Uhh... not sure that I'd consider that family to be "safe".
Pull your fucking head out, willya?
"Police said the dogs were being raised for sale and for fighting."
I'm going to suggest using your real name if you expect anyone to give a shit what you think about some terrible thing that happened in Idaho. Are you a paid reporter for the Stranger? Does it say "Chicago Fan" on your paycheck? Or, maybe I'm wrong to believe that anyone at the Stranger gets paid to be a reporter.
And that is leading to more and more consideration on my part of the late BBC DJ John Peel's comment: "I would rather spend my time among the naive and well-intentioned, than among the sophisticated and malign."
@ 5, great moniker. Our 2nd pit bull is Valkyrie, more often called Valdookie or Valdooks. The street kids we adopted her from were kinda obsessed w/ Vikings and Norse mythology
Until then, I hesitate to speculate. Idaho is a very weird place, and it makes a fitting setting for such strange events. I presume that the pot growing operation was fairly large given that there were tractors on the property. If so, that may have been the impetus for the dog breeding operation, which later could've taken on a life of it's own. Given the illegality and the scale of these ventures, gunplay was probably inevitable.
I'm less than impressed with the SL Trib's typos ("They dead were identified" and then naming two of the victims after stating that this was a triple murder). I would expect that from myself or some commenter on a blog, but journalists at a major regional paper should know better than to let something this sloppy go live.
-Chicago fan.
So it is kinda like the idea of inalienable civil rights.
Anyhow...
Can we talk about how insanely, jaw-droppingly hot the girl in the Sassafras ad is?
Anyway, I don't know what it is about Idaho, but, some crazy shit goes on there.
Not enough lithium in the water, I guess.
24/7, 365.
Three people shot to death in a locale associated with drugs and mean dogs; what- that would show up on page 14 in the Chicago paper?
So easy to sneer down our nose at Idaho, so ironic when we live on the cutting edge of the end of civilization.
right Bro?
"Only eight days into 2013, Chicago is already on a grim pace to not only continue the bloody trend of an elevated homicide rate -- but to surpass it.
NBC Chicago pointed out that, as of Sunday, 12 people had been murdered in Chicago this year, which, at a rate of two a day, but the city on a pace for a devastating 730 homicides...."

"Twenty-five people were wounded in gun violence over the weekend in Chicago.
Two of the more than two dozen victims were fatally shot. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, 23-year-old Eugenio Solano was walking in the 1800 block of North Francisco with a 44-year-old man at 8:05 p.m. Friday when a group of three men approached them, asked for directions and opened fire. Solano was shot in the chest and died at the scene, while the other man suffered a non-fatal wound to his hand.
Solano -- whom his family described as funny, happy and "a people person" -- was gunned down the day before hosting a birthday party for his 4-year-old son, according to DNAinfo Chicago.
"A 15-year-old girl was shot dead over the weekend in Chicago's South Side.
Police say the teen girl, Ashaya Miller of Hammond, Ind., was shot "several times" around 8:50 p.m. in the 500 block of Ingraham Avenue, according to the Tribune.
The Calumet City Police Chief told CBS Chicago Miller was visiting friends or relatives in the suburb when someone shot through a kitchen window, striking the teen with a bullet.
Miller was taken to an Oak Lawn hospital where she was pronounced dead at 11:13 p.m. on Sunday, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. Police were still looking for a shooter as of Monday.
The 15-year-old's death came the same weekend that two were killed in the city and 11 more injured in violent deaths in Chicago.
DNAinfo Chicago reports 37-year-old Sanchez Mixon was beaten to death on the 47th Street Green Line 'L' platform while fighting with another man just before noon Saturday. Mixon was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Later Saturday night, 16-year-old Arrell Monogan was shot in the shoulder in the 2400 block of West 58th Street in the city's Gage Park neighborhood, according to the Sun-Times. The South Chicago teen was shot around 7 p.m. Saturday and pronounced dead less than 90 minutes later.
According to the Sun-Times, 11 more injuries were reported around town over the weekend, including a 15-year-old boy who was shot in the head in Lawndale Sunday afternoon and a sergeant with the Metra police department was stabbed in the leg several times trying to break up a fight at Union Station.
There were been five other homicides in Chicago, according to RedEye's homicide tracker, including 6-month old Jonylah Watkins who was shot on March 11.

Thank you for that! Best Slog line all weekend!

Or, possibly, that a criminal who raises fighting dogs can also be a woman?
Or that a female criminal who raises fighting dogs can also be a mother?
Or that a criminal who raises fighting dogs can also be a mother who tries to protect her children?
He's spent so long attempting to portray anyone who disagrees with him as a "gun nut" that he's lost the ability to understand that most other people are NOT single issue caricatures.
@41 - most other people are NOT single issue caricatures.
You, 5280, Cascadian Bacon, NancyBalls... tell me again how you're not?
This story is straight up tragic. Can not imagine the levels of violence and nastiness these poor children have already been exposed to.
Or if you have a distaste for propaganda and awkwardly untrue assertions, you can read about the world's longest-living dog here. Spoiler alert: the dog lived to 29, not 27. And ate meat, exclusively.
The PETA article also claimed that cats can live well on vegan diets, while it is well known to science that cats are OBLIGATE carnivores and require a variety of nutrients that are not found in vegetable matter.
I still think Hillary would have been the best choice, too.
Um, no. The need for supplements prove that veganism for carnivores like dogs is bad. Dogs eating meat get all the nutrients they need the way they are meant to get them. And, just as with meat for humans, meat for pets should come from ethical sources.
Forcing cats and dogs to veganism is animal abuse. If you simply can't stand to feed meat to your pets, don't keep any.
At this rate, pit bulls will have humans in Idaho massively outnumbered in a very few generations.
Vegan dogs do great on a balanced diet. Vegan cats do as well, although it's much trickier, and requires supplements since they require nutrients that only naturally occur with meat. There's nothing special about the nutrients in meat that can't be replaced with certain plants or supplements, though.
So, right before it died, possibly out of sheer misery, it was vegan?
Quit being a galvanizing dick. Then again, that's probably all you know how to do, is make fallacies. And no, I didn't make an ad hominem attack: you ARE galvanizing people, and that's generally considered a dickish thing to do. Unless your IQ begins with a decimal point, in which case it's considered the obvious answer.
Tell me something: Why are you Poisoning the Well and Ad Hominem attacking people who aren't here and don't care what you say, anyways? What is the point of shouting at the top of your lungs that you hate a people that is already hated by a sizable majority of the nation, for no reason other than you can't get wifi there? (And actually, you can.) Why do you so vehemently hate a group of people as though they were worse than the Westboro Baptists (may the founders and parents rot, and the children see truth), when they're mostly just living peaceful lives, and doing everything you think we all should be doing, only better (living off the land, not creating 300 metric fucktons of CO2, living simpler lives, not so much fighting nature as living in a sort of harmony with it)? Every liberal that walks in the big city could learn about 10 things about living from the "dipshit hair-trigger inbred homicidal hillbillies" just by LOOKING at them. From actually opening their minds, and talking to them honestly? They might change their whole worldview.
