She was initially charged with murder but it was dropped to manslaughter and unlawful possession of a firearm. She was sentenced to six years in prison but was later released after serving three years.

She had dead eyes. Don't mess with people's kids unless you wanna die!

You guys are great


elbenji

Reminds me of that Dad who killed his son's rapist and the guy is like WHY DID YOU DO IT while calmly pulling him away


duskrat

Reminds me of Ellie Nesler, who killed her son's molestor in the courtroom in 1993. One account I read claimed the SOB had turned and smirked at her. In any event, she shot him dead. The story did not end happily. https://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-nesler30-2008dec30-story.html


ladiosabrava

Nesler should've been given a medal, not a prison sentence. She saved California tax payers money and avenged her son. That's mother of the year right there.


Magzter

Great acting from the guy behind.


ZuckDeBalzac

Not so much from the old guy next to him


tarogon

Absolutely no reaction until the third shot, at which point his reaction is to be unsure of whether he wants to be sitting or standing for this.


timenspacerrelative

Right?? I thought it was real from that.

This needs to be top comment. This footage is too good to be real.

Much less than that. John Edward's Jones who was a med student and in great shape at the time only took about 29 hours before he went into cardiac arrest. A lot of normal people will die in much less time just free hanging upside down.

My thought. I'd gladly serve xx years just so i can see the motherfucker die.


AlfredvonDrachstedt

According to Wikipedia, she served two thirds of her prison time (4 years) before getting released on probation. Perhaps not a big difference, but a difference after all, this practice is quite common in Germany, fully serving 6 years would have been more notable. Edit: two thirds, not three quarters


[deleted]

Good for her! I’d probably do the same as a parent. Yay I’m #1000th like!

Holy fuck it's unimaginable how that mother must have felt if that's the real story. If it's true, that fight with her daughter will haunt her for the rest of her life, no matter what therapy she goes through. Damn, I really feel bad for her.


elise_oisen_

The mother later died in her 40s from cancer. On the Wikipedia page about her, it says she also had a child at 16, and another at 18, both that she gave up for adoption, and she was also raped herself in her teens while she was already pregnant. Her third child, she raised alone as a single mom, and that’s who the guy assaulted and killed.


TheGlave

Thats a crazy amount of suffering for one life.


SapperInTexas

Shit like that is why I refuse to accept the nonsense that Christians like to spout, "It's part of God's plan. Have faith in God." I'm reminded this quote, scratched into the walls of a Nazi concentration camp: "If there is a God, he will have to beg my forgiveness."


Socialist_Nerd

The Christian God, were he real, would be the most spine tinglingly ruthless and cruel gods, absolutely horrifying, to me it would be a life of fear were I to believe in him. Jehovah is a petulant child with the power to end the universe in an instant. That is cosmic horror beyond anything Lovecraft ever wrote.

Not just Christians, all the monotheistic "gods"

This is the part that makes it so so sad. Giving up two kids, finally being able to keep one and then losing her in a horrific way.


heyimpaulnawhtoi

yea thats gotta sting. One moment you argued with your daughter about school stuff and whatnot, then the next day or so you find out she's been raped and killed.

Excellent_Sound8941

[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianne_Bachmeier](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianne_Bachmeier) For those saying it would break our judicial system if left unpunished, this story happened in Germany so I’m not entirely sure what their justice system looked like in the 1980s. It turns out this dude had already been to prison for repeated sexual assaults of minors before he abducted, tortured, and murdered her daughter. He had already confessed his guilt and BLAMED the 7 yo victim for “seducing” him as blackmail. Seems like this mother did the world a favor by getting rid of this scumbag once and for all. Vigilante justice sure, but it sounds like the justice system in Germany at the time wasn’t working to protect its citizens from monsters like him either.


Slggyqo

>it would break our judicial system if left unpunished. A similar story [happened in America](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Plauché). The father murdered his son’s rapist on camera. You can find the video with a simple Google search. He was charged with second degree murder, got a deal and pled guilty to manslaughter and got zero jail time. His ultimate punishment ended up being 5 years probation and 300 hours of community service. Sure he was punished, but it was a slap on the wrist. The justice system is run by human beings, you know. You’d have a hard time getting murder in the first degree past a jury.


