Did gold digger kill her elderly boyfriend?
William Kelly Shoots Daughter's Abusive Boyfriend, Randall Carter, in the Balls
UPDATE: There may be another reason why William Kelly shot his daughter's boyfriend in the balls. Randall Carter is 29; Amanda Kelly is only 18. Dad couldn't have been happy that his high-school age daughter was prancing around with a much older man...
When police in Navarre, Florida received a call for a noise complaint, they arrived to find a bleeding man running toward them along with his girlfriend. The man's groin was dripping blood, and he was screaming that he'd been shot.
Amanda Kelly told a deputy that her dad, William Russell Kelly Jr., had shot her boyfriend Randall Carter at their home. The reason for dad's ire, according to the younger Kelly: "He hates him, dude."
William readily admitted to the shooting, but claims a different motive. He says he unloaded his .45 revolver, which he affectionately calls "The Judge," because Carter was assaulting this daughter. "I shot him in the nuts with bird-shot because he was beating my daughter," Kelly told police.
He's been charged with aggravated battery. Carter, meanwhile, has already received his sentence for messing with an armed man's daughter.



I don't see a crime here. Man abuses girlfriend; man gets shot in the balls by girlfriend's father. Case closed.
Posted 02/17/2010 at 02:56:46 PMThat guy is awesome!
Posted 02/17/2010 at 02:57:11 PMThis guy might be new my hero! That is just awesome! Hope the guy learned is lesson! Mess with someones daughter, you might get shot! And what a good place to shot him!
Posted 02/17/2010 at 03:05:07 PMYES!!!
This WONDERFUL father deserves a METAL!!! Too bad his daughter does NOT think of herself as highly as her father does!
He did NOT give her life to be some asshole's PUNCHING BAG!
Posted 02/17/2010 at 04:15:36 PMI agree. What kind of an idiot beats a man's daughter in front of him? He had no choice but to shoot him in the nuts b/c if he shot him in the head, obviously, he would have damaged anything. The funny thing is he's never going to be able to follow the doctor's orders and will probably be nursing that injury for years b/c his dumb ass will keep pulling out the stitches wacking off!
Posted 02/17/2010 at 06:15:51 PMscore!!
Posted 02/17/2010 at 07:16:42 PMGreat News! This dad rocks big tym. Don't mess with the daughter of a guy that has a gun which happens to be a bad ass too.
Posted 02/17/2010 at 07:21:49 PM"The Judge" is a .45 handgun made by Taurus that can shoot a 410 shotgun shell. The sight of the gun alone is pretty damn sobering. I bet that's what this dad used and is referring to.
Posted 02/17/2010 at 09:44:49 PMGreat news, minus one asshole in this world...
Posted 02/17/2010 at 09:48:30 PMWell looks like he messed with the wrong guys daughter huh? Good enouph . Seems this guys daughter was taking the side of her boyfreind afterwards? Did I understand that right she "rushed" out to police at her boyfriends side.
Posted 02/17/2010 at 09:54:05 PMI can't believe you're all siding with the hick who shoots people. You don't know the girl was being assaulted, and she even says after the guy is in the hospital that that wasn't the reason for the shooting. Hell, he's assaulting someone, let's shoot him too. Then someone will shoot us. Notice how that's not a good solution.
Dumb fucks.
Posted 02/18/2010 at 12:13:29 AMI say we shoot david in the nuts for blasphemy!
Posted 02/18/2010 at 07:59:05 AMI second that! Blasphemer!!!
Posted 02/18/2010 at 04:38:04 PMSo..he shot him with a pistol that shoots bird-shot. Y'all are really, really stupid. Shotguns shoot bird-shot. .45 Revolvers shoot .45 caliber bullets. Complete ignorance. Get your facts straight before posting shit like this on the internet.
Posted 02/18/2010 at 05:01:18 PMIgnorance hater-
Posted 02/18/2010 at 05:48:39 PMMaybe you should do some research before you shoot off your mouth, dummy. They do make and sell .45, 9mm and other caliber non-lethal shot shells for pistols. Do a google for "shot shells for pistols" and the first thing that comes up is a cabelas page.
Dear Ignorance Hater,
The Judge, made by Taurus, is six shot revolver that shoots both .45 Long Colt AND .410 bird shot rounds. Get YOUR facts straight before posting shit like this on the internet. More than complete, I'd say you give evidence of perfect ignorance.
Posted 02/18/2010 at 06:16:05 PMIgnoranceHater.. You are an idiot. I assume you hate yourself, because you, are ignorant.
Posted 02/18/2010 at 07:28:04 PMthis was a case of not self defense but being able to protect ones child.
Posted 02/18/2010 at 08:30:36 PMIs he considering running for President in 2012? I'd vote for him!

