German man castrates daughter's lover

[CatInASuit]

A German man has pleaded guilty to the castration of his 17yr old daughters lover who was aged 57.

The police were powerless to do anything about the situtation, and indeed it has nothing to do with them, so with the aid of two colleagues, he went round and castrated him. The identities of the two colleagues have not been revealed.

Apparently, he saw it as his duty as a father to ensure his daughter was not involved with someone 40 years older than herself.

I'm trying to think of what punishment would be suitable for an attack like that?

[Sarahfeena]

Holy cow, I don't even know what's appropriate. Years in prison? To me that's like cutting off a leg, or worse. I mean, I kind of agree that the guy shouldn't have been boning a 17-year-old, but talk about overkill.

[Zuul]

Gaaaah. I'm not sure I can articulate an actual response to this other than frightened monkey sounds and hand flailing.

[runner pat]

That's nuts.

[Sarahfeena]

That's nuts.

Forgive me, poor castrated man. I laughed.

[Orual]

Oh, my. You'd think that a guy might try a 'stern talking to', or maybe a 'fight fight' in such a situation. Castration is just ... yeeessshhh.

Gaaaah. I'm not sure I can articulate an actual response to this other than frightened monkey sounds and hand flailing.

As the current, and God willing, long-term owner of nuts, same here.
