.If he managed to get this girl with such an age difference and it was legal then he very well deserves having this girl for being so capable of getting her,for what ever quality he had that she choose him.Others didn't he was first.
Then see if she will leave him latter or forever stay together.
He tripped and fell on that knife ....3 times.Man some people have bad luck.
Might be a cute dad and/or gay judge.
The judge most likely just saw it from the killers eyes.
Honestly it is the daughters fault for going out with a 38 year old. I mean dating older men is not something a father talks daily about.
Hell if you blame the father then I guess it is all the parents fault for kids that tried pot as teens when they told them not to. Is it the parents fault? If you think so you are a fucking idiot. Kids fully know what trouble smoking pot can do if they get caught.
Don't blame the father for the daughters actions. And yes what the father did was fucking wrong all together. And taking a life is never something good. I just can't stand it when people blame the father for the daughters actions.
I mean for fuck sake. I guess it is the parents fault if a kid ever picks up smoking, beats up someone, gets someone pregers, buys a bunch of junk food.
Kids know what is bad and good. We tell them that, and kids know what is normal. It is their choice to decide to make those choices. So don't blame the father for his daughters dumbass choices.
It is the fucking kids fault for dating an older man not the fucking father.
no, just crime of passion, it's easy to lose your rationality when you're pumped full of adrenalin.
I wonder where the conversation took place. In the kitchen, living room, study room, dining room. He must have other blunt objects to use before he could run to the kitchen, golf club, bat, frying pan.
Also lol defense, it's your fault for standing in the path of a drunk driver.
Most murderers are not serial killers who enjoy killing a bunch of people. I'm sure you could release most murders from prison and they would be no danger to society. I'm not saying that murderers shouldn't be punished, but in cases like these, life imprisonment just isn't reasonable in my opinion. A murderer would better serve society by getting back out to work and paying taxes instead of using your tax money to pay for his life in prison.
"Being angry, stressed, distraught, etc does not excuse someone from obeying the law."
No, but it can make a hell of a defense. If you come home and find that someone has killed your wife and kids, and catch him in the kitchen having a sandwich...and grab a knife and stab him to death, the court is likely to cut you some slack (and maybe even a high-five if you live in Texas). However, what this guy didn't doesn't rise to that level. There doesn't seem to be evidence he planned the murder, but simply snapped at the time, probably because he was telling the guy to stay the hell away from his daughter and he refused. So he grabbed a knife and sushied him. The sentence seems pretty reasonable, IMHO.
38 years old working man fucking an underage doesn't? So if you work you can fuck underages?
Working incentive for all the neets, at least.
The sources weren't clear where exactly it happened but there was no mention of a kitchen and some of a "home office."
@Artefact:
Maybe the father called the guy over for dinner.
Father: "So I heard you're dating my underage daughter. Why don't you have a seat over there."
Man: "Uhhhh, okay."
Father: "While we're talking, let's eat dinner. I cooked. I'm really good at cooking, you know."
Man: *takes a bite* "GAHH THIS IS DISGUSTING!"
Father: "What... did... you... say?!?!?!?"
*stab stab stab*
I dunno, there's too much that is not specified in the article. The way it's worded raises several questions:
How did the boyfriend sustain himself? All it says was that he was unemployed. There is a large room for speculation here.
What kind of discussion erupted?
Where did the discussion take place, that was so easy to have a knife handy for the father to "sheath" inside his daughter's boyfriend three times?
How did the boyfriend act towards the father?
I can't say if I consider the sentence was too light or a good one on what little is said.
For all I know, the so called boyfriend could have been a leech, trying to get some teenage ass and cruise until he got a job... Maybe he was trying to act as a decent boyfriend and then sell the daughter to prostitution, while disappearing from the eyes of the father... Or maybe he was an honest, unemployed 38 years old man... I don't know, and speculating like this is no good most of the time.
38 year old jobless man fucking an underage, deserved to die.
The way you wrote it sounds like it could have been a crime of passion. The guy invited him to his house to try and talk to him to stay away from his daughter, they had an argument, the dude grabs a knife from the kitchen and stabs him.
Do you not have knives in your house Artefact?