Nah... david has no nuts
Posted 02/18/2010 at 08:50:51 PMThis is the kind of story that makes every man cross his legs for a minute without even realizing it. I don't care what I've done. If somebody shoots my 'nads, I'm coming back with battery acid in the face, then ye good ol' blowtorch - starting at the feet and working my way up. That old man better not ever come around me. I mean, damn! Why didn't he just pistol whip the son-of-a-gun. If a man goes after another man's balls, he's a traitor to all men.
Posted 02/18/2010 at 08:53:32 PMmarie heck.. ever thought about reading what you wrote.. let alone talking about how cool it is for someones misfortune in your eyes you can't even properly say shoot instead of shot.. IDIOT
Posted 02/18/2010 at 08:54:58 PMMan I just hope people like those who commented here don't sit for jury duty. Clearly, shooting someone in the balls is not a fitting punishment for assault. If this is OK with you all,why not start the Saudi tradition of stoning people over here as well? I'm not condoning the BF for what he allegedly did, but the punishment IMHO did not fit the crime. Yes, I'm a blasphemer.;=) Who's proud of it.
Posted 02/18/2010 at 08:58:08 PMLove the comments! Everyone is so macho! It makes me proud to be an American! (see Palin for satire).
Posted 02/18/2010 at 09:07:18 PMI am going to put money on that motherfuckers books if he goes in....my hero!
Posted 02/18/2010 at 09:07:48 PMI am on the fence on this one ladies and gents. If it was my daughter being beaten and my husbanad shot this guy I certainly woul'dnt be all that sympathetic. On the other hand if this was my son dating this young girl and he WAS"NT actualy beating her than it would be a whole seperate ball of WAX.
Posted 02/18/2010 at 09:12:10 PMDo any of you actually know if the BF was really beating the girl? Unless there is another news report that you have read which gives more info, you are all jumping the gun.
Remember that the girl was running toward the police with the BF. A little odd if he was beating her, wouldn't you say?
Posted 02/18/2010 at 09:29:39 PMWhat kind of a father would he be if DID NOT PROTECT HIS DAUGHTER. The turdhead is lucky he just got shot in the nuts. He could of shot him in the face. It was damn apparent he did not want to kill him. Bird shot, in the balls. In vietnam it was common to cut off gentiles and then stuff them in the mouth of the body.
Posted 02/18/2010 at 09:32:21 PMYea you know because no girl that's ever been beat by her boyfriend or husband has ever stuck by him right SickOfStupidPeople? That NEVER happens.
Posted 02/18/2010 at 09:36:08 PMhe is damn lucky it was not in the hills of certain southern states
Posted 02/18/2010 at 09:37:13 PMIt is funny to read the comments, the woman are all for the father shooting the bf in the nuts, but the majority of the men aren't.
Posted 02/18/2010 at 09:37:45 PMBut lets face it The Humane Society has proven that most men wont even get their dogs fixed because they somehow confuse their own manhood with their dogs penis. So most men are certainly not going to be comfortable with someone shooting some guy in the nuts even if he had killed his daughter.
My Dad always told me there's three types of people you never wanna mess with: A druggie, an insane person or a pissed off Dad. All three don't care at all what you feel or think.
Posted 02/18/2010 at 09:42:39 PMI used to absolutely love having talks with my daughters boy friends. I had a bunch of good lines for them.
My fav was; "I will always love her more than you". Or; "Consider her a fine crystal glass... You break her and I'll walk through the gates of hell to make sure you never hurt another mans daughter ( I say this as I stare deep in his eyes and increase my grip on his shoulder until he squirms). I also liked showing them my knife collection and my skills at cutting.
Clint Eastwood as... WILLIAM RUSSELL KELLY.
Posted 02/18/2010 at 09:46:21 PMWhat is troubling about this story is that the "woman beater" and the "woman too stupid to leave a woman beater" may be ignorant enough to create a human life together and teach that baby by example how to live like white trash too. Hopefully, Dad took care of cleaning up that gene pool with his own version of planned parenthood :-) Where can we contribute to his legal defense fees?
Posted 02/18/2010 at 10:28:12 PMmaybe the daddy was geaolous of the daughter's boyfriend nuts because he doesn't have any
Posted 02/18/2010 at 10:54:25 PMRuss, you mean you would go after a dad for trying to protect his family? what you said reminded me of my late father. that even if i was to defend myself. i was NEVER to hit a guy there. my sensei got my dad POed. he told my dad that if someone tried to harm me. that he better hear the dogs howling from five states away.
Posted 02/18/2010 at 11:25:40 PMnow since my sensei is also my man and the father of my daughter. we both agree. she gets assaulted by her man. her soon to be ex will be eating his testes, fried.

