Wendy Wednesday: Moral Crossfire – Episode 1: Gary Plauché

What would you do if someone hurt the person you love most?

In our first episode of Wendy Wednesday: Moral Crossfire, we examine the story of Gary Plauché—a father whose split-second decision shocked the nation and continues to divide opinions decades later.

Was it justice? Revenge? Or something that defies simple labels?

Each Wednesday, we explore real-life cases that force us to wrestle with difficult moral and ethical questions where reasonable people can disagree. Our goal isn't to tell you what to think—it's to challenge the way we think.

Join the conversation and let us know: What would you have done?
