(6,234 posts)The guy watched his children turned into steaming chunks of humburger, he went and got his gun, and he blew the fucker that did it away. I cannot help feeling for the guy. Quick story:
One day, years ago, my daughter -- who was about seven I think -- was getting ready for her first day at a new school. She spent hours getting ready and putting on her prettiest dress. We were poor then (and now) and this was really the only super nice new dress she owned. She finished then she went outside to wait by the car for me to give her a ride. I can still picture this as clear as if it just happened.
It had been snowing hard all night and the street was a slushy mess, so she was standing on the sidewalk. I walked outside and just as I started towards her I saw some jackass kid in a pickup truck roaring down the street. He saw her standing there, and he deliberately swerved over into a puddle and doused my baby from head to toe in icy road grime and slush. I saw him laughing as he did it. I can still see my daughter, wearing the only nice dress I could buy her, standing there crying because everything was ruined.
My wife came out then I guess, and took her inside. I got in my car and tried to find this kid. I hunted for him for a half hour or more, but I never found him. If I had found him, I was going to kill that fuck. Not a theory, not I was really mad, I was going to beat that piece of shit to death. Slowly.
I am well aware what that says about me as a person, and I would love to say that I am better now, but if someone killed my daughter in front of me I cannot even imagine not killing him on the spot. Again, I am aware that this makes me a bad person in most people's eyes, but I cannot condemn a man who just watched his children obliterated.
