Well, I can't blame him if she is underage. If that is the case, sheriff did his duty as a father and an officer of the law in order to uphold the law and do right by his kid, so long as the judge did violate the sheriff's child.
Woodchipper feet-first for the lot of them, judicial firearm use is too kind.
“Judge, jury, and executioner” isn’t a compliment.
I'm sorry, no. No, no, no.
Don't care what the reason is, we don't do vigilantism. If someone diddles your daughter it's not your fatherly duty to murder and get jailed. It's your fatherly duty to ensure the fucker is locked up by law and that your daughter will be taken care of, THAT is your duty.
Leave vigilantism to Hollywood movies
When immoral crimes go unpunished due to a corrupt legal system, violence often follows. That judge isn't the first, nor will be the last, to learn that claiming to be "above the law" offers no real protection. A fair and functional legal system is essential for a less violent society. When justice isn't applied equally, violence rises. Laws don't prevent violence—they only punish it afterward. I imagine many people’s last words were some version of "too bad, because that's illegal."
Out of all people you'd expect a sheriff to be able to navigate the legal system to get the guy locked up without landing in prison himself. Provided this is real, obviously.
Seriously, just pull them over and shoot them for going for a gun. It's honestly harder for a cop to get in trouble for shooting someone.
I can respect the commitment to the bit that it must have taken to delete criticalthinking.ini entirely from your brain, but I can’t bring myself to respect even an iota of what it’s turned you into. You broke yourself, dude.

Wait until the republicans find out what happens at church.
The duty of a sheriff would have been to arrest the SoB, and not to fatally shoot him.
