There is no doubt that the Bandidos and many other 1% clubs are involved in drug trafficking. The Bandidos have been calling the shots since back in the 70's. That doesn't excuse the actions of the overzealous DA in McLennan County in the blanket arrest of everyone at that COC meeting

I was talking about the shooting. No more. No less.

Carry on.

I understand you were referring to those who were shot--by each other, or by the police officers (two officers I believe have already testified that they shot 4 of the 9 persons killed). However, there were many innocent bystanders that were hurt, but not shot. How would you have been affected if you were arrested and incarcerated on an "organized crime" felony charge, with $1 million bail ? Not because there was any evidence of you actually participating in the fighting or shooting, but simply because you were there. Those that couldn't come up with $100,000 to pay a bondsman sat in jail for weeks. Some lost their jobs. All of them lost personal property. They had their motorcycles seized and confiscated by the DA's office and the police department, as being used in an ongoing organized criminal activity. Many of them still face tremendous legal expenses and uncertainty about the future because the DA's office doesn't want to admit that they overreached in filing the mass charges to begin with. In my opinion, those people have been hurt terribly and unfairly.

I did learn something about "bottom-rockers" here while back. Had no idea what those were either.

No it about paying, $10,000 per month per Chapter (Bikers safe house), where Kazaks refused to pay.

LOL. You need to stop watching bad TV. There is not a shred of fact in your statement about the MC community.
