Did Sly's Stepbro Slay?

Sylvester Stallone's stepbrother is up against the ropes after being busted for alleged first-degree murder.

Bryan Rhodes, the stepson of Sly's dad Frank (so no blood relation), is suspected of being a go-between in an oxy drug deal gone bad, reports the Palm Beach Post. The popo claim Rhodes set up the robbery, targeting a reputed drug dealer, which ended in the dealer's murder.

Sly's rep said she didn't expect him to comment.

1. TMZ-can your headline be anymore misleading. He is not Sly's step-brother. Step-nephew, maybe.

3. How sad it is that we live in a world which victimizes criminals due to societal relationships. Bryan Rhodes is a self-proclaimed murderer and should be treated as such. My heart is with the family of the real victim.

5. Don't make about Slyvester Stallone or the "reputed" drug dealer. NO ONE has the right to take another person's life.

6. I live in this town... I grew up here... The REAL victim who was murdered is someone I LOVE very much! He is NOT remembered as a "reputed drug dealer"... but as a loving son, brother, friend and man... to SO many people. His family is suffering more than words could ever describe now because of that MURDERER BRYAN RHODES!!!! I will be watching, and waiting.. to see him suffer.

8. He was charged becauce HE set the victim up. The victim was a nice guy too. The victim has a family too. The victim made a bad choice too, when he call Bryan his friend.

9. I'm angry too. You can't imagine the pain the victim's family is going through. I feel for his family, but, he is the one who made them victims as well.

I HAPPEN TO KNOW THEY USED TO HANG OUT "ALL THE TIME"... THEY WERE CO-WORKERS, FRIENDS!!!!!!! AND YOU SAY HE "MADE A BAD CHOICE?" YOU SAY THAT LIKE HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO WOULD BE AT RISK.. YOU ARE TOTALLY FULL OF IT... AND IF YOU REALLY WANT PEOPLE TO SEE HIS FAMILY, AND IF YOU HONESTLY THINK THAT ANYONE FEELS ANY SYMPATHY FOR A PATHETIC AND WEAK MURDERER LIKE BRYAN, THEN WHY DONT YOU TAKE THE MYSPACE PAGE OFF OF PRIVATE?!

11. HEY "The girl whom the victim loved, and loves in return"...FYI THAT IS NOT MY MYSPACE PAGE...IT IS HIS WIFES....I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHETHER IT'S PRIVATE OR NOT. I THINK THAT IT'S SAD AND UNFORTUNATE FOR BOTH PARTIES INVOLVED...YOU CAN CALL BRYAN A MURDERER BUT THEN AGAIN SOMEONE COULD CALL KENNETH JUST ANOTHER DRUG DEALER .....IT GOES BOTH WAYS WHEN YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO CHARACTER ASSASSINATE...IM JUST SYMPATHETIC FOR BRYANS DAUGHTER WHO WILL PROBABLY GROW UP WITHOUT A FATHER NOW...

12. It does no good to exchange insults. It won't change what happened. But, you tell me who isn't a drug dealer. The person who goes buys himself pot and gets extra to sell to a friend. Or the person who buys pills and get extra to sell to a friend. Unfortunately in this case, the "friend" was selfish. He could have warned Kenneth, but didn't. Yes, his daughter may grow up without a father, but that's on him. Kenneth will never have children. His life is over. Yes he made some bad choices, but, he didn't deserve what happened to him. And for your information, Kenneth was trying to get out of it. He just wanted enough money to go home and get a fresh start.

13. bryan is a good guy. he had a drug problem that kenny exploited to get a little money out of bryan. kenny also acted on his own by going to greenacres to sell drugs to a gangbanger. his fault. all this poor kenny garbage makes me sick. bryan was in marlyand when kenny was killed. sooo that makes him what? not a killer! kennys family probably is trying to potray him as a good kid now so they can try to squeeze some money out of the stallone family. kenny is (excuse me) was a drug dealer, and what do drug dealers do??? they kill people by selling poison to those who cant get away from it. yeah im sure the families of all the kids whose lives were ruined by kennys cocaine and pills deserve to suffer too dont they? so who cares that this kid got shot while distributing poison to our children. its kenny and the guy who shot hims the problem if you ask me. bryan shouldnt suffer for this. hes innocent! and I HOPE HE GOES FREE AND LAUGHS IN ALL YOUR FACES! being a close friend of bryans i know that he is torn apart over all this and would never kill anyone. so i hope you all are happy with yourselves. punishing an innocent man is not going to bring your guilty son back to life. deal with it.

14. The family is mourning the loss of a loved one. Suing anyone is the farthest thing from their mind. But, thanks for the suggestion, I'll pass it on. As far as being related to Sylvester Stallone, I believe I was the first person to mention that this had nothing to do with him and he never should have been brought into it. This has been a tragedy for both families.

15. Alright "close friend of Bryan's", you are under my skin...
You are right, Kenny acted on his own. He chose Bryan as a friend, and as such, he chose to trust him. That was his fault, and obviously not his only fault. No one is denying the mistakes that Kenny made, although none of the effects that his mistakes MAY have had on others is irreversable.
"Poor Kenny garbage"?? You are damn right poor Kenny. He was set up to be murdered by someone he called a friend, by someone that you call a friend. You are the one that is poisoning our families. You are making excuses and justifications for murder. You are trying to give allowances to put the families on BOTH sides through the pain that they are feeling.
On top of that, you are trying to assume that there is monetary value for a life. It is so ironic that you are worried that he may be portrayed as the "good kid" that you and Palm Beach Post are trying to make Bryan out to be. And being such a good friend, you should know that Bryan IS NOT in the Stallone family. That aside, none of Kenny's family has tried to portray any kind of image for him. They don't need to portray "good kid" when him know him as a GREAT MAN.
BRYAN IS NOT INNOCENT. He orchastrated a murder. He committed a crime against a man, that man's family and friends, and his own family and friends and should be punished accordingly. (Although no one did ask you.) But considering he is so torn and would never do anything like this...why don't you ask him about his guilty plea of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon? Why don't you ask him about the be murdered for the times he was arrested for drug dealing?

You are right, nothing will bring Kenny back, and whether or not Bryan pulled the trigger, HE is to blame for it. HE IS GUILTY AND WILL SEE KENNY'S FACE THROUGH THE BARS OF HIS CELL EVERYDAY FOR THE REST OF LIFE, SO DEAL WITH IT!
