Did you hear about the dad in Indiana who fought off the intruder in his daughters' bedroom? Dad hears his teen daughter scream in the middle of the night. When he arrives in her room, he finds a 52-year-old naked man standing there with a knife. Dad tackles the guy and holds him down while Mom calls police.

When authorities arrive, they find the intruder in cardiac arrest. He dies. It's determined he had a pre-existing condition. Oh yeah, it's also determined he's a sex offender who failed to register.

Looks like Dad will not be charged..however, the police captain said in a news conference that it was a "sad story"..and in the end, no one wins. REALLY! The guy was a sex offender and it appeared he was about to offend again. He had not registered and was running from police.

Hate to be so "hard core" but it seems to me this was a win/win situation.

Karma bit this piece of dead dung in the arse.

What this man was about to do was dispicable. He should have never been let out of his cage. I'm glad he's dead and I hope he rots in hell.

To express any sympathy for this level 3 scum is just sick!!

I don't get that rule about sex offenders having to register. Why would they? Fear of consequences? People like that don't fear getting caught. I hope that girl is not scared to sleep in her own home. If that were me, I'd be sure my house was secure day or night! Too many perps on the loose showing up anywhere they want.

I agree 100% win/win, one less perv to worry about.

It is a sad story. It's sad this intruder didn't have a couple of friends with him that suffered the same fate. It's time to rid society of these social deviants.

It should not be news. It should be commonplace. Too bad he had a heart attack...strangling would be much more enjoyable.

Kim,

I totally agree with you. I think the police captain was just giving a sound bite that he thought was expected of him. But the father is a hero and the result was perfect.

There are two points of view on this. the first is that yes the father was a hero for tackling this social deviant and protecting his family and seems a win win situation however the second point of view is that this social deviant could quite possibly have been someones husband father son etc that while he committed horrendous acts was still a human being. If he did in fact have a family of some sort, Im sure despite his actions they are grieving him. Im not at all saying that social devients like him, sexual predators, rapists, child molestors etc deserve the publics sympathy but I think that the grief of their family should be respected.

As far as I'm concerned the grief of this garbage's family is irrelevant.

What kind of family do people like this come from? He was most likely molested himself. I hope this level 3 has no offspring.

sirB,

When I read michregan's post, my thought was, "His family must be jumping for joy. Now they don't have to have sex with him."

Sad thing is chip, you could very well be right.

Its not irrelevant...think about it. There are many of these predators out there who were raised by normal loving parents. As a parent myself I know that I can do my best to raise my child as a decent human being but I cannot control the choices that my child makes as an adult. I think that it is very prejudice to assume that because one person has committed horrendous acts that their children or parents or other family members are also guilty of the same behavior or mental state.

The police captain said in a news conference that it was a "sad story"...and in the end, no one wins. Are you kidding me!!!! It most certainly was a win, win situation. They should give this guy the keys to the City. The world is a lot better and safer without this piece of garbage living in it. Give that man a ci-gar!!!

BTW, I really don’t care how this piece of garbage died, whether it be from strangulation or heart attack, I’m just glad the SOB is dead!!!

Everyone doesnt know every little thing about everyone so think about this...would either of you two react the same way if you found out that your brother, or father, or a cousin or someone in your family had committed the same crime? Would you be jumping for joy that the person was dead?

Kim,

I have never cheered out loud for a news story. I actually jumped out of my chair and whooped!!! God help me, but I was glad he got what was coming to him!!! That dad should get a medal. Chip and I have had many discussions about the repercussions for a sex offender should they make the fatal mistake of coming near one of our kids.

michregan,

I can't believe you would call this piece of crap a human being. There is NOTHING human about a sexual predator!!! NOTHING!!!

michregan,

If I was related to the dead scumbag level 3, yes I would be jumping for joy. Another one that can do no more harm.

michreagan,

What is wrote is truly disgusting. what makes it even more disgusting is that, statisticaly, it is almost absolutely TRUE. Research the quality clinical material on sexual predators and get back to me on what percentage have NO sexual abuse in their pasts...

And research how many pedophiles don't perpetrate on their own children...and get back to me.

The truth is disgusting here....

Let me tell you for sure that if that were my father, brother or son that commited such horrible acts, then I would be jumping for joy that they got what was coming to them.

There would be no sympathy from me. Sorry. Karma nipped this guy before someone else did.

Down Arizona the Police during home invasions where a perp has been shot dead invading your house...They say to you, or point thats the door or window they came through...o.k. and thats it...I heard in the story that the father may not have any charges brought against him...Should it even be a question.

A stranger is found in your daughters bedroom with all these articles in his possession an the police spokesperson has to even bring this up about the father being possibly being charged...its ridiculous.........
