Yes he should. Just because the drivers were drunk doesn't make them evil.lo_Pine

This sounds like a sequel to A Time to Kill.  I can understand the man's rage, but he still committed murder.  He should be punished for it regardless of what John Grisham's novel says.

100% correct.  The only thing worse than the sons dying, is the murder of the driver.  

One was accidental, the other intentional; I think the latter should be punished severely.

If you intentionally kill someone for any reason other than defense then that is murder.

it is texas.

they will get him off on temporary insanity give him a slap on the wrist and let him go.

and i don't have a problem with that.

Evidence showed one shot was fired, ...

The father should be punished ... for firing only one shot instead of emptying the magazine.

it is texas.

his last name is hispanic, and he is in texas.  He will go to prison

He killed someone, he should be charged with murder. Laws wouldn't mean much if we frequently said, "well I guess I understand why he did it so this time it's ok".

I got arrested a few months ago for stealing from the place I worked at. They treat their employees poorly, lied on our evaluations for years, screwed up our schedules, didn't give me the vacation time I was supposed to have three years in a row and wouldn't fix it, because of that and more I don't feel bad about stealing from them but at no point was I dumb enough to think a judge would let me off if I told him that it's ok because they were all ******* and deserved it anyway.

You can't give people special treatment because they had or thought they had reason to break a law, it would cause a hell of a lot of problems.

If you intentionally kill someone for any reason other than defense then that is murder.

I am fine with thisdave123321

Not that I condone his actions, but I probably would have done the same. If some drunk killed my children right in front of me, regardless of intent, I don't think I'd be able to control myself; I don't think many people could.

Anyways, Who wants to bet that he gets off by pleading temporary insanity?

I guess its not murderous intent when I stand in my backyard with a semi automatic gun, spin around shooting at all my neighbors houses. "civilized people" lmao. Id like to see you liberal idealists sit back and hold your rage, letting the idiot go through the court system when he killed your own children. then again maybe you are lacking testosterone and would feel that he made an honest mistake and should be let go. lmfao. pathetic.mingmao3046

So basically we're all just a bunch of pvssies for not supporting this guy murdering another human being?  Fvck you're pathetic. 

While I'm sure that it would be almost unbearable to lose your sons to a drunk driver, we dont live in a country where vigilante justice is acceptable.  The courts, not this person, should determine the fate of the drunk driver.

Will probably have some type of temporary insanity defense that'll get him a reduced sentence.

Can't say I wouldn't have wanted to kill the man.

Maybe if he would have used his fists.

[QUOTE="HoolaHoopMan"][QUOTE="mingmao3046"] I just don't understand how you could sit back and let the man who killed your children go through the court system and possibly get a light punishment when he deserves to die. mingmao3046

Generally people in civilized society (or perhaps.. people with low testosterone) make efforts to resist many of our emotional urges, especially when those urges involve killing someone and going to jail.