What i'm surprised about is that this killing didn't happen sooner considering this sorta situation happens all the time.
don't forget, it was DEADLY kitchen knife
Ah, my mistake. I must say though I still don't think he should be fully accountable for the murder, the shock must have affected his mental state, is it not PC to care about such things in modern times. Not saying he shouldn't have been punished though.
erm, me ^
@ anon 02:21, people are always accountable for there actions. Being angry, stressed, distraught, etc does not excuse someone from obeying the law.
I'd stab my own daughter if she was 16 and dating a 38 year old guy, actually, i'd stab myself, it'd probably be my fault for not educating her.
Parents are usually at fault in this situation, I can't blame the 38 year old that fell in love with a whore youngster, the girl and the dad are the ones at fault in my opinion.
Explains why he called him over and had that knife handy.
Should be a 20 year sentence or life imprisonment. Taking another person's life should only be allowed for defending from a lethal attack.
This case most probably was a planned murder.
cheh.its even weird that prosecutor ask for 12 years.its should be life imprisonment at least
I can't see it being premeditated by just reading this article. Obviously his daughter is dating a much older man, so he wants to meet the man fucking his daughter - so he's already on edge. He just need one more excuse, as if that bombshell wasn't enough - just to stick w/object was closest to impale the fuck with.
I'm sure he probably appreciated a sharp knife instead of being pummeled to death with a bat or what have you.
Although I don't know what the legal age there is anyways, so what I say could be nulled anyways. Whether it's legal there, can't say I would agree with it anyways
it would probably be a heavier sentence if the victim was not a 38 year old unemployed man.
The judge must be having some domestic issues too
"Open the chest with the key, and stab the heart."
"No don't stab the heart."
"The dutchman needs a living heart or there'll be no captain,"
"and if there's no captain, there's no one to have the key."
"So the captain has the key? "
They are probably doing roles.
any father would be furious in this situation, but murder is murder
Hey, if you had a 16 year old daughter yourself who is dating a 38year old umemployed man, there'll be no doubt you would have reacted the same way short of killing him.
Well that just means that you'd be a bad parent. Over protective parenting is whats leading the children of the world to ruin. When you oppress your kids then they act out more when they become adults and do things like dating people twice their age, punks, drug dealers, ect.
They are also more prone to being ignorant of the way the world works. You need to let kids make their own decisions and mistakes, give them the opportunity and responsibility to stand on their own two feet.
Otherwise they will never grow, now yes they may become something that you don't approve of or not fit your mold; but you know what they are their own person. You didn't turn out like your parents wanted and neither will your kids.
But on the topic at hand, if I did have a daughter who was dating and old lowlife I wouldn't like it. But then again I don't have to like it. However it's her life so I'm not going to interfere in it. She'll figure out he's worthless in her own time and dump him anyway.
voice of reason *high five*
Yeah but the girl is pretty stupid and THE father have failed in her education, to be lazy is easy.
nobody says it is ok,they are just saying people would react the same way.
The father has not failed in her education at all; I can assure you that's the last middle-age unemployed man she'll date. Lesson learned!
To all of you defendants - this is no different than "honor killings" in Muslim societies.
Anon 01:51, Lilith, you are both potential murderers if you agree that under some circumstances it's ok to kill people just because you don't like them or they are from a lower caste.
news flash, parents arn't aware of all things happening with their children - sorry! It's an ideal world, if it only took that one more beating at an earlier age to knock off the notion of being pedoraped, than I'm sure it would've worked out all fine and dandy like you put it
lol you must think good parents are gods or something
indeed.
SanCom's community apparently disagrees though.
yeah he failed his daughter , thats why he should have killed her too. and then killed the judge and then his wife and G. Bush . and finally himself.
What? He couldn't say "back off from my kid!" first? Or "get a job, boy!"?
Somebody teach that dad how to reason, and that judge how to judge.
Is it really that OK to just go out there and kill people? What a wonderful world we live in today.
So let me get this. The guy should be killed because he was older than her?
So what if he was 38 and she was 16? She chose him didn't she? It's her right if she doesn't want a young man. The guy did nothing wrong.
Her father is a cold bloody murderer and that's all there is do it. Even if he doesn't like the relationship, is not an excuse for taking a mans life.
Ehh, no I wouldn't have. Stop categorizing people into your own low-level mind.
Good for him. Sounds like something I would do. Especially if my daughter were underage still. Course now everyone will be poonin his daughter while serving time, meh...
