Do you often go out for lunch with members of criminal gangs?
No, I hang out with a much more dangerous bunch, "right wing extremists." A government which does not consider Muslims as possible terrorists considers me to be extreme and dangerous by definition.
Were I to have lunch with such a group, I wouldn't expect to be herded into the paddy wagons like cattle and assigned $1M bail.
The Waco PD has set the bar very high. They've arrested and charged over 100 bikers. Conspiracy charges are generally vague enough that a lie could stick, but the chance of 100% conviction is roughly the same that Obama is actually Ollie North in disguise.
Unlike those who have already convicted all in their minds, I'm willing to let events play out. Now I believe it's more likely that as more becomes known the local PD will be viewed as the offenders.
Predictably, those who have to choose sides (rather than judge based upon facts) will be unavailable for comment.
