    He killed the man who had molested him for years not as revenge, but because he HAD STARTED TO MOLEST HIS 6YR OLD NEPHEW.

    He should have NEVER gone to prison, much less be deported.

      I mean it’s a grey area. Giving them no jail time opens up a basket of approved vigilantism. On the other hand the system failed him already so why would he go back to them. This isn’t a cut and dry case

        I thought we all needed guns for self defense? Or are we done pretending that’s a thing and are just admitting they’re only for killing minorities now?

            Oh I didn’t know there were rules about how you could use a gun. I bet that will make all the parents of children murdered by guns at school feel better/s

                Buddy, relax. If you knew the first thing about firearms, you would know theres rules of engagement. This is nothing new, you probably already know this but you just want to be arrogant and assume that I support pedophilesm and the mass murdering of children.

                It’s called being a responsible firearm owner. There are rules, and yes people do break them, but thats life. Would you take away the firearm of a rape victim? Just tell them to carry around pepper spray next time they get raped? I don’t think so.

                Obviously, its a ever evolving right and things do change. I don’t want it to be stripped away from those who need to protect themselves / protect others.

        A serial child rapist was actively molesting his 6 year old nephew. That’s defense of others, not vigilantism.

    He had been strangled, then doused with lighter fluid and set ablaze.

    I think that’s measured. The rapist, Galdamez (let’s call it for what it is) had not only raped Flores several times, but done the same to several other children. From the article it seems like the last straw was when the rapist was to move in to take care of Flores’ nephew. Batshit insane.

    There’s so much that went wrong here but I don’t think you can blame a kid for setting fire to his abuser. Hell, it seems like he did it to protect others. It’s not his fault, he would’ve gone for help had he felt like help would be given, the fault lies with society.

      Yep. If the justice system doesn’t want people removing child molesters from their lives themselves then it needs to do a better job. Too many stories of these motherfuckers raping multiple children and getting a slap on the wrist only to do it again when they get out. Marco made the world a better place and should be praised.

    Y’all are really overlooking the most important thing here, which is that he was born in another country. /s
