Father indicted:-Moments after his 2 sons were killed by the driver, the drunk was fatally shot

292. a) both his kids were not dead

One of the kids died later at the hospital, and though one of them died at the scene we have no idea how long it took that child to die... he very well could have still been alive while dad was walking home to get his gun.

b) He didn't run home to get his gun, he walked. He was seen walking back to his house by a neighbor who also saw him walk from his house back to the accident scene and go up to the vehicle that struck the kids immediately after which the neighbor heard gun fire.

He had plenty of time on that walk of 150 yards each way to his home and back to consider what he was doing. I also find it monstrous that instead of trying to get help for his children who lay bleeding and battered in the road while at least one of them was still alive that his first reaction was to walk home, get his gun, walk back and shoot the driver of the vehicle that struck the kids thereby ABANDONING his dying children in the road. What reasonable person does that??? I can't imagine any other reaction by a parent who has just seen their kids severely struck by a car thinking anything other than incredible grief, trying to get immediate medical attention for them and cradling them in their arms begging them not to die and screaming for help.

I'm completely astounded that anyone here thinks that ABANDONING your dying children in the road and WALKING the equivalent of two city blocks home to get your gun, walking back and shooting the driver of the vehicle that struck them was the least bit reasonable especially when it was HE himself that put his children in such a dangerous position at the impact point at the back of his disabled truck that he left in the middle of the road having no one to watch for any oncoming traffic and having no idea that the driver that struck his kids was drunk at all and simply didn't see his disabled vehicle in the middle of the road in time to avoid it. Had he done the prudent thing and pushed the truck to the side of the road while one of the people in the family watched for oncoming traffic and then walked home to call friends or neighbors to come and help push his truck home while someone watched for oncoming traffic to warn of an obstacle in the road no other driver drunk or otherwise would have had the opportunity to hit his kids. Incidentally, the mother and an younger child as well as a baby were sitting in the truck all this time. Why couldn't the mother watched for oncoming traffic if not to warn another driver but to warn her older children that were in such a dangerous position at the back of the truck pushing it?

This was just pure vigilante justice, and this father is exactly the wrong type of person who should own a gun. Anyone whose immediate reaction to their kids being struck by a car when they themselves put those kids in such a dangerous position for being struck in the first place is to abandon their dying children in the middle of the road and go home and get their gun and walk back and kill the unconscious driver of the vehicle that struck them is not a reasonable mentality nor is it a humane one.
