re: 30 years ago yesterday - Gary Plauche kills Doucet

And Doucet?

Innocent until proven guilty, right?

Guess not. Although they had a confession from Doucet, he was still awaiting trial. He had been convicted of nothing.

That's what I mean by "taking the law into his own hands."

I understand the father's feelings, but that was a bad precedent to set.

I wouldn't want to be Gary Plauche, knowing that I killed a person. I know quite a few people who are friends with the Plauche family in BR. Quite a few of Gary's friends say that he is a tormented soul. Also, Plauche was tipped off by the police when Doucet would arrive in BR. It never was made public when Doucet would arrive in BR. Isn't it ironic how Plauche happens to be at the airport when Doucet arrives and happens to be in the same area where the cops are leading Doucet to the police cars located outside of the airport? Plauche had the friends in high places to get him off without paying the consequences. If it would have been one of us that committed the same crime, you can bet your butts that we would have to serve some time in jail. Some friends of Plauche have even told the press that Doucet was involved with Plauche's wife and the two of them, with her son, were supposedto run away to California. There were many stories about the background of all the players in this scenario (sp). Only the Good Lord knows the truth of what actually happened. If I was in Plauche's shoes, I would actually consider doing what he did, but I can't imagine me living the rest of my life, knowing that I took another person's life. I would probably be an alcoholic or would suppress what I did by taking meds. No matter what any of us think, I find crap like this to be a lose, lose situation. Nobody comes out a winner.

Yeah, was definitely a top secret movement. News crews pretty much sit in the airport just waiting for that next big story.

And will no doubt tell us all about it... again.

wow, idiot.

It was close enough to be live. Something a lot of people don't know was that Mr. Gary was talking to someone on the pay phone and I was sitting next to him. He shot him and as I remember it around 2-3 minutes later it was on the news.

That^

That was a damn good shot. He only had 1 chance and had to make it count, plus he had to be ready to make his move cause it was only like a 6 second window.

I would have done the same thing.

Ok well I watched it when it first was shown about thirty minutes after. Guess I should have clarified that from thirty fricking years ago. Sorry my mind was off. I remember my steak was a bit past medium rare and I was disappointed.

It was a Friday night during lent, surely you were not eating steak?
