Indeed, but the world is not black and white. Human emotions are a complex prism.

thats not a question.
it's a fact.
And it's stupid. How will being in Jail for a long time help your daughter?
I could understand vigilantism if they went to the police and the justice system failed them.
But not even trying to do it the right way? thats just wrong.
Edit: that happened in India?? how about making that clear in the first post, op?
What? It should be fucking simple to respond. The man murdered someone, it doesn't matter what his victim is alleged to have done. Due process and presumption of innocence is one of the bedrocks of a functioning moral society. The courts should decide and if found guilty he should have served the appropiate sentence. Now the father has thrown his own life away. And yes I'd feel the same if it was my own daughter.
Do you think he should deserve to die, Mr. Vermillion?
Torturing a person to death is probably murder. Just a guess though.
Yup. Given the state of both India's culture and police force, I don't think going to them was a real option.
Well if this happened in India I sort of understand. I don't trust the justice system in Bangladesh to handle such a case (which is way more corrupt than India but still similar). Dependent the who the alleged rapist is there's a good chance he would have gotten away with it even if he actually did it with evidence against him. Also it's very had for girls to actually tell their family that they have been raped. I doubt she said it on a whim.
Not saying I condone his actions, but I understand.
It's easy to condemn vigilantes when you live in a country with a decent functioning justice system.

But then you leave your daughter without a parent at an age where they (arguably) need you the most...
It was completely selfish of the dad

I don't support vigilante justice.
This dad has now committed a worse crime than his victim.
He is no hero.
That's all I have to say on the topic, and I'm not interested in any comments supporting the father's decision to become a criminal.

Strapping someone to a chair, burning their genitals and strangling them to death is probably murder. I'm no expert on the subject, though.
Can you elaborate?
I think they mean the torture part.
Personally, I consider rape to be a worse crime than murder. But that's just me.
There needs to be an investigation about the issue at least.The daughter could be wrong about the perpetrator or ,worse yet, lying for a multitude of reasons.
Father could've killed an innocent man and now will never be able to support his daughter while he is in jail.Thus the defeating the purpose of serving his loved daughter.
Its unfortunately a huge mistake on the Dad's part.
Wonder if some people's opinions would change if their daughter came home one day and told them she was raped by some 40 yr old dude. Not saying what the father did was right by any means (and do not condone it at all) but I can see what led him to it and where he is coming from.
What this father did was obviously wrong, but you need to take into consideration that this happened in India. Local courts are super corrupt. Expecting due process is probably a bit naive.

I feel this is a trick question...yes?
And uh, nope, nope, nope, can't justify what the dad has done. Can't even justify the murder alone. Burning his genitals and strangled him to death? On someone being only suspected of a rape? Nope.
This is the kind of action I can see my vengeful side thinking of impulsively to someone who (allegedly!) raped one of my daughters. Just pure rage and revenge. But it's one thing to have those (hopefully fleeting) thoughts of revenge fantasy, and another to perform them on a person. Part of me totally understands the impulse....but the actual action of it is just awful. It's simply murder.
I also don't really follow the mindset of not wanting to give his kid a 'bad name' by prosecuting the rape. You know what will also give her a bad name? Having her be the daughter of that guy who tortured someone to death in their house. :\

Do they need to? He put red hot tongs on a man's ballsack and proceeded to murder him.
How is there any logic in that thinking process? A rape victim gets to live, a murder victim doesn't. Murder and its consequences are objectively worse.
I probably wouldn't kill but I would have beat the shit out of him.
Certainly. It was indeed selfish. No argument there.
My point was more along the lines of closure. The legal system can't guarantee anything, even if he committed the act. The death of the perpetrator is the best closure one can get.
I'm reminded of that father who killed his sons abductor and rapist on camera in the middle of an airport and got five years probation. People understand violent reactions to the destruction of innocence.

You have a child and two options. You can choose to have them raped, or choose to have them murdered. Pick one.
So what did he do. Yes I'm asking you.
Well, you do not go with probability in these cases.

It really is sad that the father had to resort to this or that it went so far, If certain parts of the country were not so backward in how they treat other human beings then a father would be at home helping his daughter through things and someone else in jail. That said I feel no sympathy for the guy if he did rape the girl.

It is so easy to stand outside of this as a casual observer. Even easier if you are not a parent yourself. No sure about murdering the guy or torturing him but I see a video confession and a fierce beating assuming guilt.

The only thing I can imagine worse than what this girl has already been through is depriving her of her father. I understand the anger, but it's beyond sad that he couldn't do the right thing by his daughter.

...that must've been a hell of a spread.
Ask the child, not the parent, and I know people who'd easily pick death. You're naive if you think otherwise.
Yes.

You're not allowed to say that there are worse things than rape on the internet
Correct your post immediately or face mass E-disdain
See shit like this is insulting to survivors
Just because people are raped doesn't mean they don't have dreams, goals left to achieve, people they want to see again/loved ones who want to see them again
And then we get people saying it would have been better if they just had a bullet put in their head rather than raped. Fuck that. I KNOW people who were raped and we both are glad that they are alive today.
The alleged rapist probably knew the family and assumed the girl wouldn't tell his father.

Isn't rape something that can be confirmed by a doctor? I'm not exactly against vigilante in cases like this, but at least make sure first.

On one hand, torture and murder is wrong. On the other hand I would have gone medieval on my daughter's rapist too.
Wasn't this the plot of a Hugh Jackman movie? The name escapes me.

Yea no dad is in the 100% wrong. We don't even know if the guy who was murdered actually freaking did the crime he is being accused of.
I missed that it happened in India when I read the OP first actually so I'll concede that it does change the situation. I would never condone murder even for rapists but I can understand the father feeling desperate if he felt he wouldn't recieve justice for his daughter. We should keep in mind that the word of his daughter is his only evidence though.

While, yes, you should not murder a dude because someone accused him of something and it should've been reported to the authorities.
Can we keep the "women cry rape" narratives out of here? It's been shown that while it has happened, only 2 to 8 percent of rape reports are false, and that...
