I just read through this thread and saw lots of questioning on why none of the players are pointing the finger at RC if he was the mastermind or if he was involved in any way. Good question. How do we know they aren't? Have their statements been released and I missed them? Assuming no statements have been released, and assuming Ronald is guilty, why no finger-pointing?
Could it possibly be that MORE than Misty, Tommy, Ronald, and possibly Joe were involved? Who else could know or have been there that night? Teresa, GGS, Timmy, Chelsea, Lindsey, Lisa, the A/C guy (or maybe he was really the heater guy - after all, it was February). Anyone else? Other relatives. Drug dealers, dope heads..... The list is endless.
Assuming drug dealers or dope heads were there, could it be gang related and they are threatening everyone? I hear dope gangs can be brutal.
What if there are more family members involved (Cummings, Croslin, Sykes, Neves, etc.) and they're all protecting each other as well as themselves. Obviously, there's a LOT of drug use going on with this bunch. We can't use logic and rationalization in the usual manner in this case. We have to step outside the box. Did we learn nothing from the Anthony case? Some people do not fall into the norm. I have to say, I think the Satsuma crowd has the Anthonys beat by miles!
We think logically. Parents put their children's safety first. They check for broken glass in the yard, make sure the house is locked at night, are mindful of who comes in and out of the house because young children are present.... But we know they had people in and out, they did drugs and they trafficked them, there were weapons in the home, RC allowed a drugged up teen to watch his children, a girl who was clearly reluctant to do so and one who went on three day drug/sex binges. We know Teresa told Misty to watch the kids that night, by her own admission. We know RC has a criminal record. We know he has a violent nature. Many people have testified to that and we've seen it and heard it. We can't use logic here, it won't work.
Suppose all these family members knew about what went on and covered it up. They could all be locked up for their part. ALL of them. They all have something to lose. Satsuma would be practically a ghost town. They aren't just afraid of Ronald, they're afraid for themselves.
LE isn't telling us much. How do we know who's being implicated?
