I don't think LE intentionally tried to make them look bad. But look at how much crap they were involved in. Grow ops, *advertiser censored* fighting, buying/selling junk, altercations with multiple different people... I think all of that is important information because it gives us an idea of their lifestyle and I think something they were involved in ultimately led to them being murdered. Did they deserve it? NO. Of course not. But why do some keep acting like their lifestyle was normal and what they were involved in was ok and they were just trying to get by? Just because it was normal to them doesn't make it right. I've never once thought about selling drugs, it's wrong in my opinion.. and from what I know, most people who sell them also do them.
I hope they find whoever did this ASAP but justifying their behaviors/activities is odd to me. Like "oh they were just trying to make a living." Yea so are people who steal things from others and sell it. Does that make it ok? They were not a family with a good reputation. Was LE supposed to ignore all of these facts to gain sympathy for them?
I hope this doesn't come across as harsh, I just can't wrap my head around it I guess. Maybe because I live a very different lifestyle than they did even though we are from the same area.
