Parents have a natural instinct to protect their children.
Mama bears will maim or even kill anyone who nears their cubs.
And a Tucson dad reportedly stabbed two men after he heard one of them sexually assaulted his daughter, according to an announcement from the Tucson Police Department.
While mama bears usually dont end up in jail, Tucson dad Alejandro Ruiz, 36, was arrested after the June 5 stabbing of two men.
Ruiz reportedly heard his 16-year-old daughter was sexually assaulted by an adult male while she was at a June 4 gathering at the guys house on West District Street, near South Sixth Avenue.
So Ruiz allegedly breaks into the guys house the next morning, stabbing both the 25-year-old guy and the guys 41-year-old uncle.
Both the sexual assault suspect and his uncle survived the stabbings, and Ruiz was quickly picked up by cops after he fled the scene.
Ruiz now faces charges of two counts of aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon and aggravated assault with serious physical injury as well as one count of first-degree burglary. Were guessing the latter is for breaking in the guys house.
Taking the law into our own hands is not really recommended. The justice system is supposed to take care of that. But rage, revenge and a parents natural instinct to protect his children are apt to override such recommendations.
And we still have to ask one question Was it worth it?
Perhaps the visceral act of plunging a dangerous weapon into someone who hurt your child outweighs the lawful course of action, which doesnt always guarantee the proverbial justice will be done. Perhaps avenging a wrong done to your child is worth any prison time.
A similar situation went down in March, when a Tucson dad Daniel Renteria, 27, reportedly shot and killed Richard Rue Jr., 40, and James J. Marschinke, 49, while the two were sitting in their front yard in the 5300 block of East 25th Street.
Marschinke is accused of sexually molesting Renterias 3-year-old son.
So far Renteria has been indicted for two counts of manslaughter, rather than first-degree murder, according to a report in the Arizona Daily Star, after grand jurors heard about the molestation accusations.
Sounds like these jurors agree that parents who take the law into their own hands to protect their children should get a bit of leeway.
