True, justification isn't possible, There is nothing right about murdering someone else. But there is also nothing right about raping a young girl. There is especially nothing right about the police not having enough evidence to even look at the guy. Where is the justification there? In the end, the father doesn't care what happens to him anymore. It doesn't matter whether killing the rapist is justified or not. It's a thing that needs to get done because it's the only form of justice that will come for his daughter, when the justice system fails. That's his justification. And that's all that matters.
Besides, it is excusable under the law via a heat of passion defense. Not justifiable, but excusable. There's a difference.
This guy probably didn't get heat of passion because he waited until the police said they wouldn't investigate the pedo. He sort of planned it out by going to get his gun etc.
Heat of passion is more like snapping in the moment you hear about it, going straight to the pedo and killing him with whatever you find along the way or even bare hands.
But there is also nothing right about raping a young girl.
I am absolutely one hundred precent not defending rapists.

Thats why I think this story is fake every time it makes the rounds. A child needing stitches from some sort of rape after being at a friend's house and that child stating who raped her is definitely enough evidence to get a warrant. At which point the stated video tapes would have been found.

It's not. Murder is not justifiable. If the guy did it and the system fails, keep tabs on him, catch him in the act, use lethal force then. That's the only way it's justified and morally sound.

13 years for pre meditated murder of the pedo who raped your daughter is pretty excessive though, IMO.
For justice to be satisfied, since he took the law into his own hands but considering mitigating circumstances, would not a year have been plenty?
I can live with that, and I can see it as a valid reason to lock a guy up for 13 years for murder instead of life.
