Have you heard of this? 8 dead family members.

It was national news for awhile with everyone assuming cartel involvement. The story died out when people realized that the Rhodens were criminals themselves. I have a lot of family in that area with a very similar surname- when I first saw the headlines I had bit of an "oh shi*" moment

So you're cool with 8 freaking pre-planned murders? Were all 8 scummy criminals? Selling weed or not this was a case of cold-blooded executions. Sorry (not), but they all need to die depending on the depth of their involvement. Life in prison at the least for any not executed.

How could I forget. Just reading the thread title I knew what you were talking about.

No but it's an important reminder that if you get in bed with some people, they will wack out your entire family for minor or even imagined infractions. If you get caught and think you are gonna drop a dime on anything even remotely organized, it will go bad for you and everything you care about.

That is the nature of enforcement in the soulless world of illicit narcotics.

Yes, but this wasn't about illicit narcotics (ironically). It was about a friggin' custody battle. The weed thing is a side-story, it really has no bearing on what took place.

I didn't say anything about my personal feelings on the matter in the post you quoted. Only that people lost interest in the story nationwide when it became clear that the Rhodens weren't exactly upstanding citizens because that's exactly what happened. Don't make assumptions.

People lost interest in it when it went cold for a couple years. Instant gratification and all that. It only resurfaced when arrests were made. From my perspective it had nothing to do with the "dirt" on the Rhodens.

Ironically to me these guy's were growing dope and all that goes along with that, but it turns out top be a custody case?
Who kills 8 people when it comes to a custody case and who did "what all' of this?
Was this a family thing or did one guy pull all the triggers?
