[QUOTE]A father has been charged with murder on Friday after allegedly shooting a drunk driver moments after he plowed into his truck killing his two young sons.
David Barajas, 31, and his sons, 12-year-old David Jr. and 11-year-old Caleb, were about 50 yards from their Houston-area home when a car crashed into them on a dark rural road.
David Jr. died at the scene, while Caleb died later at a hospital.
Neighbors said they heard gunshots minutes after the Dec. 7 crash near Alvin, about 30 miles southeast of Houston.
Jose Banda, the 20-year-old driver who hit the boys, was later found shot in the head. His death was ruled a homicide.
Investigators believe Banda had been drinking before the crash, and they're awaiting the results of blood tests on him.
At a funeral service for the two boys, family and friends spoke of the brothers' love of sports and their family.
Their uncle, Gabriel Barajas, said David and Caleb were

Re: Man Murders A Drunk Driver After Car Crash
I would have done the same thing probably. Drunk or not if the dumb fu** was at fault and wrecked into me killing my two sons... I'd unload on his ass if I had a gun.

Re: Man Murders A Drunk Driver After Car Crash
[QUOTE=DMV2]Even if the father was convicted for the shooting, they could only get him for manslaughter, right?
It would be under heat of the moment/crime of passion/not premeditated, something of that nature.[/QUOTE]
I hope they don't convict him of anything. The dumb fu** who slammed into their car had what was coming to him.

Re: Man Murders A Drunk Driver After Car Crash
He'll get off on temporary insanity.

Still shoot him....Just so he won't do it again.

It was confirmed he was drunk... It's highly unlikely the result was caused by anything else dude.

Re: Man Murders A Drunk Driver After Car Crash
[QUOTE=DMV2]Same here. The dead drunk driver would have gotten vehicular manslaughter himself if he was alive. Too me, the two manslaughters would cancel each other out.
An eye for an eye.[/QUOTE]
:oldlol: seriously though. I'm very forgiving in general but for extreme things like this I'm a very vindictive prick. If somebody wrongs me I can forgive but this kind of shit is unforgivable and I'm not about to leave it up to a flawed justice system that may just let him off with a few months in jail and suspend his drivers license.

Re: Man Murders A Drunk Driver After Car Crash
no one ever feels bad for the driver...who wasn't out looking to kill anyone...and just made a careless mistake, something that I bet most here over the age of 25 have done at some point
it's very very tragic but the driver didn't deserve to be executed like that...

It's not about "deserve". Ask yourself what you'd do if you saw your two little boys killed by a reckless driver and happened to have a gun on you?

I can't even answer that because it is impossible to know...
I do know I would be completely devastated with or without killing the driver...
but maybe best case scenario I let him live and hope that one day I learn to forgive him...worst case scenario I kill him and take his place in prison...

[QUOTE=ace23]Lol @ "careless mistake".[/QUOTE]
yeah, that is what drunk driving is...a careless mistake
just like texting while driving...which is getting death numbers on similar levels

There is a reason do not drink and drive is preached so much by law enforcement and schools. NO excuse AT ALL to ever do it.

Can't say I blame him, unfortunately it only made him and his families life significantly worse.

you can **** off with all that nonsense.
Its obvious you dont have children of your own, and cannot fathom seeing them being murdered due to some assholes irresponsibility.
Being a new parent I would have done the same thing. Even though the poor sob didnt mean to kill he still rolled the dice on taking the wheel after being drunk. Which I think his punishment was justified.

Re: Man Murders A Drunk Driver After Car Crash
I am a parent...and it's not nonsense...driver doesn't deserve to be executed
law agrees

in this situation the law is...so you are saying the correct thing to do is blw the driver's head off?...yeah that's smart
driver might have been some college kid...made a horrible mistake, like all kids do
how many college kids have driven drunk at some point?
I can't fathom seeing my son's death regardless of the cause...but an execution like that I might only think is worthy is if was like a pedafile kidnap-rape deal...premeditated planned murder

mrpuente would you kill the driver if you saw a cell phone in hand with unsent text message?...sober driver?

he killed two boys, incident or not, he was still responsible... and the parent had the right to do whatever he wanted with him... me personally i would have gone with a slow painful death, and probably killing some of his relatives before i go to jail where i would probably kill myself... so yeah one mistake can ruin many lifes

not saying its the right thing to do, but if I were in the scenario I would have done the same thing. Are you saying you wouldnt?
Who cares if hes a college kid? Are you saying he should be pardoned because of a potential future? What about the two young sons that didnt even get a chance at a life? yeah thats smart...
Knowing how many people die from drunk driving it could be argued that driving while intoxicated resulting in death is premeditated.

Re: Man Murders A Drunk Driver After Car Crash
People actually agreeing with what the father did? Now the family will have lost 2 children and the father, this is not even a case of protection, dude just took his revenge right there. He is a menace to society and should be locked up.

Re: Man Murders A Drunk Driver After Car Crash
[QUOTE=Rockets(T-mac)]How is this worse than drinking and driving?[/QUOTE]
because you are alert and sober and of sound mind while doing it...
drunk people are literally retarded/insane...a lot of the time they are too drunk to know better, or they are much more drunk they they think they are...it a case of [I]"I'm barely buzzed don't worry"[/I]...or [I]"I caaaaan't even talk, who am I?...what is this vehicle thing?...time to drive"[/I]
I'm not trying to justify it, just saying if you are wondering "why did they think it is okay to drive while drunk?"...it is because THEY WERE DRUNK!

A little more rare than a drunk driving incident, but ill entertain.
Yes, depending on how it happened and possible state of mind during the incident. Absolutely.

if it was college kid or drunk teen...I'm not killing them
it would make me feel worse
I'l let the law deal with them...most of the time when this happens the driver's life is ruined anyway

it's not as rare at all...an enormous amount of auto accidents involve a cell phone these days
it sounds like you will just murder anyone regardless of how or why they crashed the car...that's not the answer

Thats not good. However drunk driving deaths accumulate to that number in 1 year alone. Thus making texting while driving deaths incredibly more rare.

Re: Man Murders A Drunk Driver After Car Crash
again im not saying its rare!
in comparison to drunk driving deaths? lets be honest it is.
