Assault and murder is unacceptable unless your life is threatened. In this case the man obviously wasn't an immediate threat, and the legal issues that result from physically assaulting someone aren't worth the immediate but temporary gratification of kicking his ass. The appropriate response would have been to call the police, and allow them to take care of it. Prisons aren't known for treating sex offenders (and child abusers in particular) very kindly, and I have no doubt that this man would have ended up as Bubba's personal meat condom.
