This is the life when you endulge in cocaine trafficking,,,you put your family and friends in danger as well,,sad that it happened but this is what's expected or Jail

[@mainstmechanical7932]

The father is mostly to blame thats what happens when you try to role with killers.

[@julianpimentel7331]

Don’t talk on shit you don’t know. Danny was his best man many years ago at his wedding. Danny helped plan it out. Knew a lot of key details they other guys needed. Yall talk a lot of something you don’t know

[@thetaureanmisanthrope]

​@@julianpimentel7331 And? How does anything you stated negate the fact that he was a drug dealer who was using his restaurant to wash money? Newsflash for you, Darling: *HE WAS A CRIMINAL. A THUG. A WILLING PARTICIPANT IN MISCHIEF.* All of the aforementioned ultimately cost his family their lives. The wife most likely knew what he was involved with but chose to turn a blind eye as long as the bills were paid and he kept her hands clean. That's the thing about organized crime; it imposes chaos and destruction in the lives of people who who aren't even directly involved. It seems to only be seen as an issue when a particular class and race of people do it, but I digress.

[@thetaureanmisanthrope]

He was rolling with killers because he was a criminal himself. Duh.

[@thetaureanmisanthrope]

​​@@julianpimentel7331You parroting this under every comment will not clean his image nor will it bring him back. He was a criminal and a drug dealing one at that. Deal with it.

[@bodyzoasispersonaltraining9186]

Dont mess w criminals is the bottom line.

[@elainevankat5353]

Exactly!!!!

[@thetaureanmisanthrope]

He was "messing" with criminals because he was a criminal himself. Why is that basic fact being overlooked here?

[@chriswitt2596]

My goodness if you play with fire you're going to get burned a very old lesson

[@thetaureanmisanthrope]

He was the fire; he was just outsmarted this time.

[@marylang4172]

Finally! Some details about this case! I havent seen any coverage. I called the courthouse when this trial started to see if there was video being taken during court proceedings by the court itself. Nope. Only transcrips available. Such a huge story. So sad for the family.

[@thetaureanmisanthrope]

We all know how the media likes to protect the image of white people; even to the detriment of your own communities. It's an open secret at this point.

[@BananaExpress-er8sm]

And she’s right. Bobby IS evil. Looking into his eyes is like looking into two empty hell pits,

[@TheReasonableSkeptic-ii4te]

Nice of local gun stores to arm the Banditos.

[@BananaExpress-er8sm]

None of you know what you are talking about, This wasn’t about drugs. It was about ego. The ringleader in this is a psychopath and his “trigger” is people he considers inferior “talking back” to him. This was not sanctioned by the Banditos. He brought his brother who was not even a member and his “protege”. This was way too sloppy to be a “hit”. This was personal. Bobby Watson only gets sloppy when you get him in a narcissistic rage. Whatever Careaga said to him sent him over the edge. I know people like to throw the term “white supremicist” around. Bobby Watson is the only one I’ve ever met in real life. Sure I’ve met racists but that is a whole other ballgame. He’s American History X kind of WP. He actually brought that movie to my house. He loved the curb stomp scene. Grew up to be quite a Cameron. Actually feel bad for DK, let himself be manipulated by a master and now he’s got to live with helping to kill his best friend, Yeah. Any of you know that? Careaga and one of his killers used to be BF’s. How sad is that? DK’s life is over as is Bobby’s brother because they fell in with a psychopath. Whole lot deeper then “drugs, people.

[@BananaExpress-er8sm]

And yes I’ve heard all kinds of nasty racial slurs come out of his mouth and I’ve known him for 35 years. Most predominately the ones used for black people and Hispanics, it’s shocked me this person who started out as a petty thief early on has grown in this giant Kitsap County boogie man. Countless people know all of this about him but are too scared “because Banditos” to say it. This actually WAS a racially motivated crime but no one wants to say it for some reason. They sure will scream it when it’s not.

[@angelinahernandez2793]

Well said, thank you!

[@F30586]

He said “you better PC Up, The Mexicans are coming!”

[@anthonyballard8468]

Prohibition don't work

[@bradpnw1897]

The Mexicans supply the majority of the hard drugs all over wa state though and mainly stay in the background.

