This is horrible beyond words.

According to investigators, Rodriguez was involved in a relationship with the mother of the suspect, 37-year-old Robert Hoffpauir. Investigators said there was some sort of domestic disturbance in which Hoffpauir physically assaulted Rodriguez, tied a tow strap on him, connected it to his truck, and dragged him down the road for about a mile.
…..
Hoffpauir was arrested and charged in connection with the murder. His bond was set at $1 million.

That is just unbelievable! How someone can hate another person enough to do something like that is beyond my ability to understand.

IMO that is very personal, painful way to kill someone and/or teach them a lesson. I'm curious to know if there is more to the story. I suppose seeing someone hurt your mother could be enough, but the intensity seems like something deeper. MOO

Dreadful. And why are so many of these grown men living with their mothers or parents?

I don’t understand it either, but it’s not the first time a man has been murdered this way.

James Byrd was dragged behind a truck in Jasper TX in 1998 by white supremacists who knew him…a little over an hour away from this latest murder.

I remember the Byrd case well. Absolutely horrifying. At least his killers were executed for that outrage.