You,sir, are spot on with your observance of the true hypocrisy of vengance ...but at the same time,if anyone ever touched my kids... that is the first thing I would shoot for... I wouldn't want to kill the bastard,I would want him to live a long,solitary life in jail with no manhood left
Posted 02/19/2010 at 12:12:32 AMWell personally, as a father of three daughters, I fully endorse this blokes actions (the father of the girl who's boyfriend he shot) and would/will gladly contribute to his defense fund. For those saying that men have problems discussing removing another mans testicles... if that thing was abusing his daughter in any way... he is not a man, so therefore remove the parts that would make others mistakenly believe that he is a man.
I think Maureen said it best. "Too bad his daughter does NOT think of herself as highly as her father does!
He did NOT give her life to be some asshole's PUNCHING BAG!"
Even if one of my daughters does not think of themselves highly enough... they will always be my daughters and I will always thnk highly of them and not allow them to be hurt at all. When seconds count the police are minutes away. I say good on this guy. I hope that some day his daughter will realize how much he loves her and wants to protect her.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 01:09:53 AMEveryone is blowing this out of proportion. The boyfriend was shot with bird shot from a gun with a 6 inch or less barrel. He isn't severely damages, just frightened. His wiener will still work (sadly). Perhaps even sadder is the fact that he has lived to beat a woman another day. Someone hits my daughter, I will beat the s**t out of them. They do it again, I will kill them. Thats that, you don't mess with my family, period.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 02:43:55 AMMARIEHECK ISDUMB,
Its called a typo, idiot. Ever made one? Obviously you have since it should have been MARIE HECK IS DUMB, or bunched altogether, MARIEHECKISDUMB. Stupid grammar nazis!! Do you have nothing better to do than critize someones typo's?!?! Get a life!
And if some a$$hole ever harms my daughter, his balls would be the least of his problems! I don't give a crap about his misery or troubles. Not really my problem! My main concern in life is my 4 year old daughter. You hurt her, you better hope the law gets to you before I do!
Posted 02/19/2010 at 02:51:53 AMHis OWN daughter told the cops her dad shot her boyfriend because he hates him!! The guy is a lunatic if that's the case ... NOT a hero!
Amanda Kelly told a deputy that her dad, William Russell Kelly Jr., had shot her boyfriend Randall Carter at their home. The reason for dad's ire, according to the younger Kelly: "He hates him, dude."
Posted 02/19/2010 at 03:05:00 AMAw, how sweet! I have an imposter! I have been coming to this site for about 5 months now and I was starting to wonder when that was gonna happen! Some people have entirely WAY too much time on their hands! Get a life loser!
Posted 02/19/2010 at 05:36:32 AMYES! That'll learn his punk ass!
But he should've used a .45 slug instead of the bird shot, if ne-1 done that to my daughter I sware I'd do time.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 08:13:07 AMThe victim is referred to the doctor's brother. The guy asks the doctor," Is your brother a doctor too?" "No he says, He's a piccolo player and he'll show you where to hold your fingers so you don't pee in your own face when you go."
Posted 02/19/2010 at 08:41:33 AMThe punishment received , albeit not from the courts, fits the crime!
Posted 02/19/2010 at 09:17:16 AMAs a father of 3 daughters, I say "WAY TO GO DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I too keep a pistol loaded with bird shot incase the need arrises.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 09:34:07 AMMr. Kelly doesn't 'affectionately' call his revolver "The Judge", it's called "The Judge" by its manufacturer, Taurus, and can chamber .410 shotgun or .45 Colt. It has a shorter-barrel version called "The Public Defender", and since both have rifled barrels they circumvent the law prohibiting a shotgun with a barrel less than 18". Try one out. Like the Kodak Instamatic, it's the ultimate 'point & shoot'!
Posted 02/19/2010 at 09:35:08 AMI’m sure the tax payers will have to foot the bill for no nads to get a new bionic willie.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 09:50:31 AMI applaud the father for wanting to protect his daughter. The scumbag had it coming.
Unfortunately, no matter how justified it might be - Dad still broke the law, and will be punished accordingly.

He said, "When the need arrises." LMAO That would be a good time to use the bird shot.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 09:56:00 AMIgnorance Hater,
You really stepped in that one. Not only is there 'The Judge' (of which I have one, and it's loaded with some .410 shells right now), but there are several other manufacturers that sell handguns that shoot .45long colt, and .410 shells.
I have a Thompson Center Encore which can shoot both (without switching barrels).
I also believe that "The Judge" is Taurus' best selling firearm. Not only do I have one, but my father has one.
And on a technical mailing local mailing list, it was highly recommended for home defense.
