The most honourable murder charge you'll ever see an athlete deal with. Free Cain

[MK-kqmi]

Free cain Velasquez !!! I was molested when I was a kid . Cain is my hero!!!

[sushichef]

The judge is the biggest criminal! Who in their right mind puts a suspected child molester on house arrest when he lives at a day care? I would have done the same thing Cain did but with a sniper rifle. How can you leave it to the justice system when they won't protect a 4 year old child from getting molested over 100 times. Justice would be to hold the judge accountable and give him 20 - life. F the California justice system! THIS IS TYRANNY AT IT WORSE! This is 100% why we are allowed to bare arms! To protect our families especially our children!

Let him go! He was doing what the system failed to do.

I’d say jury nullification if the “person” shot was the child moolester. Government failed to keep the public safe, as usual, by letting out a child molester.

When I first heard he had been charged with a shooting I knew there had to be more to it. The man always seemed to be a stand up individual. Just too bad he didn’t succeed and get away with it.

[gopinathvs]

The man is a father and his child was abused by a man who is walking free in front him. The mental state of a man going through at times like that is only anger and rage. He just a human after all. He probably doesn't know how to use a gun and he shoot someone else. Before trashing him think what you would have done in the same circumstance. As a fan him for decades now I'm not proud or saying what he did is right. He let his emotions take over him. It definitely a bad decision for his side which is causing pain to his family and friends. But we can't bleam him for his action.

Stand fast, you have a fucking army behind you. Prayers to you and your family.

[wolfwoof]

I wish Cain the best I know he has a daughter and wife at home

[christiancarranza]

He only did what any good dad would do right!! 💯

[bloodsweatandbeers]

Caine is a amazing human being. Had a great UFC career. Many people will be sad for him. This couldn't happen to a better guy.

[Godlessgaming]

cain need to be released now and giving a medal! that guy should not have been out of jail!

[jayyy]

Why do they keep saying “a family member” …….it was his daughter

[feeshtacos]

What else are you supposed to do when the system fails you and releases a sicko back out on the streets ?!?!

[randombudd]

Wtf, if my sister or daugther is molested, hell will break loose

[dulcesanchez]

muchas bendiciones para la vida de Caín Velázquez nuestro gran campeón Mexicano🇲🇽que Dios te acompañe 🥺🙏🙏🙏

[Zerobytexai]

I feel bad for the prisoners that unsuspectingly pick a fight with Cain only to get ragdolled like a piece of paper.

[np]

yo the people need to throw Molotov cocktails at that daycare house

[CoastfishTV]

The perpetrator got less than he deserved. Free Cain

[Basthesem]

You can’t blame a father for doing what fathers do
