I only hope that in the same situation I could act fast enough to do the same for my kids.

Richardson, a church musician, was the father of three, two girls and a boy, all under the age of 10.
| I feel for the family. What a tragic loss. The father is found under definition of hero though.

The part that makes me mad is that the person responsible probably doesn't care about anything other than the fact that he was caught. I hope the guilt eats him alive. He'll likely get a slap on the wrist and get to go do it all again |

This guy deserves it though. What a tragedy for his kids. |

THAT is love. I pray the little girl will be ok. No family should have to endure this type of tragedy, let alone twice.
And the public will not let the idiot walk...one way or another. Vehicular homicide. No question. Lock the bastard up for life.

Jail is too good for the other guy.  He will probably get out in 5 years.

As a father, I would make the same move - assuming I could think that fast in the moment. Giving my life to protect my children is an easy call.
Just as there is a special place in Heaven* for the father, there is a special place in Hell* for the bastard that destroyed that family.
