Maybe some day a drunk driver will plow into your child and kill him/her and you could find some compassion for this poor father. Imagine watching your innocent children die right before your eyes? All because some idiot chose to drive drunk and plow into them.
That happened to a cousin of mine around 20 years ago. He died before his Mother did.
A RTA bus driver, did not see him walking, and ran him over. Needless to say every bone in his body was broken. He went into a coma, and never came out.
I honestly do not think my Aunt ever got over that ever. Now deceased, but hard to grasp reality after that fact. Her child was gone, she lived on. But it was hard. And the pain of losing her child before she or her Mother went, was too hard to face.
I have had my share of heartaches believe me.
2 family members who were murdered by scumbags. My cousin who was ran over by an RTA Bus. My inlaws son was driving the freeways in San Diego Calif 15 years ago, when a car hit him head on at high speeds. He died. It is a feeling i cannot describe, because you don't ever forget.
I feel for that Father as a loving parent. Don't know what will come of this case, or how others view it.
When you have a child who dies way before their time, and you outlive them, your life is never the same again. Your heart is filled with such sadness, and sometimes the good memories are not enough to see you thru.
You are nitpicking for the sake of being contrary. I woud bet that if the police determined that he was intoxicated by something other than alcohol in their report, it would have come out by the time that the article was written including the headline. Also, if the father felt that this was not just an unfortunate accident, but someone behaving irresponsibly and recklessly, there had to be something at the time of the incident that alerted him to the condition of the driver that killed his kids. The driver might have been reeking of alcohol...but then again, I am applying logic and common sense to deduce this conclusion.
No, you are making assumptions, which are not supported by evidence.
I am sure that some will argue that because the driver was drunk that it wasn't accidental, but from what is reported in the story, we don't know that Barajas knew that.
What if Banda's car had experienced a brake malfunction? Is Barajas justified in going berserk, walking to his home, retrieving a weapon and killing Banda?
Also, why wasn't he seeking medical attention for his son instead of playing vigilante?
Correction: Another car driven by a drunk ruins multiple lives again ( AND you don't even have to thank me for correcting it for you )
PS If you are guilty of something like this YOU better hope I'm not on that jury.
And the fact that the father had a gun, he made the terrible situation FAR worse. Revenge is not justice.
