    "They did not find any solution other than hitting him with a plank...."

    Since plank was the lethal weapon that took the life of this "drunk", both liquor and all planks should be banned.

    We should also at the same time ban Sons and Sons in Law. If the son & son in law were not there there would have been no crime.

    Alcohol is a deadly liquid which breaks families and creates havoc, I feel lets ban this deadly substance so that we all can live in peace forever!

    I don't think that banning alcohol will be a good idea. Alcohol education would be a much better alternative.
