Single Fathers Child Taken

pick the ending- 1 or 2 and any comments standing at the bus stop chilled to the bone just now realizing he was all alone everything in his life had been destroyed when he lost his little boy. a father who is single trying to make it in this life no family members and no wife. his sons life had been taken by a drunk driver that day when he sped through a red light as he tried to get out of its way. too many memories does he face-that he has to leave this place. so many memories flood his mind as he thinks what could he have done if he had the time. the driver has convicted of drunk driving but not jailed the judicial system to him had failed. his son was dead and his life was shattered nothing in this life ' now mattered'. #1- two years had passed and he would now get revenge the life this driver knew would soon end. he staggered out of the bar and headed to his car when the sledge hammer hit him across his knee then another blow on the other knee, as he started to scream. two more blows on each leg, and on the ground he would stay. stuck in a wheel chair for the rest of his life he's now paid the ultimate price. or #2 he prayed every day for justice for his son this man was still drinking and driving and nothing being done. the question always entering his mind is this judicial system so doggone blind? why wasn't this man taken off of the streets are they waiting for more bodies in a crumpled heap. yet! he always believed ' what goes around comes around' and his justice will be found.