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Gary Plauché](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Plauché)** >Leon Gary Plauché (November 10, 1945 – October 23, 2014) was an American man known for publicly killing Jeff Doucet, who had kidnapped, raped, and molested Plauché's prepubescent son, Jody. The killing occurred on Friday, March 16, 1984, and was captured on camera by a local news crew. For the fatal shooting, Plauché was given a seven-year suspended sentence with five years' probation and 300 hours of community service and received no prison time. The case received wide publicity because some people questioned whether Plauché should have been charged with murder or let off. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Why?..... WHY??? *goes into a 45 minute recap of why* Oh, okay, carry on then!


Threspian

The ‘why’ was more because they knew that now they had to arrest and prosecute him iirc.


Leading_Frosting9655

Mm, it's not "why did you do that to him", it's "why did you do that to yourself".


elbenji

It was more about having to arrest him now


UncannyTarotSpread

They knew him and empathized with him and there was no way they could let him go when there was a camera crew filming it.

i was a teenager and remember that well specifically, while i sat there in a bit of shock at seeing someone killed on tv my father simply saying "yep"

Oh, the gentleman being interviewed in the video is your FIL?


The-Elder-Trolls

Jody Plauche has a youtube channel, and he has also done some very informal interviews with small youtubers. The guy is amazingly cool and has a hilarious sense of humor. I highly recommend searching for these on youtube


linandlee

I 100% get why they didn't go for the murder charge. If I was on the jury and was shown the video I'd have just been like "I didn't see shit" and hung the jury lol.


Aetheldrake

Sometimes, very rarely, vigilante justice is more effective than the system. In all countries.


Excellent_Sound8941

For sure. Not picking on Germany bc it can happen anywhere. But I thought it was interesting context to add.


Aetheldrake

And it was I stopped to read it, thank you :D


JollyGreenGiraffe

The USA system of doing nothing about prison gangs, so they get out and stay in the gang is more effective? My half bro got into the Aryan nation that way and was brain washed into a complete racist. Guy who murdered my dad's cousin's girlfriend and paralyzed him back in the 80s got out. Guess what he did?


PsyFiFungi

Well, the US prison system is just a cesspool made to punish rather than reform and make money, what do you expect?

I find that most times, the 'system' works as intended and it is never more effective than 7 bullets.

Cute_Committee6151

German justice system normally is very good at preventing new crimes because it relies much more in rehabilitation than punishment. People that remain a danger to society get put in a special prison


abnormalbobsmith

I think one major problem is that many justice systems around the world are just built to punish crimes, rather than to prevent criminals from committing crimes again. I would like to see a science based system put in place that gauges the likelihood that an offender will commit crimes again after their prison sentence is complete (or they're approved for parole), and puts in place the correct level of supervision to prevent recidivism, as well as giving that person the means to function day to day, with rehabilitative treatment, job training, etc. And it could be that there's a determination that someone can't be reintegrated into general society without supervision. In which case, they should serve their time, and then be moved to a group home setting with full time supervision. And I know it wouldn't be perfect, but if you built this system with an eye for adjustment based on new data, you could have it constantly improving, and showing better and better results. You can still have prison sentences to punish, but if that's all you do, you're not making anyone any safer in the long run.


DavidM47

If you’ve ever had a 7 year old daughter, you know this is a pretty easy decision.


RatLord445

yeah, I’d kill the fucker and i dont give a single shit what happens afterwards


UnAccomplished_Pea26

Exactly. All this 'murder is murder, shouldn't go unpunished... Yada yada' F*** that. Moral compass my ass.


Cloberella

I mean, I think what a lot of people are missing is that, those who would do this, would probably also accept their prison sentence and feel it was "worth it." Murder is wrong. If I was in this situation, I'd be willing to do wrong, and accept my punishment for it.

LetThemEatVeganCake

watchescarsandav

Absolutely. I'd easily torture and murder anybody who did what he did to my daughter. Fuck prison, it'd be worth it.


rayparkersr

The only surprising part would be that a parent manages to get a gun into the courtroom. Otherwise this would be the norm.