[@mannyboyaztlan5127]

@@mrfunatparties6763we run everything anywhere .

[@pheo1418]

Mexicans stay to themselves unless there's drama between gangs, I also know Mexicans are prideful bunch so i doubt they'll do anything to the bikers because the guy they killed was a fellow biker they'll consider him a outsider..

[@cristhianvera-aguilera3740]

Mexicans don’t need run your part of the neighborhood much to find a way to get to you. When the Mexicans want you they will get you.

[@vexotimmer2675]

Yeah, as much I hate to say it, the father is responsible for what happened to himself and his family.

[@Minass848]

Why

[@1greatNorthwestmom]

I hope they have the right guys and that justice is served. It would be great if it could be televised. This story is so sad and all to close to home.

[@joekulik999]

Justice will NOT Be served until ALL Drugs are Legalized.

[@thetaureanmisanthrope]

​@@joekulik999Oregon has already tried it, and we see how that worked out for them.

[@kkalauli23]

They did not want it to go down easy.... some them if not all wanted him to pull something so they could serve and protect us the right way with these types

[@Jay714.]

I was in jail with one of the brothers same Pod

[@mbuck253]

Cool.

[@user-cf8ps5gf6v]

Justice is being served!

[@mannyboyaztlan5127]

😂they probably wanna blame 🇲🇽 for the drugs. 😂😂😂 why not blame yourself for your own actions. 🇲🇽 doesn’t force you to do drugs or disrespect others . That’s your own responsibility.

[@tommygamba170]

Wow. Never herd about this

[@rmj276]

This happened in my home town , pretty crazy stuff.

[@joanie7107]

Nice community minded families and uncles … righhhttt 🤪

[@billcastle1987]

Sharing from Kitsap County...

[@thetaureanmisanthrope]

I only feel bad for the children. I have no sympathy for thugs or their affiliates.

[@jessegarcia2060]

Congratulations on the investigation..That was a hard case to crack.

[@Root1966]

Tragic for the family but I’m sure many murders and many destroyed families have stemmed from Johnnys drug trafficking/criminal activities. He put his family at risk and they paid the price

[@its-c0e-u-see]

100% the dads fault

[@ThefalseMessiah9]

Hardest shit ever”PC up the Mexicans are coming”,dang.

[@kimberlythompson926]

Heck yeah child killers in prison are the first to be targeted. Wow they’re in for a rude awakening.

[@joekulik999]

A case like this one is an excellent example of why ALL Drugs should be Legalized. 50 years of Wars On Drugs have accomplished NOTHING. Street drugs are as easy to get today as they ever were. Drug Laws are not the Solution to the problem. Drug Laws are the problem. You never hear about liquor store owners having a shoot out on the street because they are legitimate business people who pay taxes. I am NOT saying that using drugs is right, but what does right or wrong mean to this family now that they are all dead ???

[@lloydwalters4252]

All drugs legalized? That's the dumbest thing, I ever heard! You are delusional and crazy

[@BryceMcQueen-qk2zu]

I can't believe that was already 5 yrs ago ! Amazing ! There's bad apple's everywhere. Electrician's, Union Carpenters , Motorcycle club members , police , waiters, nurses, preachers etc etc. The fact that they were connected to the motorcycle club doesn't mean that these "club guys , That club"would condone, support this bs! Even more so if they're father's! I would think!?! I can't imagine a sick deed like that would ,"elevate these guys position in the club !?!" I.hope not! Than again, WTF do I know!

[@WhatsUp20201]

Bandidos are an outlaw 1%er club gtfoh

[@slowbladepenetrates]

If it did in fact connect to them getting elevated, that might signal a broader conflict brewing. But it's hard to say - Bandidos seem like one of the longest running PNW oddities of a strong local presence without much of a national presence, and sometimes police try to drum up broader conspiracy/racketeering charges than the evidence supports. But it sounds like they did a lot of surveillance before they moved on these guys, so who knows?

[@nettierose9763]

Wow you guys don't know shit. Im so sick of this

[@harley1s1]

So why don’t you fill in the blanks for us then, since you seem to know more than the prosecutors????

[@robinporter7000]

Too bad.Sad story.
