Justice served?

I came across an article that has gotten me thinking: Shortly after two teenagers were hit and killed by a drunk driver in front of their home, the dad gets a gun and kills the driver.

The dad is now facing murder charges. It’s a tough thing to think of. What would you do? I have mixed feelings about it. I’ve tried putting myself in that man’s shoes…

Some commented that it’s proof that guns should be banned. If the dad didn’t have a gun, the man would have been killed. Well, I can’t agree with that. If he was mad enough to go get a gun, he would have been mad enough to rush up and kill him with his bare hands if no other weapon was available.

If a drunk came by, even walking, and killed my son with ‘anything’… by golly, he’d sure be looking for a fight. To me, a car, a gun, a big walking stick… doesn’t really matter. If someone killed your kid in front of you, would you let him live?

As for the drunk, he had no excuse. He was driving illegally. He had no right to be on the road. He was intoxicated by his own choice. When you do something wrong (or stupid), there is usually consequences.

What would you do?