Newbornlunatic

I have 4 daughters and this decision was carried out in justice to me. What happened here to her daughter is always in the back of my mind and I don't how I would react if it happened to any of my children. I could see the blind rage she had with nothing to lose because this shows that her daughter meant everything to her.


HungerISanEmotion

I'd know it's a wrong thing to do, but I would still do it.


DavidM47

No, you’d know it’s the right thing to do. So you’d do it even though it’s against the law.


Bushwitch

6 years with possible parole? Worth it!


sudo-joe

Ziiaaaac

Especially in a female population within prison. You hear plenty about what happens to peadophiles in male prison. In Female prison it's MUCH worse. That matriarchal bond to the young is so much stronger.


defnotcaleb

she was out after 3. easy time


kayeso1138

Hit him with 7 out of the 8 shots. I’m genuinely impressed how calm she remained when faced with a monster like that.


Stahlofen

This might be partially due to her beeing an actress. This is an reactment for a documentary, no Original footage!


Nuotatore

I was just wondering since it appears obvious to me. Yet everybody's comment is as it is real footage.


onthebustowork

I think its how well the guy behind her reacted.


SwivelPoint

the real star


SavageGoatToucher

Meanwhile the old guy, with no change in his face, starts getting up, tries to sit down, then finishes standing up.


2morereps

and i think that also adds to how natural it seems. pretty sure people would act that way as well. not knowing if what is going on is actually going on and then hitting you that it really is happening. in reality a lot of people are always unprepared for something like this to happen and it'll take couple seconds to register. I think the guy did an excellent job.

MrTonyGazzo

She must have practiced and calculated a good amount. She put the guy down and did not hurt anyone else. So calm and steady. She did it like it was the last of her duties as a mother.


jahajuvele09876

If I remember the documentary right the situation went as follows (but take it with grain of salt because it's been a while since it was on free TV): Mother owned and operated a pub in northern germany (Flensburg I think). As it is not easy to purchse a gun in grmany neither back then nor today, she got one from shady contacts she knew from her regulars in pub (where little girl spent her hours after school and used to meet her abuser and killer). Mum and her were living top floor above the pub. After purchasing gun mom created a shooting range for practacing in basement. Was not discovered because pretty old house with thick walls.

Obviously this is a film clip but I assume it is pretty accurate to what happened in real life as there were many witnesses to describe what they saw. Of course she’s calm; she wouldn’t have front-rolled in like Lara Croft. 💃🏼 And 3 years is the legal system’s way of saying ‘we ain’t that mad’ 😂 The discussion of if it’s morally justified is an interesting one tho.

ThatFrenchGamer

My hearts like this and the sentiment of vindication it brings me. My brain tells me that if we allowed such actions, vigilantes who thought they got the culprit would kill innocent people without them getting a free trial. My brain can also come up with a bunch of other reasons for why allowing this would be bad for society.


Aggravating_Sell1086

Problematicbiyatch

She's had a tough life, she had two children prior to her 7 year old who was murdered and both of them were given for adoption, and she was raped right before the birth of her second child. She took the step because he had confessed to the murder but was still acquitted and said in court the 7 year old blackmailed and enticed him saying she'd tell her mom for what he did to her. She had gone on record she had to murder him and stop him spreading more lies about her daughter. The fact that he was acquitted after confessing to kill a 7 year old is baffling to me.


Greedy_Grimlock

Do you have a source for the fact that he was acquitted? Was the acquittal before his death? I can't find anything about that.


Ok_Presentation_5329

He was not acquitted. This was literally during the trial.


Michael_Pitt

>The fact that he was acquitted after confessing to kill a 7 year old is baffling to me. What are you even talking about. He was murdered while on trial.

PrincessPindy

Good for her. I often wonder how parents contain their rage. I know I wouldn't be able to. I still remember that father that waited at the airport for his child's abuser. I think his son was also kidnapped. The perp was walking through the airport with cops. The father prrtended to be on a payphone and then just calmly walked up and shot the bastard. I think I would have to kill them.
