A lot of metal recyclers don't particularly care where the stuff they process comes from, or whether or not it was obtained legally by the people who drag the stuff in. While I was working as a Diesel mechanic in a shop in southern Illinois, an owner-operator of a raggedy old truck showed up with a major engine failure and no money to fix it. The owner of the shop offered to "dispose" of the truck and trailer and pay the guy a part of the scrap metal price he could get from a shredder in another town. No, the guy didn't own the trailer!
Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid is forever!

4 less thugs in the world.
No loss. That's what I was thinking.

It'll be interesting to see if Mr. Kennedy is smart enough to remain silent. Make them prove he did it, if they got him, they got him, if not every word he utters will work against him.
When the cops interviewed him before he left for his Florida vacation he claimed he didn't even know who those four were.

About 2012 era. 3 morons... Cut like 80 some odd converters off the busses at the main school bus center on Madison st / 41 A Went to Heimshons salvage on the bypass. The owner told the 3 idiots he didnt have enough cash on hand and had to go to the bank and would be back in 20 30 mins with it. Just told the morons to wait for him to come back. They waited.... He came back with about 4 Clarkvegas Police cruisers.. Boyfriend, girlfriend and his mom . Wearing county inmate orange... 🤣🤣🤣

Metal scrapyards make lots of money from big businesses. Tax laws are so convoluted that it’s more profitable to scrap new motors, bearings, shafting, etc. whenever a factory shuts down an assembly line and retools.

Any news on this case? Here is what I'm guessing. 4 known criminals knew Joe Kennedy had a bunch of catalytic converters. They probably had sold him some and knew where he kept them. They set out on their bicycles with trailers using bicycles for stealth. The man they invited to go (but he declined) called Joe and warned him. This wasn't Joe's first rodeo and he knew he was up against 4 young men. He may or may not have planned to kill them but whatever transpired, he did. A man like Joe from past experience probably did not expect a fair shake from the law so he got rid of the bodies.
The case will be interesting if a real good homicide defense attorney gets on the case.

They need to produce enough evidence to tie Kennedy to the mess they found on a property that wasn't his first.
So far the man's claimed not to know who those guys were.

Deadlines and commitments, what to leave in, what to leave out...

How many catalytic converters can you steal while riding a bicycle? Sort of like the guy who was found at the bottom of the river wrapped in 20 feet of log chain- - - - - - -"Dam fool stole more chain than he could swim away with!" They could ride out there and steal the cats, and hide them in the woods, and then return at midnight in the pickup and load them up. It is hard to imagine what else of value would be in a junkyard. Most of the time the local low-life conventional wisdom is that “Ratty lookin’ ole Arnold, has the junk yard? Sheeet, that man has more money ‘n all of us put together…cash, too…he don’t put it in the bank else he’d hafta pay taxes on it “ Lots of possible truth to this. Years ago a guy with a wrecker and salvage was known for carrying a big wad of cash when he’d buy cars and tow them off. Someone called in for a tow out in the sticks late at night and when he showed up they shot him and his grandson before rifling through their pockets and the wrecker looking for that wad of cash. And in the mind of a scumbag meth monster $500 is a bunch of cash. Gotta love the fire though. Junk man shoots some guys up a decade ago for trying to rob him and he gets popped with a felony. Ten years later they read that he was a felon and he’s just another scumbag. Maybe he was, I didn’t know him, but we read all the time on here about how they aught to just shoot theives. 🤷🏼♂️ That was Mr. Parham and grandson (just a young child) from south of Anadarko.

Catalytic converters are way too much work for these types.
They would have more likely been after money or drugs or both.

Sounds like the junk man has little patience for thieves. After he was charged with handling the prior crooks, he didn’t want anything to do with the system the second time around.

Makes me wonder what Kennedy really had going on at his salvage yard other that auto salvage. Yeah this story doesn't add up. You don't murder four men and cut them up and throw 'em in the river because they were stealing your catalytic converters.
