What you don't know about motorcycle clubs
CNN ^ | October 6, 2015 | William Dulaney

Add to this the fact that the outlaw biker narrative has been largely controlled over time, not by members of the culture, but outsiders and the misconceptions grow. Case in point: the Waco incident. Sgt. Swanton of the Waco Police Department effectively controlled the story of what happened on May 17, 2015, and it appears that story has already begun to unravel. Regardless of what ultimately is shown to be the truth about the events in Waco, if history tells us anything it's that that story will not likely be broadcast as widely as the law enforcement narrative was ... if at all.

Badoom tish (cue laughtrack). Tell me what is a “TRUE” Christian. It should be very easy to state if you actually know it.

New Jersey[edit]

On July 17, 1994, at least eight members of the Pagans showed up at the annual charity picnic fund-raiser organized by Tri-County MC in Hackettstown, NJ. The Pagans were there to intimidate local motorcycle clubs into aligning with the Pagans so they would have a larger power base to prevent the Hell’s Angels from getting established in New Jersey. A fight started and escalated from fist to knives and guns. When it was all done, Pagans Glenn Ritchie & Diego Vega had been shot dead. Pagan Ron Locke & Tri-County member William Johnson had gunshot wounds, and Tri-County member Hank Riger had had his throat cut by Ron Locke.[9]

New York/Pennsylvania[edit]

On February 23, 2002, 73 Pagans were arrested in Long Island, New York after appearing at an indoor motorcycle and tattoo expo called the Hellraiser Ball.[10] The Pagans had shown up to the event to confront Hells Angels who were at the Ball. Dozens of Pagans rushed the doors of the event and were met with violence by the Hells Angels. Fighting ensued, ten people were wounded, and a Hells Angel allegedly shot and killed a Pagan member. Two weeks later, a Pagans owned tattoo parlor located in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was firebombed.[11]

In 2005, Pagans allegedly opened fire on and killed the Vice-President of the Hells Angels’ Philadelphia chapter as he was driving his truck on the Schuylkill Expressway.[12] Later that year, the Hells Angels closed their Philadelphia chapter.[citation needed]

In September 2010, nineteen members of the Pagans were arrested in Rocky Point, New York for allegedly conspiring to murder members of the Hells Angels. Charges also include assault, distribution of cocaine and oxycodone, conspiracy to commit extortion and weapons charges.[13] Two federal ATF agents infiltrated the gang, providing key evidence. One agent eventually served as sergeant-at-arms, the second-highest position in the hierarchy. Gang members were heard plotting to murder members of the Hells Angels using homemade hand grenades.[14]

Well, well, well... the gallant defender of Statists who shoot down citizens arrives. Thus, I am deprived of saying IBTG.

The big question is “Will TG help Waco pay off all the lawsuit judgements (or settlements prior go judgement) that will be rendered?” Or perhaps TG will simply troll any threads discussing those judgements and bewail the unfairness of the judgements.

Nope.

He’s terrified of bikers.

Especially “my” bikers.

No doubt he dreads B.A.C.A., as well.

Oh, and Dobermanns.

Scared silly of ‘em.

There is suspicion that an undercover agent was exposed and fired the first shot. I have no evidence of that, but it would explain the police actions.

If post number 1 is yours, you obviously have not talked with Texas Gator or his cadre of merry men. According to them, motorcycle riders are the bane of the universe. Global warming is not even on the spectrum. The threat of and effect of nuclear war cannot hold a candle to the threat posed by one motorcycle rider. Let alone two or more. How the universe has survived with the roads full of them is one of the mysteries of all time. The Waco Police Department, to its credit has made a valiant effort to eradicate the world of this menace. And, given enough time, they are sure to do so. Their Sargent Swinton bravely, courageously, and great valor took part in eradicating the threat posed by the children and women of the Branch Davidians. No less can be expected of him when it comes to defending the galaxy from the threat posed by motorcycle riders.

In closing, you should speak with Texas Gator and his cohorts. you would then come away with a different perspective of the threat posed by motorcycle riders.
