Cain apparently shot a guy that molested his daughter? So why did he get arrested? It should be death for anyone that does that

I don’t want to live in a country where you can’t shoot someone who sexually abused your child. #FreeCain

If you aren’t going to free Cain, at least arrest this guy and lock him up in the same jail cell as him. #FreeCain https://t.co/Dj3bvYX15R

I would like to hope if some scumbag molested an innocent 4yr old child the legal system would take into account the rage a father would have. California is pretty loose with actual violent criminals these days. Cain is far from that. #FreeCain

My heart hurts so so badly for one of my idols. Seeing Cain in a jumpsuit at court seriously is making my heart hurt. I don’t want it to be true. I worked with cain so much behind the scenes. He sold me a BMW for cheap. He’s talked mental game with me and so much more. #FreeCain
