They must have been provoked? Lmao it’s so crazy the judging you people do just based on how they look. If they were Hispanic or black or look like white trash tweakers y’all wouldn’t Have given them any benefit of doubt. They Broke into someone’s house with a gun with ill intentions. It’s inexcusable no matter who you are or what the hell you look like!

They may be good guys but they really didn’t think about the situation very well. Obviously someone ripped them off and they were there to get what was theirs, but bringing guns was a bad choice. Now they got some explaining to do. And yes they do have good parents!

All a bunch of idiots but, when you take a growers goods you have to expect retaliation. Everybody knows the rules!

I grew up with these guys. Were in trouble off and on. Parents never put their foot down on them in high school. But they are adults now, so no longer their parents responsibility! Sure the truth will come out in this situation, always does!! Thank God no one was killed.

This isn’t the first situation like this that I’ve heard these names in. No good, sane human being invades someone else’s home and shoots at them even when “provoked”, just saying.

Wow!!

Amazed people jump to conclusions of either side, however, knowing both 2 victims and the 2 named suspects personally, the actions of the suspects are completely inexcusable and intolerable!! To come to a private residence, with gloves on and a gun, breaking in doors, to gain entrance, sucker punching as they enter to further gain access into the home and then kicking another door in and then have it swing back because it hit the wall and came back at them and when yelled that the cops were being called and so they discharge a firearm to further gain entry and then realize they f@cked up, but when running back out decide to further assault the first victim with more punches as he is trying to get up and can’t believe that his so called “big brothers” would ever come to his home that they, the suspects, always knew as their second home as they grew up two houses away and could come and go as they pleased and could always find refuge there, was actually attacking him. Why ???? There are no drugs or cash at this home. It would have been reported. There is a bunch of bullshit from these suspects ….still wondering why???? They all need to turn themselves in!! Especially Colt Tuel and the third suspect!!! Broc at least came to his senses. Own it people if you are so f@cking tough!!! Unfortunately, Prison is definitely the more difficult route to be educated as to what is actually right or wrong….your parents did teach you better!!!!!

It is a shame to see friends I went to school with throw away a lot of their potential young adult years, possibly trading it for prison time. We already lost one of our close friends to a mandatory 10 year stretch in an Idaho prison for heroin trafficking. He gets out when he is 32. He did tell me tho, it has straightened him out!!

Reguardless of what caused these guy’s to act in the way they did it is in no way shape or form acceptable! For those who think its only karma being taken into their own hands, go fuck yourselves because idiots like this make our once beautiful county a errie and dangerous place to be. All done out of impulse to retaliate or to prove a point. Which Doesnt make either party any better than the other. Not leaving out the fact that these ass holes are the reason for all the laws against us owning or concealing our firearms! Making it even more harder for those to protect our families!
