“but I also think that everyone who runs afoul of the law deserves to be treated equally. “
10 mph over the speed limit is running ‘afoul’ of the law.
Gang warfare in a public plaza on a Sunday deserves harsher punishment ...
“Just a crazy coincidence that 90% of bikers are conservative voters.”
How many gangsters are conservative voters?
“Reminds of that old comic where the cowboy is holding a very angry rattlesnake, and his friend says, Okay. So you snuck up on it and grabbed it. How you gonna let go of it, now?”
You chop off the head!

Agreed! But thanks to the corrupt “judical system” in Waco, we still don’t really know what happened that day. Furthermore, mass arrests without any basis, are antithetical to this country and it’s Constitution. The idea that a government entity can deprive 117 individuals of their liberty without specific charges is gestapo-like.
But even in Waco, the truth will eventually come out. And that’s why Reyna has been dragging his feet, because when the truth does finally come out, he’s headed for disbarrment at the minimum, and being charged with abuse under color of authority more likely. Solving crimes with criminal activity on the part of prosecutors may be o.k. in Texas, but it sure as hell isn’t Constitutional. Reyna is like a cat trying tocover a 15 inch turd! I hope in the end, that the “good citizens of Waco” will face a multi-million dollar payout that really hurts. Then maybe they will choose their public officials more carefully!

“We don’t claim any territory, but the reason that the Bandidos have such an issue with us is that we wear the Texas rocker on our back, but we don’t pay them $100 a month per chapter to do it,” the Cossack said. “When you’ve got 100 chapters. That’s a lot of money.”
I have no issue with the prosecution of the bikers. They aren’t good people. That said, Waco still has to follow the law when it comes to their prosecution! There can’t be any shortcuts to justice! Somehow, you and some others here seem to think that because “everybody knows” biker’s are scum, that they should have their due process rights abused. Many of those bikers who were at Twin Peaks, didn’t harm anyone and even though you may not like them, they don’t deserve anything less than any of us would get if we were in a similar circumstance.

Not really. I have been a biker since 1961. There are bikers and then there are the gangsters. The gangsters are scum.
I believe that all the scum arrested in Waco have had their due rights processed according to the law and the constitution. NO ONE here has ever cited any specific legal abuses of their rights.
