    They had a bad hailstorm in Midland.  Dented up my brothers new truck, busted windows and skylights.  

    You brother’s truck has skylights? Is it an import?

    Flaring is a huge problem. No one is willing to pay for the infrastructure to capture it. But laws should be passed to stop it. 

    I flare often after eating Freebirds. The only recapture that happens is when I flare in bed and hold the cover down tight. Sorry Texas climate.

    Let’s not forget that two other people died in that accident, and for that Reginald  Stephey got 7 years in prison. Ridiculous. 

    Some judge and /or prosecutors left “Justice” out of the “Justice System”.

    As a father, if I see some guy throw any 5 year old off a balcony...

    Then what? You get arrested and charged with battery and possibly murder? 10’s of thousands of dollars to a defense attorney later and your ass possibly in jail so your family doesn’t have you at home for 10 plus years.

    You have a right to use force to make a perp stop and detain for police. You don’t have the right to kill him especially after the crime has been committed.

    I guess it’s okay to vent on a message board and I hope this is mostly just bravado.

    As someone who has a three year old and is on a later in life spiritual journey, it's difficult to mentally wrap ones mind around an all powerful loving God. It's similar to thinking about a helpless child being left in their car seat on a blistering hot day.

     

    This is almost makes me want to welcome our facial recognition overlords.

    That is a question that will most likely  never get a good discussion on this board. I’d suggest you google that up if you are serious about you’re statement.

    Was this guy some kin to you? Because that’s a shitty piss poor comparison. Had you said that someone intentionally went the wrong way on the interstate and rammed your family’s car, then yeah kill the fucker.

    The comparison is to outcome and seeking vigilante justice. Where did this discussion pivot to motive? And you’re depending on news reports to determine facts of this case? The news is highly unreliable.

    I’ll agree that my analogy ends up being manslaughter vs homicide but that wasn’t the original part of the discussion. The discussion was about the mob mentality and instantaneous justice and however imperfect our criminal justice system is it still beats witnessing a crime and distributing your own justice on the spot.

    And so if the facts are as reported then yes, this guy should go away forever.  If his actions were purposeful result in the death of another person and he is not insane then he should face the death penalty. 

     I don’t have any amicable feelings towards this guy. He appears to be a blight on society. However, I find it disturbing that the mob mentality is to drag a guy out to the parking lot and shoot him in the head.

    In what way is driving like an asshole equivalent to throwing a 5 year old over a 3 story ledge?

    What if the outcome is the same? The audacity of the crime doesn’t make the results different. Both are purposeful acts. Do you really want to put more relative morality into our justice system? There’s a reason Justitia wears a blindfold. Yeah, it’s a sick crime and falls way outside human behavioral norms but a critical injured child is an injured child no matter the mechanism. Do we punish people based on how much the crime creeps us out or causes outrage?

  8. If this guy has the mental capacity to know what he was doing then yes, he should go away for a long time, maybe forever. If not then a mental institution would be appropriate and likely ling term. If the kid dies, then yes, he should face the death penalty. But y’all have no real insight into the perp’s mental capacity. 

    Let’s say you drive like an asshole and cut my family off and they wreck causing injuries. Does someone have the right to instantly be judge and jury and put a “bullet in the back of your skull.” Because I sure would want to, but this crazy concept of the legal system prevents you internet keyboard warriors and me from legally and morally distributing instant justice.
