So, the argument you're making is that the equivalent of loading a gun and firing it in all directions in public on repeated occasions until you kill someone should not be a capital crime, but a "bad parenting decision" should be?

Gotcha.

Now I understand where you're coming from: Cloud Kookooland.

‘You don’t get out much, do you?

Here’s a hint - the same cops that came out to help pick up the bodies of the dead children, are the ones who did the residue testing.

Do the math.’

Was the gratuitous insult necessary?

At the crime scene, a SCI takes samples, bags them, and delivers them to the crime lab. The testing is done there.

I remember that video. That father did taxpayers a great favor that day.

Might be that a real man and responsible father would’ve sent his boys 100 yards ahead to fetch some gas from hom, while remaining with the truck himself to flag down traffic. Yeah, he might have been run down anyway by a drunk, but those are the chances a real man takes, rather than endanger innocent young lives counting on him for protection.

You can be pretty sure every time the mother looks at her husband now she seers the lazy selfish jerk who brought about the deaths of her boys.

and then there are OJ juries.

I paid great attention to that one, because I worked a block and a half from the murder scene.....and remember a TV reporter quizzing a juror who'd gotten dismissed mid-trial; the guy said "DNA don't mean nuffin - lotsa peoples gots the same blood type!"

Right then I knew this wasn't going to be a slam dunk for 'guilty'...

Say, here’s a question for you. Mind if I borrow your darling boys to push a heavy, lights-out truck down a dark and narrow country road? If anything happens to them, you won’t blame me, right?

I can’t even comprehend the level of pain of being a parent that has lost a child. Doesn’t even compute. I have 5 kids and just today got kid number 4 her driver’s license. By far, the hardest thing my husband and I have done as parents is put our kids behind the wheel of a car.

Prayers for you and your Family for your tragic loss.

We lost a Nephew a few Years ago. Same type of circumstance and the Responsible Party has so far avoided Justice being served.

The Kid was a Marine and survived Two Tours in Afghanistan without a scratch.

Regarding the rest of your Post, I'm not sure I would have been able to back away from that precipice. God Bless...

The day I began thinking about revenge was the day we received a letter from a Mexican lawyer on behalf of the guilty kid. The letter claimed that the kid wanted us to buy him a new car because the accident totaled his, and BTW his arm still hurts.

We wrote him back saying sorry but our car was totaled too and BTW our son is still dead.

I am glad I didn’t do what I was thinking, I thank God I didn’t do it.

I can understand how this man could have murdered the guy who killed his boys.

I can accept a spontaneous on-site reaction; accepting a premeditated event after the fact would be harder to do. Understand, yes; accept, harder to do.

I am glad the "peace that passes understanding" has inhabited your heart most of the time. It's not something I would expect you ever to get over completely. People of faith trust that he is in a better place, and that you and he will be reunited. Bless you.

The lazy selfish jerk who brought about the deaths of her was a drunk driver and was killed mysteriously soon after killing the boys. A little more common sense was used in this case as opposed to the way things roll in the East/West coast liberal lawyer states.

In yesterdays Houston Chronicle there was an article about a man whos daughter was murdered in 1984. He had a suspect who lived on his street, he said that 2 years ago he gave the man a Bible and told him he forgave him. Even just before that time he put 5 guns in his car and went hunting for the man to kill him. That was 28 years after the murder and a friend talked him out of it.

The father’s name is Tim Miller and after searching for his daughter for 17 months he started a search organization called Texas Equusearch. He and his volunteers have found countless victims of horrible crimes. He is a fantastic man who has turned his grief into a great blessing but......... he has had to fight the desire to kill the man who he thinks is responsible.

Four months ago the man he thinks killed his daughter, Clyde Hedrick, was found guilty of killing another woman and Miller has started again to try to tie him to his daughters murder.

Here is another thread about this tragic event and I describe another man who faced the same desires.
