You know, I try to be a good dad, but I’ll never top what this guy did for his kid.

Hopefully.

Happy Father’s Day, Gary.

Gary's whole thing afterwards was "if it was your kid you'd do it too". Also, his ex-wife was completely unaware of the plot, but after finding out stated "I would have offered to drive him (Gary)"

TL;DR the guy up close is pedophile Jeffrey Doucet, the guy in the background is Gary Plauché who's kid was one of Doucet's victims. This photo is like 3 seconds before Gary killed Jeff.

Absolutely love the caption to the photo in the wiki page

Doucet (in the foreground), right before being bravely shot by king Plauché (in the background)

No, iirc the guy near the phones is the father of the kid that the guy in red raped. Spoiler: dad decks the chomo, who is being escorted to trial

If by "decks" you mean "shoots him in the head and kills him" then yeah

I believe the parlance is, if my memory of unreal tournament serves, HEADSHOT!

Yup, you can see his right arm with the gun just coming up in the picture. He shoots him with an under-arm cross-body shot. He got arrested but the judge let him off due to extenuating circumstances.

From Wikipedia:

Plauché was initially charged with second-degree murder, but agreed to a plea bargain in which he pleaded no contest to manslaughter. He was sentenced to a seven-year suspended sentence, with five years' probation and 300 more hours of community service, which he completed in 1989.
