If you have reason to believe that someone is stalking you or a member of your family then it is a matter that needs to be reported to the police, let the law deal with it.

If it's not in self-defense, it's vigilantism. Not sure if anyone is dumb enough to think that killing someone we think is going to do something wrong is a defensible policy. Personally, I think people that wear MAGA hats are going to destroy our democracy with treasonous acts (which carry the death penalty, whereas child molestation does not), should I be allowed to murder them?

Harm is one thing, a bit sick. If a family member kills or castrates the perpetrator of one of their own.............they shouldn't even face charges

I don’t always kill people,

But when I do,

I prefer the satisfying thud of
moose antlers.

If someone was stalking my daughter, I would put a restraining order on that person! To take matters into my own hands, would be a different story, I would restrain myself from harming the individual. I don't know if that person would harm or kill me and then what would happen to my daughter after that!

The phrase “he claims was stalking his daughter” jumped out at me right away. What if his claim is inaccurate, a misperception on his part? Best let the authorities deal with it, because even if he’s right, harassment of a minor, despicable as it is, is still not deserving of the death penalty.

Criminals

Either accused or convicted, I would lean on the side of letting legal justice prevail. Of course, if someone is stalking my child, I will do what it takes to prevent tragedy.

I'd say we're lacking way too many details to make an informed decision.
