Father Protects Daughter from Assault Using Concealed Firearm
In a recent incident that unfolded in Washington state, a father reportedly intervened when he found a rideshare driver sexually assaulting his daughter. The furious father took matters into his own hands, leading to both a physical confrontation and the discharge of a firearm, according to the Olympian.
The incident occurred near the Nisqually River, a popular fishing spot, at around 1 a.m. on a Saturday. Thurston County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the scene after reports of a weapons violation.
The father, whose daughter was being sexually assaulted, admitted to deputies that he had “beat up the driver a little bit,” and fired his gun. The Olympian added that two shell casings were found at the scene.
A motorist attempting to escape the scene was stopped by a deputy and found to be injured. As per Fox News, this motorist was identified as a rideshare driver who had transported a “highly intoxicated female.” The driver had injuries from the altercation, but was not shot, as confirmed by Sheriff’s Lt. Mike Brooks on Sunday.
Brooks also relayed to the Olympian that the father had discovered his daughter being sexually assaulted, fought with the driver, and fired the gun. The timeline of these events, however, remains unclear.
The rideshare driver, a 58-year-old man, received treatment for his injuries at Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia. Following his treatment, he was arrested on suspicion of first-degree kidnapping and second-degree rape.
In the wake of this incident, the public has been urged to provide any information they may have. The non-emergency dispatch line at 360-704-2740 and the email [email protected] are available for tip-offs.
This event has sparked widespread discussion, with nearly 1,000 comments appearing under the Fox News story republished on Yahoo News. Many commenters expressed sympathy for the father’s actions.
“The father did what every red-blooded American father would do to protect his daughter!” one person remarked. “Kudos to him for being a real father!”
Another commenter commended the father for “defending protecting his daughter, and tried his best to stop the criminal assault in progress,” adding that “He saved his daughter’s life.”
Meanwhile, one commenter found a silver lining: “It’s uplifting to have some good news for once,” they stated.
But some feared for the father’s freedom: “It’s Washington state, so the father’s freedom is still up in the air, but great job dad,” said another commenter. “Shame you didn’t put him underground.”
Even progressive individuals were supportive, with one stating: “I’m a progressive individual, but even I feel the dad was well within his rights as a father.” The incident highlights the lengths parents are willing to go to protect their children, even in dire circumstances.

An Arizona man has been charged with the murder of his childhood friend after the headless body of Alijah Bradley was discovered in the desert. The remains of the 24-year-old were found near Gila Bend, just days after his family had reported him missing.
Samuel Bush, 23, faces charges of second-degree intentional murder and concealing a body, with the charges being filed on September 4.
Bradley’s family was left puzzled over the motive behind the murder. A relative, who wished to remain anonymous, expressed their confusion to local news outlets KPHO and KTVK, stating, “We honestly don’t know. He was Sam’s best friend. He was Sam’s only friend.”
The family had reported Bradley missing on August 15 after he failed to show up for work and his mother had not heard from him. Bush had initially told the family he was unaware of Bradley’s whereabouts.
Using GPS coordinates, Bradley’s car was tracked to a remote desert location. On August 19, police found both the car and Bradley’s remains.
Authorities revealed that Bradley’s body had been dismembered, and confirmed that all parts of his remains had been recovered. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has yet to comment on a potential motive for the crime.
Bradley’s aunt, Melissa McNeal, shared her sorrow with ABC15, stating, “It’s devastating. He was just beginning his adulthood.” She added, “I don’t feel a relief or anything because – it doesn’t bring him back. It doesn’t fix anything.”
Bradley’s mother, who chose not to be named, committed herself to seeking justice for her son, saying, “I’m committing my life to obtaining justice for my son.”
Bradley was a Northern Arizona University graduate and had recently celebrated his birthday. A fundraising page set up for his family described him as being “known for his free spirit and wild soul.”

A California family experienced a terrifying ordeal during their Labor Day picnic when their 5-year-old son was attacked by a mountain lion. The incident occurred just before 4:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Tapia Day Use Area of Malibu State Creek Park in Calabasas, as reported by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.
The boy’s family and several other adults and children were enjoying their time when the mountain lion suddenly grabbed the child by the head and began to run.
“Somebody screamed the baby’s name, and his dad started running,” the boy’s aunt recounted.
“The father grabbed the mountain lion with his hands, and he just fought. Then the mountain lion let go.”
The dramatic rescue unfolded in front of about 40 onlookers, some of whom noted that the mountain lion appeared completely unafraid during the attack.
Male mountain lions can weigh up to 150 pounds and measure up to 8 feet in length, making the father’s actions even more heroic.
The boy was promptly airlifted to Northridge Hospital Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. He was released later that Sunday but had to return to the hospital on Monday due to complications involving his eyes.
Upon arrival at the scene, California State Park rangers and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) officers found the mountain lion crouched in a tree near the picnic area.
The animal was deemed a threat to public safety and was euthanized by a ranger.
Wildlife officers collected evidence from the boy’s injuries, including DNA swabs from the bite marks, which were matched to the mountain lion.
“CDFW and State Park officials are thankful that the family is safe, and the child is recovering and no one else was injured,” the CDFW stated.

Good father. Too bad the liberals are ruining the country by giving the criminals more rights and taking the rights of citizens to protect themselves and their families from the criminals.

the weapon was NOT concealed, when IT was needed for IT’s intended purpose. BTY, “we” can brandish firearms legally in Amerika. The ruling of the SCOTUS, that the gov’t. can restrict or screen away your 1st amendment rights (you MUST prove you were harmed) will also benefit the 2nd amendment. The criminal, we are watching or “observing” to secure our safety or our property, MUST prove that seeing our weapons, EVEN POINTED at them, caused him/them harm. Good for goose, good for gander. RESIST the INCOMPETANT ! Restore the republic of We the People. Away with the repeated law offenders. OFF with their heads. Live free and/or (they) die
