In this episode of Waywut, we explore two real-life cases where parents answered that question with a very loud “Hell yes.” From a father who waited at an airport with a gun to a grieving man who orchestrated a full-on kidnapping of his daughter’s alleged killer—this one pulls no punches.

We also dig into:

• The brutal case of Gary Plauché and why a nation secretly cheered
• Kalinka Bamberski’s tragic death and her father’s long, relentless pursuit of justice
• How the legal system sometimes protects monsters
• The blurred line between right and wrong when family is involved
• Food theft, poverty, and whether “stealing to survive” should ever be a crime

It’s emotional, infuriating, and a little bit cathartic. If you’re a parent, this one might hit harder than expected.
