Re: Shooting at Twin Peaks in Waco
Yep... and the blanket arrest with everyone there being charged with criminal conspiracy/racketeering. A lot of the people there were not Bandidos or Cossacks and were not there to get into a brawl or shootout and still wound up sitting in jail for weeks unable to get bail set. I think there will wind up being a bunch of lawsuits filed against McLennan County and Waco PD by the time it's all sorted out.

There was a one hour special on CNN Monday night about all this. Things are still very confusing. Plenty of blame to go all around.

Re: Shooting at Twin Peaks in Waco
All this stems from a group of biker badguys insisting that they have the right to tell others whether they can where the name "Texas" on their clothing.

I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.
I don't do those things to other people and I require the same of them.
Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.

Wow. What a mess. I realize some of these guys aren't angels, but justice should move better than that. And these are just the first couple of trials.JustSomeOldGuy wrote:The legal fiasco is still dragging on....

So are any of the bikers accused of murder?

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

Re: Shooting at Twin Peaks in Waco
I find it a little odd, but I guess the forensic evidence would rule out the idea of the police shooting some of the victims. I am curious what evidence they have that specific people did the shooting. Supposedly there was a lot of video so we will see when that goes public.mojohn wrote:

Can they show which people fired weapons and then prosecute them as accessories to murder even if they can't prove it was them that killed the victim?

Re: Shooting at Twin Peaks in Waco
Which makes nothing about what you said true. I am a member of a Veterans MA. My wife is a member of an MC. I know and associate with members of a lot of MC's, RC's and MA's, including 1% Clubs. There is zero fact in anything you posed above. If you have an actual source for your information, feel free to post it.Beiruty wrote:Both Bandidos and Kazaks are 1% bikers.maverick2076 wrote:Beiruty wrote:No it about paying, $10,000 per month per Chapter (Bikers safe house), where Kazaks refused to pay.Liberty wrote:All this stems from a group of biker badguys insisting that they have the right to tell others whether they can where the name "Texas" on their clothing.

BTW, is spelled Cossacks, not Kazaks.
