It's amazing that you can justifiably kill a person while they're in the mids of a sexual assault but not during a double homicide? |

This actually happened in the 80's in Houston... different circumstances though... 11 year old boy was kidnapped and taken to NOLA... sexually abused etc... found the guy and the boy returned the boy home to parents where dad found out what the guy did to said boy and dad waited at airport for said kidnapper being escorted by officers and shot him in the head on live TV as news cameras rolled. He got convicted of first degree murder and a suspended sentence 5 years probation... Hopefully this is what he gets.
Texas is the greatest state in the Union... |

Out of curiosity, what would you guys think of the father revenge killing over his sons if the other driver was not drunk and it was just a freak accident? I assume the father would still be emotionally distraught after the incident, but I am curious if he would still kill the other driver over it due to a temporary bout of grief stricken insanity.

honestly i dont know how I would live my life knowing the person who killed a family member I loved, was still walking this earth happy and free. I'd probably do the same thing. HOWEVER if the driver was not drunk.... I dont know what id do.

Tragic story. A similar event happened a few months ago here and as far as I know the guy is still awaiting trial. He was sober and reportedly "not paying attention", and sober. Killed 2 kids also, and probably will not serve much time. How has the court system failed so poorly? Talk about a need for reform...
Sorry to hear of this tremendous loss, and the father gets a in my book. |

Prosecutor should be ashamed of him/herself. In Texas of all places.

i think everyone fully understands that what the father did was far from justifiable. we are not talking about "justified actions" - i am simply asking around if people agreed or disagreed what the father did based on pure passion alone. so yeah, he wasn't justified for any reason whatsoever, but it looks like more than 75% of people/fathers would have done the same in that sitaution..... |

I agree. The prosecutor should have given him a small cash reward, and perhaps a civil commendation. He/she should be ashamed.

didnt read most of the responses but imho the drunk driver got off light with a gunshot wound to the head. he definitely should have died before eating another meal but he should have been left to bleed out and understand the consequences of his actions.
father should walk a free man and if he sends any time in jail he should be treated like a king. two young boys like that are irreplaceable, not just for the family but for the whole community.

ok, so fast forward a whole year and a half.....
trial starts today on the father who shot and killed a drunk driver who had just fatally killed his two sons by smashing his vehicle into them.... http://www.click2houston.com/news/tr...-sons/27609248 reminder as to what happened below Quote:
I've been waiting on this for a while, seeing as my older brother and I grew up and know many of the Barajas family... like I mentioned in the very first post, the Barajas family tree is impressive to the say the least.... Grandma and Grandpa had 14 children and each of those children had 2 or 3 kids minimum, so myself and my other two brothers have grown up knowing the Barajas children, just as many people have in this small town... even my parents know the uncles and aunts of the Barajas family... |

However, what if it was some freak mechanical failure, and not the driver's fault at all (ie: he wasnt drunk, nor texting, nor getting head, etc etc). What if, after the investigation, they found the driver had nothing in his system? What if it turned out to be suspension or brake failure, some $2 bolt fails, car doesnt respond to driver inputs, and in a heartbeat you are off the road and plowing down people on the side. That could happen to any one of us here. Tough call, the fathers emotional reactions in the moment after seeing his kids would be understandable, but that would just make a bad situation worse if the driver turned out to be innocent. Maybe the driver was very obviously drunk, reeked of booze, so the father had no doubt what happened, and didn't need to wait for a blood test, but that certainly isnt clear from any of the news postings. On the contrary, it says "everything went black after that for Mr. Barajas", so I'd bet the father was so consumed with rage he didnt spend a single second to determine if the driver was drunk, or sober. I dunno, just not sure we should always condone the "shoot first ask questions later" approach. IF it turns out the driver is drunk, then I got no problem hearing that the driver "went missing" after that, never to be heard from again.
