An Oklahoma father beat a pastor after he caught him inappropriately touching his nine-year-old son while the dad staked out school bus stop and recorded the incident, police say.
By the time Oklahoma City Police arrived to the scene, Michael Coghill, 33, had been left with a fractured skull and a black eye.
Coghill has been charged with indecent act to a child and is detained at Oklahoma City Detention Center after the father showed the recording to police.
On Wednesday, the boy’s father decided to take matters into his own hands and headed to the bus stop with his son. He parked the car where the child was visible, waited for Coghill to show up and recorded the alleged incident.
‘While he was watching the school bus stop, our suspect ran by him, ran past the bus stop where the children were waiting. Turned around, came back and stopped where he touched the child,’ Sgt. Dillon Quirk said.
After recording the incident, the enraged dad confronted Coghill before pummeling him and leaving the cleric with a fracturing skull and cracked left orbital socket, cops said.
I’m fine with this. Clearly the police are too.
I know Miguel’s feelings on lynching but if a man catches someone touching his child, all bets are off.
I applaud the father’s restraint.
This isn’t a lynching.
This is immediate response to protect one’s child.
Yes. Under NH state law deadly force would be authorized here (RSA 627.4(II)(c): “(c) Is committing or about to commit kidnapping or a forcible sex offense; ”
And that is as it should be.
I’m told child molesters don’t do well in prison. Good.
He earned more. Much more. He earned, the chip-O-matic, feet first. At just above idle.
He should count himself GD lucky. And the courts should STFU.
imo
On a Morbark chipper, you engage the head at 800 engine RPM, then you can cut the throttle to 600 and it is happy to idle forever like that. The chipper knife spins at half engine RPM and it’s a single knife design so the knife swings round only 5 times per second at idle…
Wait 2-3 more weeks. And then the local prosecutor will file charges. Because that is what usually happens when an appropriate response against a thug/criminal/molester happens.
I would expect that here in Dallas, but I think it’s much less likely in Oklahoma City. Just a gut instinct; we’ll see. You could well be right, but I hope not. No offense. 🙂

I think Christopher Titusnhad a good idea for scum like this. “Form a single file line because, well, I only brought one nail gun.”

There might be charges if hunting over bait is illegal in Oklahoma City 😀
