Father Beheads Daughter's Rapist: Hero or Monster?

Hes a hero! (father of 3 daughters here, I would do the same and rot in prison gladly to pay for it)

He did what he had to do.

Oh dear. Scroll down a bit and follow the second link with the update...

Well, the case of Joseph Ntshongwana, the vengeful father and ex-South Africa rugby player who beheaded one of his daughter's rapists and killed two others with an axe, takes a bit of a horrifying turn today. According to The Australian, the rape of his daughter didn't happen -- and, well, he doesn't even appear to have a daughter. That's right. This triple murder was no revenge and he is no father.

Hero but he could have done more harm by just playing the Banjo for him

Raping the rapists would have fit the crimes better.

Depends on if it was done with a sharp blade or a spoon.

Haha.

Gross. Interesting theory though.

hero or good.

WTF!

So why did he kill those men?

"To harm another, is to harm ones self" Socrates
Still its hard to keep your cool in a situation like that.

he went down the same hill as the rapists

neither hero nor monster, just a simple human

Yea, if you read that it says: "We have ruled out completely the element of rape. There has not been any element of rape that is attached to him. He therefore has been killing people out of evil nature."

So, he did kill folks, but not for revenge.

Oh, this is awful. Is this someone's idea of a sick April Fools' Joke? Doesn't look like it. We all got duped into rising to the defense of a man (or at least relating to where we thought he was coming from) who now looks to be a murderous psychopath who knew just what to say to make his violent crimes seem justified.

Wow, getting news from South Africa is apparently harder than that crazy kids' game of Telephone. The story sure got really wacky on its way across the ocean.

After Ntshongwana's court appearance and an outpouring of public sympathy for his plight, police announced that no rape was being investigated as a result of Ntshongwana's crimes -- that they can't even confirm the man has a daughter. Vincent Mdunge, a police spokesman, said:

We have ruled out completely the element of rape. There has not been any element of rape that is attached to him. He therefore has been killing people out of evil nature.

My God. What happened to this young former rugby star? What made him snap? This is a brutal and horrifying story, and unfortunately, one that struck a chord and some passionate conversation with many of our readers.



So, he did it, but he made up a story AS TO WHY he did it.
He killed people because he snapped and he's a sick fuck.

On a side note, I broke down last month and Earl Scruggs Nephew was the Tow Truck Driver. serious.

As a man, I think he is a coward for killing his daughter's BOYFRIEND.

I love the Pinocchio pic...looks like this guy's mitigating circumstances just went South...

I don't even think the Bible permits vigilante justice. Even in Old Testament times they had a judicial system used to prove the guilt of the people involved.

How do you know you have killed the right people without a court trial?

He might have killed innocent people because of heresay generated by dark spirits.

I understand the anger, but why ruin his life to get revenge. That makes no sense.

Wow, I thought the first story was newsworthy, but now it has a part 2. Lol, I didn't even see that one till it was pointed out. Insane. It's like a crazy twilight zone soap opera.

Is this the same story about the Dad who killed the three rapists who raped his child?? The Dad was just keeping the scales of justice balanced. Those bastards won't be raping anybody else, that's for sure.

In our old world way of justice, monster.
In the world to come? Folk Hero.

As a father, I don't think he did the right thing -- unless he tortured the guy with a cordless drill a bit before he killed him.

"Is it safe?"

Hero, but should have dead-headed the other head instead.

Keep on choppin' and pickin'.

Dang!! I hate it when someone gets beheaded over raping a daughter that doesn't exist.

I guess I am always gonna get shit for the name, huh? Lol.
Dueling banjo's was the running joke at first. At least this one has some thought behind it...

Nahhhhhhhh! Planet Earth?

I would have done worse to him

As a peace loving man and father of two daughters, it would take a lot to stop me from acting out my vengeance.

Shinto orgy!! Hoh!

No really, it's true. I should be famous, oh well.
