Doctor Jason, Brother in Jail, that was indeed hinted at but not confirmed.

As for Burt causing the fight on ego.

I disagree as well. We know that The Mallers were slavers and making plans to take out Dunbar if needed. To say Burt not backing down to Scratch is what caused everything is nuts. You can say that the Tankers were theirs and by taking them started the war... but they also stole his guns from his shop. To say "Yeah.. Those guys that are slavers... murderers... rapists... and thieves would have just left The Tower alone if Burt would not played Alpha Dog" is crazy talk. What The Mallers are is indeed fact as well. Tardust tried to rape Lizzy..They had Slaves.... CJ had a file over them killing people for supplies... and they kidnapped and innocent girl and raided Burt's Place.

Oh... and they attacked and took over The Colony first chance they got. The Colony did nothing to them. Dunbar did nothing to them, but they kidnapped (and murdered) an innocent girl to plant a mole to find a way to take them out if needed.

So I am not buying the "Burt's Ego caused this". He may have alerted them when they went to the Truck Yard, but that isn't his fault. Based on what they did to The Colony, and planning on Dunbar, it would have just been a matter of time.
Now you're just plain high if you think that guy in the yard was innocent. You said so yourself, "murderers... rapists... and thieves." As for enslavement? Who was in charge at the Mall? I forget. His name... started with a D... Darren? Daryl? Durai? It's been so long, I've lost perspective on history. None of them are innocents. As for her brother going to jail for her? That's between the two of them. The only person grasping at straws here is you and your staunch refusal to see the story from any perspective other than the one you hold to be the right one.

TARDUST tried to rape Lizzy, not Scratch. Fact is Scratch threatened to feed him to The Sisters for it. So... As far as what she did to Burt, cutting off his finger to get information? Sure. She tortured him to find Pegs, which is par for the course. Isn't Tardust in danger of suffering a similar fate at the hands of someone who, by your definition of degrees of sanity and culpability, is on the side of righteousness? Or am I completely mistaken that the likelihood of torture is not imminent?

As for CJ? She has her own motivations for what she does. She has a file on everyone, not just those from the mall. That's her thing.

Beyond that you're speculating on a possible future-past. The difference between my speculation, and your speculation is mine doesn't ally itself with your own, therefore I must be wrong. And in circles we go.
