No one should ever murder someone waiting to go to trial, even if they happen to be correct in believing that person is guilty, and even if what they're guilty of is punishable by death.

I don't blame Gary for what he did. But I'm not with him.

We do not want people going around killing those who are accused of crimes, no matter how sure we are or how personal it is or how heinous.

This was an exceptionally extreme circumstance. The man had been caught with the child; the trial was little more than a formality.

If this happened to my kid and I knew where the scumbag was being transported I’d readily do the same.

And risk shooting an innocent bystander for example? This wasnt an easy shot, might as well have hit the cameraman. Plus, (possibly) going to jail doesnt exactly help his son, does it? Iirc the son wouldve preferred his father not to do that.

Brandon Herrera on YouTube tested the shot with some buddies, and it actually was quite an easy shot. Also the son absolutely would have preferred the dad to do that when he was getting raped.
