Man Murders A Drunk Driver After Car Crash

[BRabbiT]

[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

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.

[Clippersfan86]

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.

I hope they don't convict him of anything. The dumb fu** who slammed into their car had what was coming to him.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Lol @ "careless mistake".

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...

Lol @ "careless mistake".

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.
