Doesn't excuse the comment.

Maybe the husband just hit him with a lucky punch- not intending to kill him but woops caught him just right and put the rabid animal/rapist out of his misery and sure;y saving future victims from said rapist -  alls well that ends well

Well, while I don't feel it should have even warranted charges, I doubt anything will actually come of them.

If he had no intention to kill, it is manslaughter. If he had intention to kill, it's murder. This must be proven in court of law. Self defence does not include killing people unless the guilty have every intention to killing you. If the law was clouded with emotions/religion, all punishment will be done unjustly.

The guy who attempted raped got what he deserved. Hell, I would've dragged him back into the house and tortured him for hours or even days, legal or not

innocent for sure.

He just killed a useless criminal, he should get some money for doing the world a favor.

I have zero sympathy for guys like that.

The only thing that is useful in any opinion on that piece of writing is that the police said Diallo beat a man to death.
The rest is all worthless. Not enough facts to form an opinion about it.

Unless the guy hit his head on a hard surface whilst falling, it's quite hard to beat someone to death with fists, which implies that the husband continued way past the point of the man being disabled/severely hurt/unconscious. 

My immediate suspicious is that it was driven by anger not self defense. Which is understandable but thankfully not condoned by law. Haven't read the full article but it sounds like the only account we have is theirs which could easily be falsified since the other guy is dead. One of the many reasons stuff like this can be an issues and why things need to go through the justice system.

Where is the danger to society with this man, if he only kills rapist scum. I certainly wouldn't inprison him. That money would be better spent elsewhere in healthcare and other areas. As a society we need to get more angry about violent criminals and less so about people who fight back against criminals. Once all the facts are in then a careful decison I'm sure will be made. Maybe a large fine would be suitable punishment.

I honestly know in a situation like that I wouldn't be making cool calculated decisions and would enter the property very angry, upset and unsure what to find. Instinct and quite possibly hatred would take over and that is hardly surprising given the circumstances.

Saying that the fact that a phone call could be made and he was standing in the hallway sounds like someone drugged up but ultimately you should be responsible for your own actions. If I drink excessive alcohol and run over a load of school children leaving school is it me or the alcohol responsible for those deaths.
