  • First it was pot, now it looks like a cockfighting operation was in the mix too. Dope and chicken fighting, if a whisky still is found on one of the properties it sounds like an all American family to me!

  • If this was the Cartels operating north of the border, we need some pipe hitters put on CIA contract status and rack up a body count in the hundreds. Cut that crap out and get back to your shit hole.

    Let the deer hunters this fall find all the dead Mexicans in the forest.

  • It's a safe bet that most mass killings involve drugs or Muslims, but we seemingly lack the will to do anything about either one.

  • This is more common thank you think, likely suspects? Mexican cartel members, they hate it when their loose business to a local...

    • This has all the markings of a cartel hit. Someone in this family lost major money and or pot. The cartel will not hesitate to kill everyone that is family. What is surprising is that they left the smallest children. This is not something that is normally done.

      • That shows real sophistication. South of the border, all these people would be taco meat. The cartel kills a four day old or even a 3 year old? That gets into to 9/11 type retribution level of anger. Pot growers get whacked, mild disdain.

    • Seems to me that they were cutting into someone's business. That's a dangerous move in that field. Those people weren't growing for personal use.

      • Sounds like someone was scaling up when they thought Ohio was going to legalize it, had all this product and went to take a bite out of the market... and the market maker bit back.
