re: Father (Not Guilty) of killing drunk driver who killed his sons.Update

Yeah I don't think the distracted driver analogy holds water. Driving drunk is a condition you have from the second you get behind the wheel. Not paying attention for a second is a brief bad decision.
Regardless, I don't think the murder is excusable, especially if the statement in the article that the father could not have known he was drunk is true. I don't know what that statement is based on though.
It was dumb to have the kids in that situation and shooting someone sets a dangerous social precedent.

IMO more people side with Plauche because he killed a pedo instead of a drunk driver. People dislike drunk drivers but they have likely driven drunk themselves so they aren't as harsh about how one should be punished. However, not many people like pedos so any time one of them is killed it is a good thing.
This is spot on.

How the hell are we comparing drunk driving/texting while driving/ eating while driving to a freaking pedophile?? The negligent driving is careless and should be punished, put the resulting crashes are accidents that the driver never intended on doing. The pedophile purposely kidnapped that kid and raped him. Far different extremes here

we are comparing the hurting of children and a parent's reaction. from the parental POV, I am not sure how much the method of hurting a child matters when they decide to act out

I do think that the father should face justice for killing this drunk driver if it can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he did indeed kill him. Now having said that, it's my opinion that justice dictates the fact that this father just watched this guy mow down his children must be taken into account as a mitigating factor.

No, you actually said anyone that is intoxicated can't have an accident. That means you think someone at 0.08 exactly is not capable of having an accident. That makes you dumb.
You don't read well.
The wreck from someone intoxicated isn't a freak happenstance....

Talking about Plauche, not the guy in the OP.

Don't have to tell me that. But to some people in this thread, Plauche somehow sets precedent for this guy to kill someone over an accident (that's right LT, it was an accident).

You continually repeating this doesn't make it factual.

I'd like to think if my died from an accident I wouldn't needlessly kill whoever cause the accident.

accident
varies by definition
"an event that happens by chance or that is without apparent or deliberate cause." implies that drinking and driving is NOT an accident due to the deliberate cause
"an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury." implies that drinking and driving is an accident because of lack of intent

I don't agree with that. Drinking and driving is not a deliberate cause of an accident 100% of the time. If it was, you'd wreck every time you drove drunk.

No, he should do life. He is a murderer.
