A civilization based upon lynch mobs, witch hunts, and declaring punishment for someone without even knowing half the facts or having any true investigation.
Your civilization sounds like Salem in the 1600s.
You seem to want it both ways, either the government get's involved or it doesn't.
The abuser should not receive protection that he abused doesn't have available to them.
You are ludicrous.
The girl is 23. She isn't even within the threat of any retribution from her father.
But the father's life is in jeopardy now. I hope you enjoy losing your own freedoms due to your own espoused belief in mob-justice.

Isn't it ironic that the only thing now defending this man is the government?

If that's the stance you want to take, then you should take the same stance for the victim of the abuse, nobody is stopping you from doing that.
What victim of abuse?
Oh someone who got hit with a belt?
What a joke.
The guy is about to face actual violence from random do-gooders, who are actually violent emotion-driven psychopaths who think they know best for everyone else and will threaten violence against those they disagree with.

Isn't it ironic that on point 1 = you say there is no danger.
Then in point 2 you say "he's being defended", defended from WHAT? From You and the rest of the lynch mob, that's who.
Point 1 was your pre-programmed falsehood, point 2 was reasonable and realistic.

Yes it is wrong to intervene in other people's lives and declare justice through mob-driven-retribution.
It is wrong to declare punishment before you know half the facts.
It is wrong to declare yourself judge, jury , and executioner.

Yes, shame on me for standing by my principals and denying the violent mob.
Yes, I sure am ashamed for not being violent by nature and actually believing in due process.

You just declared that you don't need to investigate or research into the surrounding information of a case to know what really happened.
You would make a horrible detective.

Just saying that doesn't make it so.
How exactly is it hypocritical to defend the legal rights of a citizen, and to deny a lynch mob it's desire to hang someone over pure-emotional-rage?
Please just wipe the foam off the mouth and think about it for awhile.

You can't see the hypocrisy there?
