Personal observations:
Okay. The Jax and Keenan families have an ugly history. Jerry is blackmailing Ewen because he knows Ewen killed his father. This only explains how Jerry was able to get Ewen to do his bidding it does not explain Jerry's sick vendetta against the entire city. I sure hope there is more to this story.
