6th Amendment rights have been ignored ever since.
For followers of Waco's "Baghdad Bob" Sgt. Pat Swanton, this is his obligatory quote from the article: As events unfolded on 5-17-2015 and several days/weeks following, we relayed to our public the most accurate and available account of the occurrences at Twin Peaks, Swanton wrote. Our investigators, along with other local, state and federal officials, have worked tirelessly to prepare the cases for criminal proceedings. At this point, there is nothing additional we can release.
“...there is nothing additional we can release.” = Null Set....
“...there is nothing additional we can release.” = Null Set....
A fair sized chunk of the responsibility can be laid at the feet of Hollyweird and the hit show “Sons of Anarchy”.
One day the truth will come out and the citizens of Waco will have to pay the bill.
As predicted, Constitutional rights were casually trashed. They're working on trying to force as many as possible into forfeiting 5th Amendment rights, too. It's the new normal?
From the article;
Tittle said two years is a long time for innocent people to have criminal charges hanging over their heads. Jobs have been lost, reputations have been smeared, and families have been placed under undue hardships, he said.Of all the shocking things associated with this fiasco, Id have to say that the general lack of concern and outrage from the media and the public is the most disappointing thing of all, Tittle said. These are not just technicalities were talking about. These are real peoples lives, and no one seems to give a damn. ..."
Trial for two Bandidos (if still on, according to schedule) slated to begin today, at 1 PM, in Fort Worth, for the incident which occurred Dec. 12, 2014 at Gator's Jam Inn II on Race Street. 401 Belknap Street, 396th District Court, on the sixth floor.
I have no idea if law enforcement got the right guys -- or not (or if they did get the "right" guys -- if they got all of them). All I do know is what I've read in the papers, and that one man, Geoffrey Brady, is dead. I've seen the grave.
Though I never knew the man, from what I've been able to gather, Brady was not a bad guy, was not a criminal. He was just a member of a small-time, local MC that's been around since at least the 1970's, and lacks reputation for criminality (as far as I know).
A Ghost Rider, from Arlington, Texas, presently resting (I do hope, in peace) a few dozen paces East of one of the ponds at Moore Memorial Gardens, in Arlington.
For openers, Texas Tick Turd Judge Ralph Strother should be impeached and removed from the bench. It never ceases to amaze me that Texas, a state that loudly crows about just how “wonderful” it’s “Just Us System” is, can allow this piece of crap to hold sway over these “proceedings.”
What this has devolved into, is a process to try, against all odds, to get the Whacko Gubbemint “officials” off the hook for the murders their police department committed at Twin Peaks. I am not a fan of criminal bikers, but I have yet to see any substantive evidence that ANY of those who have been charged are liable for the killings that happened. I would be surprised if ALL of them are killers, and I only hope that at the end of the day Whacko and McLennan County are made insolvent by the succeeding lawsuits brought by the defendants. I may not like bikers, but I do like the Constitution.
