For things that are "hmmm".

He was already awaiting court for raping the girl. I assume a grooming dude that convinced her to see him again
Still a bit fucky to just axe the guy. Not for THIS case, but for the precedence that it sets. Cops et. al. should NEVER be able to freely murder people they think are guilty. Ever. Period.
I agree that it set a bad precedent for cops but I will never blame this man for killing a rapist
Yeah, I agree entirely.
I’m a pacifist.
If I intercepted my kid being a victim of this I’d potentially mama bear their abductor to shreds
Yea, caught in the act is definitely quite the trigger. Though what if he's one of those kids that look way older (rare, I know, but some of even my friends from HS looked like they were 20 as sophomores)? What if they're actually also 13 and you're just pissed off your daughter is doing the dirty? What if they're not even doing the deed?
I don't mean to defend any weirdos, and especially not rapists (not statutory ones either), but there are a lot of situations dads will freak out about that aren't illegal nor nefarious. Murder, even for seemingly emotionally justifiable reasons, should never just be OK.
As anyone who's gone to war will attest, it changes you. The people who can just do it and not be changed are ... probably dangerous people anyways...
Yeah just shades of awful
