I don’t consider it an accident. He didn’t intentionally murder my son, but he intentionally pulled the trigger aimed at my son whom he did not see. CPW is responsible by allowing these seasons to overlap and not insisting all hunters wear Orange like we do in Texas. Thank you for your kind sympathy.
while I feel nothing but sympathy for your loss ,I must admit I feel disapointment and even anger for your holding anyone but the shooter responsible for your sons death.
the only responsible party is the shooter . period!
if you hold p&w responsible , then by the very same logic your own son shares the blame also. he knew the laws or risk and went anyhow . if this is not true he is still to be held responsible because ignorance of laws does not relinquish responsibility.
tobe clear .... I do NOT blame your son but by your own logic , you MUST!
it is exactly this type of irrational, emotional response that gets laws passed that punish the innocent and while I sympathize with your loss ,I simply can not condone your response! it is the exact response we get after every "mass shooting" incident that leads to folks calling for tougher gun control laws , that ,in the end do nothing but punish the innocent!
in your grief you wish to punish. understandable . but punishing the innocent will not bring your son back and though I never knew him I doubt it is what he would wish!
my greatest prayer for you beyond the lord easing your suffering is for you to remember that to forgive is divine.
not saying you should or should not forgive . simply to contemplate it is an option. and most likely the one to ease your pain the most. you do not forgive for the sake of the guilty but for the well being of your own soul.
I also pray you will take some time to really think on this before you act.
I hope you take this to heart and are not offended by my view. know that offense is not my intent ! I merely post this in hopes you can see reason through your grief!
I truly am sorry for your loss!!!!! my heart is crushed that you must endure this tragedy.