You are pretty ignorant.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 09:56:12 AMWill everyone claiming that the BF didn't do it just because the daughter was by his side while running to the cops please stop? Admittedly, he may have done nothing and the dad's just a nut-job, but her being at his side is proof of nothing. The vast majority of women in abusive relationships, especially early on in the relationship, will actually throw themselves in front of the abuser to protect him if he is caught and retaliated against by a third patty. That's unfortunately a common phenomena in abusive relationships. It doesn't mean the BF was innocent of anything.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 10:04:19 AMI'm surprised they're charging him. Waste of taxpayer money to even attempt to take it trial.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 10:10:57 AMWhat's that movie line from 9to5? "Turn him from a rooster to hen"...the victim, er, boyfriend, should be made to pay for the shells that were used and told to keep his hands to himself. The girl should have her ass whipped for allowing him to do that to her. The father should be sent to the pistol range to practice his shooting with "the judge" so he won't have to use a shotgun.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 10:18:44 AMI live in rural Nevada. I carry my pistol every day. The cartridge in the chamber right now is what we call a "snake load." It's actually just a 10mm Auto cartridge loaded with bird shot. You can buy them in various calibers for semi-auto or revolver.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 10:39:33 AMI fully applaud the father, but I would not have shot him to cause blood loss. I would have broken a bone as a permanent reminder to NOT hit my daughter.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 10:40:30 AMWay to go Dad. I also own a Judge. It's loaded with 00
Posted 02/19/2010 at 10:45:28 AMBuckshot and 45LC. Taurus called it "The Judge" because
Most Judges carry it under their robes in the courtroom.
The BF got off light... Here in the deep south, he would
have just dissapeared.
This solves 2 problems for the Dad.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 10:46:26 AM#1 the abuse immediately stopped.
#2 even if i go to jil for the shooting, and my daughter remains too stupid the leave the abuser. At least I hope got him well enough to prevent my daughter from birthing the abusers offspring.
I disagree with his solution. He should have shot him in the nuts, reloaded and then shot him in the nuts again.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 11:05:41 AMThe kid needs to learn "The Shotgun Boogie"!
Posted 02/19/2010 at 11:21:43 AMHey.. mess with me.. I'll hurt ya.. mess with my kids, you're dead.. I'd say Daddy showed real restraint..
Posted 02/19/2010 at 11:23:34 AMWell if that child had messed with my daughter, about all I can say is that it did occur in Florida, and hell, the gators gotta eat too.
And isn't it amazing that one shot to the ten ring certainly solves a host of future problems...
Posted 02/19/2010 at 11:23:45 AMDid the dad actually see said boyfriend abusing his daughter- or did the daughter merely "say" that the boyfriend was abusing her? Why ask this question? God knows, women never lie (e.g., to their Fathers), about abuse, paternity-fraud, rape, etc. in order to manipulate anyone- just ask the Duke three (3).
If the dad reacted on mere hearsay- I only hope that the offended party reciprocates w/ a full blown shotgun on both that Dad & his charming daughter.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 11:53:03 AMlets not pick on David ,he should be rewarded for his compassion,with a hunting trip with chenney!
Posted 02/19/2010 at 11:53:18 AMHEY IGNORANCE HATER. MUST BE HELL HATING YOURSELF
THANKS TO THOSE OF YOU FOR TRYING TO EDUCATE HIM ON "THE JUDGE" WHICH I HAVE TO SAY IS JUST ABOUT THE SEXIEST PIECE OF METAL EVER MADE & IT MAKES THIS 5FT 120 POUND FEMALE FEEL VERY SAFE TO HAVE THE "LAW" ON HER SIDE.
GUN CONTROL MEANS USING 2 HANDS, BUT IGNORANCE HATER IS TOO BUSY USING ONE OF THEM FOR OTHER THINGS TO KNOW THAT.
DAD, YOU GO MAN!!!!!!!!!! & ANY PERSON THAT MESSES WITH MY BOYS SHOULD READ THIS STORY & BE AFRAID, VERY AFRAID!

That was not his foot he had in his mouth. More like tube steak.
Dad did what all Dads should do. Take care of their kids. Maybe his daughter is too dumb to learn from this, but her butt-hole boyfriend will.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 12:28:40 PM"...which he affectionately calls "The Judge" "
Posted 02/19/2010 at 12:31:43 PMNo. Duh. There is a revolver named The Judge specifically made to fire 410 shotshells. Lamestream media.
People keep asking if the girl was really being beaten, she's young and in love, do people really think she understands love enough to know what's happening to her? Millions of mature women deal with domestic violence everyday, convinced that it's their fault and they really love the dude.
