...most likely the shooter was subjected to years of bullying.

...doubtlessly effected his entire life.

...There's two things goin on here though. One is justice and the other is revenge. Killing the guy 50 years later isn't justice. Im sure we have all done things in our past that people have wanted to kill us about. Ya mighta even forgot it, but the folks ya wronged haven't.

...there comes a time in life when ya have to forgive folks and move on. Hate will eat you up as bad as a cancer.

I have to laugh at the daughter's comment that it was just a prank. She wasn't there (and neither was I), but it impacted Carl Ericsson for the rest of his life. It doesn't take a genius to know that whatever happened was bad... far more than "just a prank." Probably not just a single incident, either.

The daughter is blind to that. She sees her father dead and wants to think of him as a victim. I can understand that. But I think she's probably wrong.

For the record, I respect victims who retaliate against their attackers. Way to go, Carl Ericsson. Sorry that the law is going to punish you now.
