?? What are the self-defense and defense of others laws in Russia? Such an action in most countries would be easily acquitted. Heck, it is highly unlikely that charges would ever be filed even if you didn't add in the pedophile aspect.

Since he walked in on the crime while it was happening he was within his rights to defend the child. Any reasonable person would assume that the kids very life was in danger and that action needed to be taken.

Now if he attacked a man for a rape that had been committed in the past, it would be a different story.

He should be given a medal.

Wrong. The man committed a crime and should receive punishment. He interrupted a pedophile rapist in action and killed him with a few blows due to his expertise as a boxer...THAT is his crime. Everyone knows that pedophile rapists caught in the act are supposed to live for a minimum of 30 minutes while you rips their nuts off with a hot iron. Then and ONLY then are you allowed to kill them.

So, yea, he has to be punished for not following protocol. I think the official punishment for that crime is receiving a $50,000 check from the government.

He should have the book thrown at him.

I'm not a professional boxer, but I started amateur boxing when I was 12, I always wonder what would happen if I hit someone unfettered in a good spot (jaw, temple, throat, solar plexus).

Apparently if you have a boxing license and you get in a fight, you get in way more trouble.
