His actions may have been dangerous, reckless, and resulted in the wrong person getting injured, but Cain Velasquez’s attempted killing of accused child molester Harry Goularte has galvanized a lot of support behind him in the MMA community.
Velasquez was arrested on February 28th and charged with attempted first-degree murder, along with a number of other weapons and assault charges, after an 11-mile high-speed car chase—that involved Velasquez ramming and shooting into a vehicle containing Goularte and Goularte’s 63-year-old stepfather. Goularte was apparently uninjured in the attack, however his stepfather suffered a non-lethal gunshot wound. Goularte had been accused of molesting a member of Velasquez’s family as many as 100 times at a daycare facility owned and operated by Goularte’s mother.
