"Gary Plauche Day" is an informal, annual social media commemoration observed on
March 16, marking the anniversary of the day in 1984 when Gary Plauché shot and killed Jeff Doucet, the man who had kidnapped and sexually abused his 11-year-old son, Jody. The event is recognized for the dramatic, televised nature of the killing at Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport.
Key Aspects of the Incident (March 16, 1984):
The Act: Gary Plauché waited for Jeff Doucet, a karate instructor, as law enforcement escorted him through the airport. Plauché shot Doucet in the head on live television.
The Motivation: Doucet had kidnapped and raped Plauché's son, Jody, and was being returned to Louisiana to face charges.
The Legal Outcome: Plauché was charged but received a seven-year suspended sentence, five years of probation, and 300 hours of community service, serving no prison time.
Public Reception: The case is often cited in discussions on vigilante justice, with many viewing Plauché as a protector, while others criticize the act of taking the law into one's own hands.
Legacy: The event is commemorated online as a form of "father's justice" or "vigilante justice" in defense of a child.
The incident was famously questioned with the phrase "Why, Gary, Why?", which became the title of a book written by Jody Plauché regarding his experience.
