Interesting report, but most of all will not be admissible in court, as will all of the moronic comments by Freepers who think that they know everything. What I would like to see is a fair trial with all relevant evidence presented in open court and the persons responsible for the murders brought to justice. That is unlikely to happen, politics and power is at play and the prosecutor, the courts, and the police have little interest in telling the world what they already know.

I’ve actually dated a former Outlaws member.
He was a former marine, and really a nice guy. Alot of biker guys are former military. I think it’s the brotherhood aspect that they miss when they go into civilian life.

Agree. I wonder if we would have had some of the same sympathetic reactions if the story had started:

T-Dog was a real person. His family wants you to know that.

He was a “big ol’ bear” of a man, tall and strong and slightly rotund, with a shaven skull hiding a strong-jawed, handsome face. His given name was Tyquan Marvin Washington, though most people called him T-Dog. He could come off gruff, and he didn’t watch his language.

Rhyne loved his kids and sports and Miller Lite. He worked at the same place for 19 years, pouring iron at a foundry. You couldn’t drag him away from his hometown, Ranger, Texas, a decrepit place nearly a century removed from its oil-field heyday. He still hung out with his ex-wife, Rocki Hughes, and he kept the high-school rings they’d exchanged at their wedding tucked away in a box, along with old Father’s Day cards.

I worked as a floor detective. Nearly all criminals were really nice guys. Ted Bundy was described as charming. It is how used car salesmen make a living. Even Billy S knew that; “O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!
My tables, — meet it is I set it down,
That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain;”

This biker worship on FR is getting a little silly. Who gives a rat's a$$ about those morons? Should they all be thrown into prison for life? Fair trial, we don't need no stinkin' fair trail, we don't give no rat's a$$ about these scum. Do you know who are the 1%, how do I know that you aren't one - you used to own a Harley. Sounds pretty scary to me and I don't like motorcycle people. Lock 'em all up that what I say.

Yep, we are just being silly. What about if anyone in Texas exercises their right for open carry. Do we give a rat's a$$ about them. Why don't we just throw those morons in prison? They don't deserve a fair trial.

A good read. It does put the Cossack’s in a more favorable light but that’s expected by whom is telling the story.

I can pick out the truth in it though and it does give a better picture of what led up to the event on May 17th.

Like everyone; still waiting for all the facts, video, and ballistics to be revealed.

“T-Dog” is actually my gang name.