Reality is, if the boy was assaulting the daughter in her own home, daddy dearest could have unloaded a .45 shell in his head and called it a day. I didn't realize the Taliban treatment of women is so main stream in America. As the father of two daughters I take my hat off to the guy. Is there a better way? Always, but usually not at the forefront of anyone's brain in a violent situation. Dude should feel lucky to be alive.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 12:38:12 PMSounds like this young man has his "out-ee" made into an "in-ee". This is no less than abusers deserve.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 12:56:14 PMSounds like this young made had his "out-ee" turned into an "in-ee". Its no less than abusers deserve.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 12:57:37 PMI hope the dad is found not guilty.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 01:24:16 PMThey should make sure it's a jury of his peers. And by his peers, I mean men with daughters who date losers.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 01:58:44 PMHow appropriate "Ignorance Hater" post ignorant statements.
Is that due to ignorance or stupidity ?
Now, that reminds me, I need to order some more bird shot shells for my .45.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 01:59:13 PMHollywood Russ -- That would be a bad move...unless you want to get shot in the dick, too.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 02:14:12 PMMoral of the story, Ignorance Hater: Never castigate someone for being not smart enough on the internet. There's always someone smarter than you who's bound to light you up. It's the great spirit's way of maintaining our humility and graciousness. I've been forcibly reminded of that lesson a time or three myself.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 02:17:45 PMMake My Day Punk
Posted 02/19/2010 at 02:31:15 PMthe father shouldn't be dicking around in his daughters relationships shows deep rooted problems with him and his daughter maybe now we know why she was getting beat, fathers lucky most men who beat their wives would kill him for that.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 02:42:11 PMYou should have some sort of evidence that the boyfriend is doing bad things in the first place before inflicting irreversible damage on him. A large number of things could invoke the ire of a southern conservative who keeps his nicknamed shotgun close by. I'd say domestic abuse is probably pretty far down the list of likely scenarios.
Send the dad to jail. In a civilized society we ask questions first and shoot later.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 02:43:53 PMevidence? evidence? What is the last sentence in this story? Carter had already been convicted of the crime. Good enough for the courts...good enough for me. But, I will exact my revenge on those who choose to assault, abuse or otherwise hurt my family, needless to say my daughter. Wah to go Mr. Kelly (but next time, check your load to make sure it's the .45, not weenie little bird shot...sorry for the pun)
Posted 02/19/2010 at 03:14:32 PMWhat is the age, race, religon, educational background, record etc. Come on tell us something about these peculiars?
Posted 02/19/2010 at 03:26:43 PMthe weapon was most likely the TAURUS JUDGE named by the manufacture not the owner it with either shoot a .410 bird shot or a .45 colt long. it would help if you guys did ther proper reasearch instead of makeing him seam crazy.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 03:28:27 PM"David" obviously beats women for fun.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 03:32:02 PMWow, yeah, what's up with so many people celebrating the fact that a man shot another man in the balls? Sure, the old dude claims that the young man beat the girl, but SOMETIMES PEOPLE LIE. Especially when they've done something horrible like shooting another man in the nuts. He may very well have done it because he's old and crazy, and then needed a quick excuse that would buy him sympathy: "he was beating my daughter". Then all you freaks fall for it, believe it unconditionally and congratulate him, as though you have any idea what actually happened...
Thankfully you folks won't be on the jury. And hopefully the legal system will be able to figure out the truth.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 04:50:17 PMAMEN DAD! Hell hath no fury like a DADDY PISSED!! LMAO.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 05:32:24 PMPeople - read the ENTIRE story. BF is already doing time therefore (useless justice system aside) he did the crime so I think the question of IF has been sufficiently answered. I don't condone violence but if someone lays a hand on my daughter, I will take my second degree black belt and kick his scrawny little ass all the way back to whatever hole he crawled out of. Using your bare hands is much more satisfying than a gun anyway.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 05:53:56 PMI'd love to sit on the jury for this man...not guilty! If someone previously had not the hell out of that jerk, he wouldn't think it was okay to smack around women. Way to go, dad!
Posted 02/19/2010 at 06:17:02 PMActually David, that only keeps going as long as they both have parents. Dad shoots boyfriend. Boyfriend's mother shoots dad. Dad's mother shoots boyfriend's mother, Boyfriend's mother shoots.... wait.. they're probably all dead at this point already, aren't they? Problem solved!
Posted 02/19/2010 at 06:17:58 PMThe person who said millions of women daily experience domestic violence is a liar. DV simply is not that common. Studies show that women themselves report less than 3% of women report anonymously being recipient of any violence in a year, and men also report anonymously that less then 3% of them commit violence in a year.
4.2% of women admit having committed violence in an entire year.
This is a far cry from millions of women experiencing DV on a daily basis.
I am here in Mexico to get away from insane women like you.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 06:53:35 PMWhy did he use bird shot? .45 Cal, don't they make .45 ball ammo anymore?
Posted 02/19/2010 at 07:32:33 PMOuch!
