The Farentholds are, and always have been, a colorful bunch in South Texas society.

Blake's dad was something of a Prodigal Son. He spent most of his time turning his inheritance into booze and cocaine and had plenty of notoriety in Corpus Christi. I realize getting the ol' cement shoes treatment may be par for the course up where you come from, but down here it's just not something that happens every day.

Uh, first of all, your bigotry is noted and isn't funny. Secondly, your assumption that I think it's common/no big deal is disgusting. Finally, your original post said nothing of the guy's history and even so, the fact that he was killed shouldn't be justified with your "Eh, he had it coming to him" attitude.

None of this is in defense of Farenthold or the people that put the "cement shoes" on him (which you undoubtedly think I am doing because I called your stereotype disgusting and because I supposedly think that act is common). It's just that you shouldn't paint his family as colorful simply because his father was murdered and give zero background on it.
