Do you feel that Gary killing his son's kidnapper-and-rapist was the right thing to do?


Back in 1984, Gary Plauch's 10-year-old son Jody was kidnapped by his karate instructor, who also molested Jody both before and during the kidnapping. Jody's parents were eventually able to rescue him and the karate instructor was taken into custody.

Later, as the instructor was being taken away, Gary hid himself near a phone booth and as the instructor and his escort walked past, Gary shot the instructor point-blank in the head, killing him (there's clear video of this killing, but I can't link it here for obvious reasons). He escaped prison time in lieu of fines and community service, due to the nature of the crime and the judge feeling that he was not a threat to his community.

Obviously, there are two camps to this story:
  • One is completely understandable of his actions as a father, and are glad that he put down a child rapist who more than likely also assaulted other children before Jody.
  • The other feels that he went too far with killing a man who was already in custody and would have been sent to prison. His son Jody is also in this camp.
Where do you stand, CE?

Cant just execute people unilaterally you dont like, even if you have a damn good reason. Thats anarchy.

And if he were really thinking clearly he would realize its more important to be there for his son by not being in jail for killing someone in a revenge that wont undo what happened. Emotions can be a blessing and a curse so I dont envy him.

It's not the right thing, but it's completely understandable why he did it. Though I don't know if he should have completely escaped jail time. You want to feel sympathy, but you also don't want to create a place where people feel OK committing vigilante murder. That's especially true in less clear cut cases.

Its the wrong thing to do. Wait for the court decision, then blow his head off.

Just because someone doesnt advocate vigilante murder or torture for pedos doesnt mean they are a pedo defender

Courts for when we dont know if someone did something. If we know then its a different story.

all child rapists deserve to be executed, period. the fact that the victim's father did it was simply justice and good karma.