Posted 02/19/2010 at 08:00:45 PMYou, SickOfStupidPeople, are such a ignorant jerk. I have been on tons of domestic calls as a Reserve Cop and EMT. When you arrive you have to watch your back, many times the victim female will jump you once you arrest her beater male. I have known responders being beaten, scratched, clubbed and in the case of one rookie stabbed to death by the victim female. Never forget that in the storm of event, women are driven by emotion and hormones, the perpetrator male is driven by selfishness and pride.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 08:37:03 PMThey make bird shot in .45. It is used for shooting vermin. Seems applied practically here. I'm a dad, and I say the bastard is lucky to be living.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 08:58:59 PMDon't any of you actually want to know the FACTS before passing judgement? This tiny little news story doesn't really give a detailed account of events. I've never beaten a woman, but her dad just pointing a gun at me would make me run like hell. And no woman I've ever known would follow me to the hospital if I'd just beaten her. Ask a few questions people.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 09:14:33 PMAnyway haven't any of you heard about the Italian Chef who is deep in it for giving a recipe for Cat Stew! I can understand the anger - one recipe ! I've got hundreds!
Posted 02/19/2010 at 09:58:21 PMi'm probably going to get verbally attacked for saying this, but maybe i fathers would spend more time helping develop their daughter's concept of self worth instead of worrying about what type of ammo their guns carry, maybe more women would know they don't deserve to be treated like that and get help the right way if someone dares lay a hand on them.
having said that, if a man ever hurt me, i know that i'd have to have him arrested for his own protection. because my dad, my brother and all of the able bodied males in my family would be out for his blood.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 10:12:32 PMNICE! way to go dad! he deserves a medal and a father of the year award.. as for the bad boyfriend, he'd be wishing on some nuts for xmast.
Posted 02/19/2010 at 10:20:07 PMI have one problem with this story. The girl was still standing by the abusive boyfriend. Are you friggin kidding me. Hats off to Mr. Kelly, remember temporary insanity due to parental protective instincts is an affirmitive defense. not that I think a jury would convict for this
Posted 02/19/2010 at 11:45:09 PMwow just read some of these comments, you actually dont think a parent should protect their children, And get facts straight ALOT of people stay in abusive relationships. Someone said it before but they will stand by that person denying the abuse even when there is physical evidence. As far as people calling him a hick why b/c he lives in Florida, and I think youre showing what kind of person (using the term loosely) you are just by calling him a hick, I hope those of you crticizing Mr. Kelly never have kids, you just dont get it
Posted 02/20/2010 at 12:03:15 AMI’m not going to comment on the rest of the story. There are too many variables at play to make an educated judgment, that’s my opinion only. However, the phrase [He says he unloaded his .45 revolver, which he affectionately calls "The Judge,"] is just lazy journalism. I suspect we’ll see soon see a article reading [“a drug dealer was arrested on charges of aggravated assault after shooting a rival with a semiautomatic pistol he affectionately refers to as “The Hi Point”.] How about a little investigation with the next report?
Posted 02/20/2010 at 08:43:44 AMHollywood Russ said "If a man goes after another man's balls, he's a traitor to all men."
Typically, I agree going after another mans nuts is an extreme violation od basic man-code. However. like with every rule there are exceptions. Shooting a man in the balls for beating your daughter is a perfectly acceptable response.

Where people think they are important because no one can see their faces.
Posted 02/21/2010 at 12:58:44 AM"My fav was; "I will always love her more than you". Or; "Consider her a fine crystal glass... You break her and I'll walk through the gates of hell to make sure you never hurt another mans daughter ( I say this as I stare deep in his eyes and increase my grip on his shoulder until he squirms). I also liked showing them my knife collection and my skills at cutting."
All well and good, but I've heard that from folks who also will pull their son aside and say "Hey son, you gettin' any of that? Heh heh!" when introduced to the girlfriend.

Posted 02/21/2010 at 02:41:46 PMThe 48-year-old Kelly told police he shot 29-year-old Randall Carter to protect his 18-year-old daughter.
What 29 year old scum bag is chasing after 18 year old girls? One with birdshot in his junk. Anyone defending Randall Carter is a typical perv and might just end up with birdshot in their junk someday. Well done Mr. Kelly.
Posted 02/21/2010 at 05:28:01 PMIrlandes, look at your statistics. If you take the U.S. population alone, it was over 305 million in 2009. Being conservative with your numbers, 2% of that number is 6,100,000! Maybe you're skewing the facts by thinking of it as "within a year," but do you think these guys only beat their wives on their anniversary? No, they do it several times per year, hence saying millions of women are subjected to it on a daily basis. Did we need to quantify how many days out of the year that happened to satisfy your misogyny? You stand corrected. What on earth would be the point of denying that in the first place? It reminds me of downplaying the holocaust. "Oh, there were SOME jews killed, just not the millions the history books tell us."
