I know a guy who lost his 6 year old son and his two other kids were seriously hurt in a traffic accident back in 2006. A 19 y/o street racer crashed into them while they sat at a traffic light. Kid bragged about how it was "no big thing" on his social media page for a few years before he finally got sentenced to jail. To this day, i have no idea how my friend kept it together or still does. If he would have taken that kid out, i would have applauded. This country could use a little more "old school" justice in certain situations.

I can't say that I really know what I would have done. In all probability I would have beaten the guy to death with my bare hands.

I wonder how long after seeing your kids getting ran over by a drunk until you are cosidered in your right mind? I'm pretty sure for me it would be longer then would I would walk a 1/2 mile in.

Oh, and drunk drivers are some of the worst scumbags there are. Especially when they go out and know they plan on drinking a lot. |

I wouldn't think a man under those circumstances would be expected to be in his right mind. Temporary insanity should be a very sound defense.
Put yourself in his place for a minute. You're pushing a truck within sight of your home. Some drunken asshole smashes the bodies of your sons between his car and the bumper of your truck. Injuries are grotesque. Your sons are dying, your wife and living children are screaming.....and the asshole who is responsible is 8' away from you. I'd wager more than 1 normally sane person could snap. He should get manslaughter and minimal time in the pen. |

Hooray for shooting a guy to death in front of his wife and young children.
You run out of gas on an unlit county road in the middle of the night and decide to have your young children help push the truck home? WTF? Go home and come back in the morning with a can of gas, you ****ing stooge. Even a sober driver would have been a serious threat to everyone's safety. That isn't to excuse the drunk driver, but you don't get to go around shooting people to death in front of their families after you both did something incredibly negligent. This is Trayvon vs Zimmerman all over again.

I don't mean to sound sarcastic but, you haven't heard of the epidemic that is teen pregnancy in this country?

Two things I'm interested to see here:
1) Does the father's hand test positive for gunshot residue? 2) Is the gun ever found? If the answer to both of those is "no," it's hard to imagine there being enough evidence to convict him. Also, I wonder how the 911 call was placed. Was it by cell? Or from the house? That would be a possible explanation for the dad running to the house like he did.

It seems like he did it back to back. Ie dumped a wad when he was 17, and again within months of having the first. Sounds like a dumbass to begin with. Once is an accident, but two is a trend.

I have faith in a jury to handle this properly.

Good point. Oh wait, no it isn't. It has nothing to do with the story.

Well one thing the mom and other kids were too stunned to notice the dad do anything. Plus no real good eyewitness. He will be free. Also i hate people that drive while their drunk you give people who drink a bad name.
