heres a little more info on that massacre in ohio.




Violent Rhoden Brothers Met a Violent End in Ohio Massacre

Authorities seem to believe the massacre of eight family members was akin to payback. For what, it’s unclear, but two of the dead were not shy about making enemies.

PIKETON, Ohio — When Chris and Frankie Rhoden showed up at a demolition derby rival’s home last May, they were ready to fight. The brothers brought more than a dozen friends with them to confront Tommy Gorman Jr.

Chris, 16, and Frankie, 20, refused to leave even after winning what was apparently a one-sided fight, according to Tommy’s mother, Laura. Not only did the Rhoden boys beat down Laura’s son, but they also knocked out some of the teeth of her husband, Tommy Sr.

“At least he had false teeth. He was able to superglue them back in,” Tommy’s son, Richard, told The Daily Beast.

Frankie was sentenced to less than a year’s probation for the attack, according to his case file at the Pike County Courthouse, about 20 miles from where he and the rest of his family were shot to death last Friday morning. The killer or killers—authorities aren’t sure how many—went on to murder five more Rhodens and Hannah Gilley, Frankie’s fiancée. The three children, presumably too young to identify the perpetrators, were spared.

This is the first I heard they were a family of drug dealers.

Kinda takes the mystery out of it.

Sounds like somebody eventually got tired of enough of their shit to finally do something about it, due to the law not doing anything about it.

Right, and someone(s) with at least some sort of conscience, for sparing the children.

According to GD, marajuana isn't dangerous so this massacre must have been an isolated incident.

They sounded like shitty human beings with a penchant for drugs, cockfighting, and violence. Hopefully the Rhoden legacy disappears like a fart in the wind.


At least the babies weren't hurt.

What is the dangerous part, the substance, or the people who participate in the black market for the substance?

When one drug dealer rips off another, the guy who got ripped off can't just go to the police and say "That asshole stole my shit without paying me, arrest him!", can they?

Those of us who grew up in rural areas can sympathize. I went to a school where over 50% of the kids were related to each other.

I think the other posters are correct in that this was probably payback for some hick drama.

Maybe I've missed it, but have they released any info on the scope/scale of these grow ops?

I would not be surprised at all if the officers found a closet with four plants and called it a grow op.

So Cleetus gives a clone to his sister so they can have their own, everyone has a plant or two growing under some shitty lights in their basement, etc, so the police go nuts and the media eats it up.

Not once during all this, have I heard anybody say "where he worked as a XYZ"

 



These people were probably making lots of cash with the weed, and on welfare to boot.




While the massacre is horrific, I am having a real hard time working up any sense of loss over it.

Assholes often smoke marijuana and drink alcohol. The marijuana isn't any more of a cause for their behavior then the alcohol.

Sounds like this incident is not much of a loss to society. Sucks for any relatives only peripherally involved though. Parents raised a couple of violent dirtbags and apparently did nothing about their behavior. It cost them.

Meh, it does not seem like it was just some plants in the closet.

Investigators and prosecutors previously said three of the four murder scenes contained marijuana grow operations of a commercial scale, at least one of them indoors.


The marijuana grow operations found were not simply a few random plants in a field somewhere, the Columbus Dispatch reported from an interview with Pike County Prosecutor Rob Junk. He told Dispatch reporters at least one was indoors and there appeared to be several hundreds of plants.

Growing pot had jack shit to do with them being general assholes. They also participated in derbies. Are all derby participants criminal thugs?

You have zero evidence for that.

Because pot has about as much to do with violence as eating tofu.