Posted 02/21/2010 at 05:41:43 PMIF the daughter was being abused, BRAVO to Mr. Kelly! Too often victims of abuse are dead or at the least, severely injured by the time police get to the scene. All fathers have the roght to protect their children by any means necessary. What parent in their right mind would stand by & watch their child being abused & say "Well, the police are on their way-hope he doesn't get too many more punches in before they get here"? I would love to be on this jury!!
Posted 02/21/2010 at 07:57:42 PMOkay, I understand the parent side kicking in and wanting to shoot the guy but that doesn't mean he should have acted on it. What the dad did was just as wrong. Plus, unless the daughter gets counseling about why she chooses losers and abusers, she's just going to choose another abusive guy. This dad's shooting days are probably not over.
Posted 02/21/2010 at 09:11:07 PMHis shooting days not being over is the best news I have heard in a long time. You go dad and keep cleaning out the gene pool. I agree the daughter needs help, but as a father of 2 daughters (23 & 29) and a gun owner, if I ever see some dirtbag raising a hand to my daughter I might not take the time to load birdshot, a 223 in the balls won't kill him, but will sure make him wish he were dead!
Posted 02/21/2010 at 11:11:01 PMMr. Kelly, your only defence needs to be, "HE NEEDED SHOOTING"
Now there is a good dad :)
Posted 02/21/2010 at 11:45:27 PMThink of what a nice world this would be IF everyone KNEW that EVERY father in this world would DO just EXACTLY that.
Posted 02/21/2010 at 11:49:23 PMThe last sentence of the article is a joke signifying that getting shot in the balls was the sentence for his crime. The bf hasn't been convicted or even charged with anything.
Please stop being so stupid. The lot of ye.
Posted 02/22/2010 at 06:25:15 AMScore!!
Posted 02/22/2010 at 07:41:50 AMI want to know from when did this douche bag started seeing this teen ?? What kind of guy would like to date a girl who is younger by 11 years?? She is still a kid .. and there is no true love in this age ..it is all physical attraction and mental destruction. What dad did somewhat justifies, but where was he when his daughter started seeing this dolt?? This should open up a whole new debate!!
Either way this incident made me laugh!!
Posted 02/25/2010 at 12:01:00 PMThe daughter could be lying. She might have been beaten, but think that she can control him or that this is the best thing she is ever going to get.
We don't know, if her boyfriend beat her. I think however there should be an escalation of force. If some one is being beaten, if it is not life threatening like a punch on the shoulder, maybe a verbal warning is in order. If that doesn't work maybe you get physical. All though given relative strength that may be ill advised. You could threaten calling police & tell them you are taping it with a cell phone (should help convict them). If it justified why not shoot him in the lower leg or arm. If you shoot a warning shoot or wing them & they come after you, go ahead, put them down for good. Now he has to watch his back. You won't always get the drop on somebody. It is better to be good.
Posted 02/25/2010 at 12:07:01 PMI would certainly WANT to shoot this douche in the balls if he was f*cking around with my 18-year-old daughter! I just hope that the Dad doesn't end up doing time or having to pay this idiot 29-year-old a settlement because he can't get it up any more....
Posted 02/25/2010 at 12:17:07 PMDaddy's Girl,
I like your comment about developing a girl's (boys too) sense of self worth. It is right on target.
In Iraq they have an escalation of force policy. First, they give hand signals. Second, they shoot a flare diagonally across the path of the vehicle. Third, they try to place a .50 cal round in the engine block. If all else fails they light them up. I am not saying this is the exact procedure or was always used, but you get the ideal.
So, even if the boyfriend was beating the daughter, does the father have to shoot him in the balls? What about a warning shot? If he does not desist, you could shoot him then. We don't expect or want police to go full auto. We expect them to use mace or something else first. We expect spike strips before calling "Blue Thunder". Personally, in a few cases I think Blue Thunder scenario would be appropriate. It would cause some perps to rethink. I mean are you going to out run a copter?
This boyfriend could have beaten her & may eventually appear on these pages again. If you video cam it, then it is a slam dunk that he gets arrested, prosecuted and convicted. Then the second time he goes away for a long stretch and is listed as a woman beater. Of course I would not film ad naseum.. At some point call 911 & shoot him yourself.
Posted 02/25/2010 at 01:14:15 PMSmitty,
Posted 02/25/2010 at 02:50:20 PMI'm going to take a shot in the dark here and say you're a Marine. Seems anyone with the name "Smith" is always nicknamed "Smitty", also you know OUR escalation of force. Semper Fi Brother.

I don't see a crime here. Man abuses girlfriend; man gets shot in the balls by girlfriend's father. Case closed.
I am suprised he hit the testes, if a man beats a woman, he usually doesn't have the balls of a guppy.
Posted 02/26/2010 at 11:48:52 AMwho knows if this guy actually "beat" her up. either way the dude is 29yrs old!!! i know if my daughter is 19 and she starts talkin to a 29yrs old im going to intervene and straight up tell the guy "hell no! you need to find someone your own age" and if that didint work then yeah i would have no problem shootin him in the nutts and dealing with the consequences.
@Ryan, smitty cant be a marine, we dont call them choppers we call them helo's
Posted 02/26/2010 at 11:52:04 AMI'm pretty sure that Florida is a Castle Doctrine state. I don't know if the BF could be shot for putting his feet on the end table but it sounds like he could be for putting his hands on the daughter.
I'm suprised no one has mentioned a shotgun wedding yet...
Posted 02/26/2010 at 01:08:37 PMHave to agree with Bubba on this one...
CASE CLOSED!
I, myself, would have finished the job once and for all.
Posted 02/28/2010 at 02:30:28 PMNow that's what i call a nut shot! Buz-zing!
Posted 03/03/2010 at 10:56:14 AMSmitty seems to be familiar with the escalation of force policy. But he said they and never refers to himself as serving in the military or being a part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I could be wrong.
The escalation of force that we used in Iraq is much the same as we are using here in Afghanistan. It goes something like this.
SHOUT!!!!! STOP or something to that effect. An expletive may be used after we notice the vehicle barreling towards us. Most of the time after making said observation it is WTF? then STOP!!!!!
SHOW - Visual display of what you intend the offender to do usually showing them your weapon and chambering a round will stop an innocent person in their tracks.
SHOOTING A WARNING SHOT - Not always used. My ammo is valuable to me. Shooting a warning shot into the vehicles engine is much more effective. We all carry M16 rifles, M4 carbines, or M9 pistols. If you are carrying a 50 cal you are one bad ass mo fo.
SHOOT TO KILL - Sorry i'm not giving any dirt bag terrorist a chance to get out of his vehicle with an RPG, AK47 or anything that can do me or my soldiers harm much less detonate the possible IED that he is carrying in that Vehicle.
When a dirt-bag 29 year old preys on an 18 year old girl there is a problem. There are probably going to be many issues that arise from that relationship. Abuse being one of those probable issues. Young females often have attachment issues and when they are in love or more often than not when they think they are in love those issues are worse. The reaction of the daughter seems quite normal. The abuser did not seem to be and unless it was close range most likely wouldn't be seriously injured. Then again I could be wrong. Perception is a MFer.
If anyone and I mean ANYONE harmed my daughter (4 years old right now) my escalation of force would go from observation to SHOOT TO KILL in about .01 seconds. I see you harm my daughter be prepared to eat a 45 caliber snack and take a dirt nap. There are far to many scumbags out there these days.
My Two Best Friends are Smith and Wesson and they go everywhere I go. They come with a 45ACP Federal Hydro-shock Punch placed center mass to the chest.
Don't you know if you are from the south and carry a gun you are officially a HICK. A term of endearment that holywood stuck us with. Then again it takes a HICK to know a HICK. Much like all NASCAR fans are Rednecks (Go Rocketman Ryan Newman) driver of the US Army #39 car. Hick can also be defined as Gun toting, freedom loving, father who won't stand for a 29 year old man beating up on his daughter.
I proof read my post but I may have missed something. I apologize for my ignorant mistakes in advance. I even used the spellchecker included with the firefox browser.
Posted 03/04/2010 at 04:20:43 PMDude! You don't shoot people in the dick! It's... it's... it's just weak! LOL!! (South Park fans will get it)
Posted 03/20/2010 at 02:29:12 AMHey Maureen, it's Medal, not Metal....something that you've obviously never earned.
Posted 03/25/2010 at 02:52:28 PMI agree that, in a civilized society, we ask questions first and shoot later(that's for David). While no 29 year old has any business dating an 18 year old, we do not shoot people in the balls for that.
If the daughter truly was being assaulted, I can understand the father opening fire. I don't believe she was necessarily being assaulted though. Maybe she was, maybe she wasn't. What I do know is that only a complete frickin' idiot would assault her daughter in front of her dad. Abusers are notorious pussies. Wouldn't he slap her around later, in private? Also, there is the simple fact that I would, as her father, really want to shoot him just because of the age difference. If I couldn't resist the temptation, I'd blame it on the pervy boyfriend too. And I'd probably feel justified.
Posted 06/07/2010 at 03:12:27 PMWhat I do know is that only a complete frickin' idiot would assault her daughter in front of her dad.
-Change "her" to "someone's" and it makes more sense.
Posted 06/07/2010 at 03:17:06 PMNot a criminal whatsoever, daddy must protect his girl obviously. The abusive boyfriend must serve his sentence with a missing sack.
